Direct answer

• Jane Alice “Jenny” Morris (1861–1935) was the elder daughter of William Morris and Jane Morris. She lived much of her early life under the shadow of her father’s artistic circle and later became a focus of care for her epilepsy, with her mother Jane Morris often acting as her primary caregiver. She died in 1935 in Somerset [see notes and biographical sources below].

Context and background

• Family and life: Jenny Morris was born at the Red House, and she was educated as a young woman but faced severe epilepsy that limited her later life, with her condition shaping household caregiving dynamics for the Morris family. This biographical thread is reflected in several museum and scholarly summaries of the Morris family [biographical summaries and museum notes mention her epilepsy and caregiving role for Jenny; see discussions in heritage and gallery records].

• Public references: The best-known public references to her come from encyclopedia entries, the National Portrait Gallery’s collection notes on Jane Alice Morris, and Morris family histories. These sources emphasize her role as the elder daughter of William and Jane Morris, her health challenges, and her place within the Kelmscott circle's broader cultural milieu [Wikipedia entries and NPG notes discuss her life and caregiving role].
