William Morris's birth might have been misheard or something?

Not seeing any births for William Morris Jones or Breakwell in Cleobury Mortimer or Ludlow or Kidderminster.

Births Dec 1905
Jones William Horace Cleobury M. 6a 565

And the Sarah Jane I found in 1901 is single, age matches up with the birth Flick found.

They obviously lied in 1911 about their 'marriage'

There's a marriage for Sarah Breakwell in Cleobury ( same area Flick found her birth) but it's not to Jones...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Mar 1898

Austin William Henry - Cleobury M. 6a 815
Breakwell Sarah - Cleobury M. 6a 815

It doesn't look like they married officially or their marriage was missed from the GRO indexes.

The 1911 census entry states there were married for 11 years, but noticeably Sarah's age is out by a year or two, so I'd take that info with a pinch of salt.

A tree on Ancestry has Sarah Jane as being the daughter of Julia Breakwell and having a stepfather called William Dudley.

And Ralph?

Jones Ralph Edward Cleobury M. 6a 574

So it would seem that they didn't marry....................perhaps William had a wife already

Birth of the first child from 1911 census?
