Elizabeth Morley was an illegitimate child baptized on 14 July 1839 in St. Peter's church in Bolton-le-Moors, whose mother was Rachel Morley (1821-1861). This is before Rachel Morley married Alexander Whittle (1818-1853) in 1840 in the same church. It is possible that Alexander Whittle was the father, but he was not named in this record.
Elizabeth Morley (Whittle) (Ray) Swerer (1839-1912) married twice - first to William B. Ray in 1855, and second to William Swerer in 1863 in Tuolumne County, California. She is the sister of Jane (Whittle) McKnew (1847-1921), who married Elijah McKnew (1837-1912) in 1865 in Tuolumne County, and settled in San Francisco. Elijah and Jane (Whittle) McKnew are my wife Linda's great-grandparents.
