Morser Family History

The Champion Families

The following data has been compiled from information given to me by my Aunt, my Uncle, and his cousin (a Champion). Using their data, the 1901 and 1881 censuses, data from freeBMD and data from look-ups from T., a RootsChat member, I have put together the following details.
Please remember, that the earlier data, although it seems a "good fit", has not been verified, and must remain speculative.


We start off with the 1841 census:

As relationships are not given, I'm guessing that John C. is the father of William C. who married Elizabeth.


In the 1851 census:


In the 1861 census, the son, William, has given up farm work and is now a domestic servant.
His wife, Ann (Fisher ?), is deaf.


In the 1871 census William, is now a brewer's drayman and has a family:


By 1881, William has died, and Ann is working as a laundress, to support herself and the children. The boarder is also a help for the family finances.

George Champion (1869) married Sarah Norton

And this looks like George and Sarah in the 1901 Census:

---

Their daughter, Muriel, (Mariel !) Champion married Harry Morser;

---

and the son, George Champion married Vera Victoria Varney (b. 1901).

Unfortunately, Vera was born shortly after the 1901 Census, so we although we know her father's name, Henry Varney, we don't know enough to find her family on the 1901 census.

Updated: 05.04.2008: We now have some more information about the Varney Family

The Fisher Families

There is a marriage entry at freeBMD for Ann Fisher and William Champion in 1860. No certificates (i.e. no proof !) but this looks like Ann Fisher and her family in 1841 and 1851:

10 years later, Ann is working in the kitchens at Marlborough College.
