Linda Report 29 Oct 2009 09:08

Hi, I need your help please in finding info on my Aunt,Joyce M Morgan, born Bristol 1930, my mother told me Aunt Joyce had been married a few times, but the only one I knew of was Charlie Thompson of which they had a daughter Denise (b around 1949/50) they lived in the London area.
Apparently I do not know if this was her first marriage or second, but I believe she then married yet again??? Unfortunatly my mother has passsed away and there is no living relatives to ask.If any one can find any details of her marriages or death, or any info on the missing Charlie and Denise it would be appreciated,

Only one Denise Thompson with MMN Morgan......birth reg'd in Worksop district in 1947, which would make the mother only 16

If you think this may be your relation, let me know, and I'll PM details to you

I know frustrating Isnt it, This is why I assume this must be her second marriage so she goes by her first married name, but I cant seem to find any marriages for Charlie either!!

Born 1930, there's no way that any 'marriage' producing a child in 1947 could have been her second...............

Linda Report 29 Oct 2009 09:31

You are right F, she would only have been 17, did she marry him???? I didnt pick up on that, been trying to find too long now,LOL

And it seems the marriage you found must be hers and she wasn`t Joyce but Florence Joyce,? Thankyou so much.....................

Just re run the name and pulled the right one under Florence, and she was actually born in 1927 in bedwelty,wales............I was totally on the wrong track

Why would she change from Joyce M to Florence J?

Her birth is registered as Joyce M

What was her mother's maiden name?

The ones in wales are the right ones F and it looks like they all took on thier middle names Doreen was Lilian D, Denis was william D(they had moved to yorkshire by then), so who do the other Daunton`s belong too???? Sister perhaps??? i will keep the details and research further, thankyou so much for all your help, much appreciated

The others may belong to someone whose maiden name was Daunton, but who had married more than once, in which case her second marriage would be under her first married surname.
