William Lamford-26 [Parents] was born on 18 Nov 1797 in Greenhill Rents, London. He was christened on 28 Dec 1797 in St Sepulchre, Holborn. He died before 1858. He married Charlotte Morris-27 on 24 Sep 1832 in St Leonard's, Shoreditch, London.

NOTE he would have been 34 at the time of his marriage, his bride under 15(see her notes)! This information must have come from Gerry Lamford as it is not shown on the marriage record, which states that he was a batchelor of the parish.

NOTE not with wife in 1851 but she is listed as married not widowed.

NOTE in 1847 he was listed as a shoe maker.

DEATH DATE - he was alive in May 1847 when his son William Morris Lamford was born, but died before daughter Ann Elizabeth's wedding in 1858, by which time his widow had remarried. Unable to find an entry on freeBMD.

Charlotte Morris-27 was born about 1817/1819 in Somerstown, London, Middlesex, England. She died after 1891. She married William Lamford-26 on 24 Sep 1832 in St Leonard's, Shoreditch, London.

Other marriages:
Bell, Samuel

BIRTH date based on ages in census, but was probably before this..

MARRIAGE information from Gerry Lamford, who points out that if the census ages are near correct, she was between 13 and 15 at the time. The marriage certificate states that she was a spinster of the parish. One of the witnesses was John Morris, the other Geo Yarrow. She did not sign but made her mark. The certificate (no.305 in the parish register) says by banns, and "with consent of" is deleted so she must have been of full age.

NOTE Gerry Lamford says that in 1838 when she had her first child she was at 1 John Street, near London Bridge. There was another Morris family at this address in the 1841 census (and also a Nurthen couple that I do not otherwise know of.

MARRIAGE (1848) based on FreeBMD entry for Charlotte Ford and Samuel Bell. This does not match with the 1851 census entry however. #rd Quarter 1848.

CENSUS 1851 at 12 Daggeth Court, Tower Hamlets, Shoreditch, London, Enumerator 17, page 25, schedule 40 (which includes several families), surname spelled Lamfort, aged 35, a laundress, listed as married not widowed but no husband present.

NOTE In 1858, as she and her new husband were then witnesses at the marriage of Ann Elizabeth.

CENSUS 1871 - same address age 53.

CENSUS 1881 - 25 Finsbury Market (probably the same the earlier 13 South Street due to renaming). Age 62 widow birth place given as Somers Town Middx. (Somerstown is in the Paddington area). There were two male boarders, both horse collar makers, and one Irish remale who was a mantle maker..

CENSUS 1891 - 25 Finsbury Market. Age 74 and a widower. living with her son, but shown as a lodger, with an occupation of saddle sewer.

NOTE the birth place of her first(?) daughter was at 1 John Street, in 1838. Three years later at the 1841 census there were Morrises living there, so it may have been her family home, though the age of the head of the house would make him a older brother not her father, unless he were only 13 when she was born.

NOTE: There are a couple of IGI entries for baptisms of a Charlotte Morris, 1814 at St Sepulchre and 1818 at Sta Saviour,Southwark. Parents are known in these cases, but there is no way of matching these with her, as her parents are not known..

They had the following children:

  F i Ann Elizabeth Lamford-28
