At that time "Son-in-law" or "daughter-in-law" more often meant child of spouse from before the marriage, thna it did the modern meaning


we'd call it step-child

Very true Sylvia

On familysearch there was a William Morris born 1829 Kidderminster with the same batch no and parents

I wonder if this is Richard and Sarahs marriage
Richard Morris married 13/12/1819 Old Swinford Worcestershire to Sarah Oldnall

SylviaInCanada Report 16 May 2011 06:32

well if Richard Sr really was a boat man, as it says on the 1861, then they could be anywhere, and they might even have avoided getting counted!
