Did Walter have another name

Hi I recieved some information from a couple of very kind people on here yesterday which has been fantastic, about my grandfathers family. Today I have spoken to my grandfather, but he,s in his 80,s now, and finds it hard to remember things from his childhood. What he did say was that when his mother Emma Morris (nee Hales) died around 1937 ish his father Walter Morris remarried maybe to a Margaret, and there was also maybe another child born. Walter was from West Yorkshire. If this is correct how do I find this family? Lee :)

Hi Pam Im really not sure about another name...sorry, all I have is that he was born in Leeds, his father William maybe was born in Knaresborough, but this also is not 100% Lee

Hiya Sorry about taking ages to reply but this site is really slow for me today. Emma and Walter lived in New Wortley West Yorkshire at the time of Emmas death Lee

Hi Lee Do you know where about Emma's death would be reg and at what age she would of been Once we find a definite death for her we could then look for a marriage for Walter

Hi I think Emma (nee Hales) was about 55-56 ish when she died, she was born in 1881 Lee

Woah strange what you have found, as he says it was a Margaret Cant believe the trouble Im having with my gandparents family, first those Doidges that you was helping me with the other day, and now this!!! Oh yeah, about the Doidge,s, when you found the death of the infant Joan Doidge, I cant find for the life of me a birth for her?? Just gets more strange by the day....:)

Lee Heres Joans birth ref Joan Doidge b Q3 1928 Pontefract 9c 224 Did you look in the Qtrs on Ancestry

Lee If there is another child it is going to take a long time to find them as Morris is a common name. Its 3/4 pages per Qtr

OMG lee and i thought my family was hard to find

so far i've looked 1835 to 41 nothing yet

Hi Julie My mums just been on the phone, and says that she thinks for sure it was a Margaret, and that Margaret had an illigitamate child already called Dolly. When they married they were living in Eastbourne Cresent Pontefract. Also my grandfather has just told her, that, before his mum (Emma nee Hales) Morris died, and maybe before he was born, his father Walter had a child with someone else!!! Lee
