If Joseph was born in 1917 then Arthur cannot be her brother??

Thank you so much for all your help with this. You are doing a marvelous job.

I looked to see if there was a birth for a Peggy Morrison in Sep. Quarter 1916 and there was with mother's maiden name of Salter. She was born in Kensington.

Rose that could be him. Not sure why he was in Salisbury though. Unless Caroline was living there and he was with her.

thanks again for your help

Thanks for that Rose

Perhaps his name was John Morrison.

I am going to have a look to see if I can find a death entry in our local paper. So If I can find his death it will be a good starting point.

Thanks for your help

There is a very slim chance of sucess here but I would like to gvie it a go. My friend has been asked to try and track down this lady called Caroline ? AlI we know about her is that she is the cousin of a lady called Peggy Hilda Morrison. Peggy lived with her brother Arthur John Morrison in Gosport Hants. Peggy died a couple of years ago in Gosport and Arthur died around 2002 in Gosport. Caroline was their next of kin.

It is thought Caroline came from London or surrey district and she married a man called Edward. Caroline's maiden name could be Morrison.

Could anyone see if they can find Peggy or Arthurs death in Gosport. They both would be in their 80's I think.

Also any other suggestions on how I could track this Caroline down. I havent really got enough to go on to put a trying to find thread on.


Thank you very much for your help
