Sue Report 1 Dec 2016 19:00

Hi I'm trying to find the family of John Morris born 1850 in Farnham. I can find him on the 1851 census but then he and most of the rest of his family do not appear on any census. He reappears on the 1881 census living in Shirland Derbyshire. I have his parents as Richard Morris born about 1809 in Farnham and his mother Anne Quennell (also known as Hannah/Anna) born about 1806. Any help appreciated

Not sure if she remarried Shirley.

Am confused with the 1851 census as it states Richard aged 42 Hannah aged 26 as his wife Hannah (daughter) aged 18
