Help please
I'm trying to find Henry Morse, born abt 1829, Bethnal Green. Father William Morse. Married Elizabeth Susannah Goozee 1849, Hackney. Children Henry James Morss 1853, Elizabeth Louisa Morss 1859, William Thomas Morss 1860 and Matilda Harriet Morss 1869.
I cannot find any of them 1841, 1851 or 1861 censii. I have Henry 1871, 1881, 1891 living Brick Lane, A Watchmaker.
On his children's baptism records he was living 1853, I, Lansdown Place, 1858 & 1860 14, Red Lion Street. All Shoreditch/Hackney area.
Henry married Caroline Winder JunQ 1878. I can't find that either
The names are transcribed mistakenly very often. I think this is why I cannot find them. I tried to search Red Lion Street 1861 but couldn't work out how to search just a street.
I'm sure one of you clever people out there can help me again
Thank you Barbara
In 1861 the Humphrey and Ashpole families are at 14 Red Lion St Shoreditch

Thanks again

1841 is a bit hit and miss as I can't find him with a family. There is one in a school and another living on his own, but no way of knowing if either is the right one.
May have found him 1841. Half Nicholas ? St, Bethnal Green. William Morris aged 59 a Watch Finisher. Wife Elizabeth aged 53 A ? Weaver , son Henry aged 13.
Piece: 693
Book: 1
Folio: 59
Page Number: 19
Maybe them.
Thanks for all your help

It's Half Nichol St , and Elizabeth is a weaver ( probably a silk weaver ) There were loads of Silk weavers in that area , You probably know that the area was one of the poorest parts of London
Thanks everyone for all your help. I have him now. Searching for his father William now.
Thanks again
