Find Ancestors

Hi again,

I'm still struggling tryng to find my grandmothers family. She was named ELIZABETH JONES MORRELL, and was the twin sister of EMMA JONES MORRELL, born in PENDLETON, SALFORD, in Dec. 1878. Her father was definately ROBERT JONES MORRELL, and she had a brother HAROLD JONES MORRELL.

On her marriage cert. REGISTER NO 126, she lived at 27, PRIORY ST. PENDLETON, SALFORD. She married OLIVER GEE, on 06/04/1901, at PENDLETON PARISH CHURCH, poss, ST THOMAS'S.

If anyone can help, I would be grateful, and please let me know where you found the info, as I am still very new to this,

Thanks again,

Irene

these might be her children only the birth cert; will prove them

i know they are in Derby but i checked in Salford and there are no births for Gee/Murrell Maybe they moved

In 1901 at 27 Priory Road Pendleton -the address given at the head of this thread are
Robert Jones 43 Seamer in Cotton factory b Eccles
Eliza Jones 48 b Broughton
Eliza (this would be Elizabeth 22 Winder
Emma 22 Warper
John 20 Tripe processor
Robert 18 Cottton factory
Thos 16
Alf 13
Alice 11
Harry 9
Ernest 6
All children bor Pendleton

So When did MORRELL come into the picture as an addition to the name?

So Roberts second wife is Eliza Eden?

1871 Barton upon Irwell
Thomas Jones 71 Gardener b Llangollen Denbighshire
Eliza Jones 57 b Stretford
Robert 14 cotton weaver b Eccles
Thomas 13 cotton weaver b Eccles
Rachel Rodgerson 4 grand daur b Eccles

1861 Barton upon Irwell
Thomas Jones 59 Market gardener b LLantsilio Denbighshire
Eliza Jones 46 b Stretford
John 16 b Flixton
Alice 13 b Flixton
Joseph 10 b Flixton
Rachel 7 b Davyhulme Eccles
Robert 4 do

at the top of the thread she married Oliver Gee ,Hence her children Gee/ Murrel

Eureka ! think this might give the Morrell connectiom
1851 Flixton (penny lane)
Thomas Jones 50 Wid Gardener Llangollen
Mary 17
Ann 15
John 8
Alice 3
Joseph 6 mths all b Flixton
ELIZA MORRELL 30 House servant

So it looks as if Thomas had children with Eliza but never married her (cant find a marriage in 1850s) and so the children were legally reg as Jones Morrell but opted to use only Jones for the censuses

Thank you for you help, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to veryfy this information, I have been on the Family search .org site, thanks for that info to 'Ericthered'. but can only find details of 'Robert gee' and his parents, but not who he was married too, or his children.
Putting Elizabeth Jones Morrell in, just seems to draw a blank.

I am trying, very, s my husband would say, but am not getting very far.

I even started with my dad, Oliver Gee,born Sep 1910, Elizabeths son, but got nowhere.

Can someone please tel me where to look for info, and also how to prove it is correct.

Sorry to be a nuisance, but thanks again,

Irene

Sorry that was Robert Morrell I found, not Robert Gee

If you go to free bdm there are a lot of births after the marriage for olliver Gee to elizabeth 1901 up to 1920s in Salford but unless you know who their children were it will be very difficult,
