General Notes: Husband - John (Downing) Morritt

---

John was baptised under the surname Morritt without any mention of Downing in his name and is the illegitimate son of Ann (Nancy) Morritt, father's name not listed. Though listed in the censuses as John Morritt Downing, his marriage details cite his true name, i.e. John Morritt; his four sons also have their births registered under the surname Morritt..[JDB]
