I think this one is yours - its no relation to mine


McCLAY Lucy Birkenhead 8a 1113
MORTON William Andrew Birkenhead 8a 1113

hi my grandmothers sister married into the morton family in birkenhead but orig from yorkshire has connections with berry ,,east ellis etc if any help

yes, well it is a bit hit and miss, as only about 30% of the WW1 records survived WW2


But the fact that you didn't find him doesn't mean that his records are not amongst the 70% of records that are missing!


The best way is to look on the Medal Rolls, or deaths






sylvia

yes and I can't find him

yes - can't find him

Have you looked at the WW1 records on ancestry?

Can you list his birth details and a census for him?

Rose

thanks Katie I can now put a line through that one

he was my mothers uncle - so my great uncle - my mother did not know he existed so I am fascinated .

I am also doing this on behalf of a few of others in my tree as he to was their great uncle

Can you explain why you are tracking them?

If you can find no trace of them since 1911, how are you related?

Rose

I think that marriage may relate to this lady
1901
PORTER, Edmund Head Married M 67 1834 Brewery Coachman
Codsall Staffordshire
PORTER, Elizabeth Wife Married F 69 1832 Bilston Staffordshire
ILLIDGE, Lucy Daughter Married F 24 1877 Wolverhampton
Staffordshire
ILLIDGE, Alfred Son-In-Law Married M 29 1872 Barman In Spirit Vaults
Wolverhampton Staffordshire

Her husband died in 1907. There don't appear to be any Devon connections.

tried that no success. I have found a William Moreton marrying Lucy Illidge in 1909 in West Derby but I cannot find her birth

Lucinda?

I have eliminated the 1908 marriage posted by Tootyfruity -
I am trying to find out if the name Lucy is short for another name

My other route is to try to find the death of William Morton - I have found one in 1915 in Rochford - but cannot see a reason why William would be in Rochford as its in Essex.

thanks for any help you can give

Avril

Lucy claims to have been married for two years in census 1911.

Have you eliminated the 1908 marriage posted by Tootyfruity which would tie in with this?

Edit: I see a Lucy McClay was born c1880 Tranmere, Cheshire, whereas Lucy Morton claims to have been born c1880 Exeter, Devon, so assume this is why you discounted that marriage.

Edit: have now found William Andrew Morton and Lucy nee McClay living in Birkenhead in census 1911.
