Hello, i am trying on behalf of my friend without a computor, to trace his father. The info i have is as follows and may not be exactly accurate. James Robert Bullimore, Born 9th Feb C1919 we believe in ?Welsham Norfolk England. He apparently was orphaned and went to a 'shipping school' (whatever that is) in the ?Blyth Northumberland area. Apparently he was in the merchant Navy and sailed to Australia where he then moved too, and married Betty Joy Morley. Please can anyone help as i'm not having much luck..thank you

Thank you all for your ongoing help, i was told it was a tricky one...sorry i disappeared last night i had a sudden migraine and have just got up again...boy they are no fun!
my understanding is that he was born Norfolk, movedwhen orphaned to 'shipping school' and then joined merchant Navy and emigrated at about? aged 20-25, married in australia...all dates are rough though
Grateful for any ongoing help...thank you mgnv will check that out

hi Rose
does this lead you think that the 5 yr old Jimmy M is in fact James Robert?

There's this death but the age is out.

Deaths Sep 1912
Bullimore Gertrude 45 Smallburgh 4b 64

I checked the 1911 and there are no other Gertrude Bullimores that could fit so it appears it could be James' mother.

I think the typed GRO images have a lot of errors. Certainly do with my family anyway.
