Could anyone help me....

My grandmothers aunt was Lavina Ida Morris born abt March 1904 her parents were Samuel Morris and Eliza-annie Griffith.
I have her siblings but i cant seem to find if she married and had children

Was this in Neath?
There is a Lavinia Morris born in 1903 (4th quarter) and another in 1906 (first quarter/end of 1905).
Any idea which is yours?

Edit OK the one born in 1906 died aged 1 so yours was presumably born in 1903?

Yes thats the right family sorry abt not putting the location....

I have 1904 as a rough guess so it could be 1903 depending on the month also.

3 possible marriages ( if she married under her full name)


Marriages Dec 1924
Green Ernest - Morris- Barton I. 8c 982
Morris Ida L - Green - Barton I. 8c 982

a good bet seeing as she was living in Barton on Irwell in 1911
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OR...

Marriages Dec 1938

Best James A- Morris -Nottingham 7b 644
Morris Ida L - Best - Nottingham 7b 644

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the first one was indeed your Lavinia, it looks like she re-married as this record is in both names of Morris and Green


Marriages Sep 1939

Bunn William - Green - Manchester 8d 944
Bunn William -Morris - Manchester 8d 944
Green Ida L - Bunn - Manchester 8d 944

Thank you all

Lavina's sister Gertie was born in 1909 in Patricroft Eccles i cant seem to find a marriage or death for her......

Mike * Report 18 Jul 2012 14:13

Are you sure she was born 1909 ?

There's this one which covers Eccles
Do you know if she had a middle name ?


Births Sep 1908
Morris Gertrude Margaret - Prescot 8b 825



If this is her birth then maybe this is her marriage ( if she stayed in Eccles)

Do you know of any children she had ?

Hi Mike,

I have 1909 as a rough, so it is possible she could of been born in 1908.

I believe her middle name was Muriel but not 100%

I dont know if she had any children or who her husband was

Gertrude's sister Ethal was my Great grandmother who i have only found info on in the last few years

Sammy79 Report 18 Jul 2012 19:24

It might be possible that Gertrude could of been her middle name her first name could of been Muriel......
