WILLIAM GEORGE BURGESS(born C.1880) married DAISY EMMA SPARROW(1891-1969). lived in1917 @ 32 jackson st, greenwich. Worked in the greenwich arsenal at that time too. They had irene, phyllis, gordon (who emmigrated in the 50's), ernie who was handicapped by epilepsy. And Connie isabel burgess (my gt gran). I cant find their marriage certificate anywhere. And his name is so common that finding his death cert is impossible without buying them all !

WILLIAM JOHN MORRIS (C.1876) married SARAH DAVIES (C.1876) in pengraig, pontypridd, mid glamorgan. Father was JOHN MORRIS. Her father was BENJAMIN DAVIES and married a Rachel. They had rachel, stephen, william (the two boys emmigrated to usa and canada dont know which is which) phyllis may (my gran) and another girl who died young. They moved to doncaster and ran a hotel 1940-43.

I'm especially interested in Stephen and William Morris. I have a photo of william in a uniform - looks like a boat captian but i have no idea when or where it was taken. Says "love to Sadie." Dont know why the family didnt keep in touch and gran got upset when i asked questions, so i stopped. She's now sadly passed.

Thanks for any help you can give even if its family folklaw as i know nothing else about these relatives and every avenue is blocked without any dates etc.
