Martha Morris 1841-1925

Born Dublin to William Morris - from her m.c.

No Ancestry tree with her parents

Born Dublin , but a sister, Elizabeth, was born London in 1849 ( Sep 1848 or Sep 1849), so probably arrived in England by 8 years old; but maybe her parents were just in London for a short while and returned to Ireland . Buying these certificates(one at a time) could prove her parents if only one of them had a father William)
