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
