With the help of some of you kind folk, I have gone as far as I can on my side on the family (Yelland_ but am now on my late husbands family . Have got as far back as 1835 when his Grandfather Edward Sharman Morris was born (died 1862 Poplar) and married Justina Margaret Garden in1823. She was born around 1800 and died 1869-Limehouse.I have tried and tried and can;t get any further back. The Morris family I think were quite wealthy - but ? I would so grateful for any help - I realise the name Morris is a common one but they were NOT Welsh ! as far as I know and lived mostly around the London area. I don;t know where the Warringtons came from - London area I suspect.
Be pleased to hear from anyone who might have any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
