YOUR OPINION PLEASE

MY UNCLE 80+YEARS OLD HAS GIVEN ME SUCH DUFF INFO
COST ME LOTS ON TIME AND MONEY,
WELL HE KEPT SAYING YOU FOUND UNCLE MORPH YET
BUT WOULD NEVER SAY WHO HE WAS,
BEING BORED I PICKED ON A PUB LANDLORD RELATED BUT WHO TO,I KNEW HIS WIFE DIED 1950,,
TWIDDLED ABOUT ON FREEBMD/ANCESTRY CAME ACROSS
HENRY FINCH/ ANNIE MORPHEW, (MORPH)
RIGHT AREAS AND TIMESSCALE,SEEMS A LOT OF MY LOT DECAMPED STREATHAM C1930'S FOR BRIGHTON HOVE ALL OVER SUSSEX
AND KENT..........................
NOW DO I GO WITH IT,
OPINIONS PLEASE

Yes I would go with it Diz

Thought about this. If uncle 80+ is talking about Uncle Morph he must be speaking about Annie's Dad or one of her siblings.

If he was talking about henry Finch he would have asked about Uncle Finch. Ask uncle 80+ if he remembers Henry Finch's wife Annie Morphew. That might jog his memory a bit more.

Oh I hope that makes sense.

Henry Finch? BRB

nope I'm over run with Finches but higher up in the country x

Hi Dizzi,
I agree with AuntySherlock.........likely to either on of Annies' siblings or her dad. Or even a cousin of Annies for her fathers side of the family.

I think this is Annies' birth reg

The leader of our local council is a Mr Morphew, Gwen!

At first glance Finch (or Fink {lol} ) seemed such an unusual name but they am everywhere lol x

Well, all Morphews (as first name) seem to be in Kent:
