Joan MORRIS - Query on Joan MORRIS

Also William Joseph Morris does not appear in the 1828 census either (he would have been 1)

Query also on siblings

Clara Morris born 1827 died 1891
Clara Lees - Fielding born 1828 died 1923

Neither appear on the 1828 census - and it is very unlikely that they named a daughter with the same name as a living child.

Grant Morris was born 13 April 1828 (sources attached to the timeline)

his sister Clara Lees - Fielding was born just 2 months earlier on 19 February 1828
