GG - that's after DetEcTive's query about whether or not it was Evelyn Morton's son Cyril who died 1914, with Fiddians among the mourners.

What's the cryptic -"is it safe to continue"

Thanks - Dorothy May Carylon & Cyril E Moreton don't appear to have had any children. None showing on FMP or Freebmd.

If its of any interest, according to a letter in Leamington Spa Courier 18 January 1946, Dorothy was still living at 2 Northumberland Road.
The letter was part of a discussion about shortening the length of Sermons to attract the younger person. Despite claiming not to be a member of any particular church, she was against the idea.
“….to be a Christian does cost a lot of effort. ……[unless there is] some sacrifice of our time in order to worship……[it] will not be of much value. “

Yes, I think it's safe to continue!

Is it safe to continue?

There's also this, compiled by the same person:

http://paulfiddian.co.uk/descend.php?personID=I7106&tree=tree1

Unfortunately he hasn't included Cyril in that, nor in the document in the link I gave before.

The main focus is those members of the Fiddian family who became clergymen, so the Mortons only come into it because of Winifred's marriage.

Does it have his marriage?

Yes, that's the correct family.

This pdf ( a Google search result) mentions Winifred Annie's husband and his extended family:

Priest was Rev James Rowland Fiddian born in 1873 at Creswick, Victoria, ... Morton whose father was the Rev Evelyn Howard Morton an Anglican born in.....

Could this be the son of Evelyn Morton who died in 1914?
