Esta Report 10 Apr 2006 18:52

I am looking for the birth of GEORGE MORRIS I have been going through the BMD images to find the births for my Dad and his siblings. I have found everyone except George. I'm looking GEORGE MORRIS mothers maiden name is GIRLING. parents married 1931. Dorothy Morris Dec Q 1933 ( Llanelly) Harold Morris Dec Q 1936 ( Llanelly) Gwyneth Morris Jun Q 1938 ( Llanelly) ' John Morris Jun Q 1941 ( Bathavon ) George was younger than my Dad ( 1941 ) Possibly older than Harold but not sure. George died in his 30's shortly after marrying and before I can start to look for these I need to know when he was born. I've been looking at the index all afternoon for various records so must have missed it - is anyone willing to have another look for me ?...I'd be really grateful as I'm starting to go cross-eyed !!

Esta I'm confused, if George was younger than your Dad he would have been born after 1941 Do you mean George was older than your Dad but younger than Harold? Linda

Esta My sisters, sister in Law was born in 1941, and IS NOT on the Idexes, something to do with the war years I'm afraid, so they reckon?although 99% of BMD did get registered that 1% keeps popping up and is a damn nuisance. Funny thing is or Luckily, she actually has her original Birth certificate. Carrie

I 'll volunteer to have a look as Linda has stated though, it's a bit confusing about the older - younger bit can you confirm and perhaps we could each take a year to look through. Pen x

Penelope Have looked from 1942 through to and including 1945. Shall we go backwards? I'll take the odd if you like Linda

Penelope

Penelope Report 10 Apr 2006 20:14

I just checked 1931 while I was waiting (just in case they were naughty-or quick off the mark). No joy though.

Penelope

Penelope Report 10 Apr 2006 20:45

Ohhh........I'm really really sorry - My Dad is the youngest .....I meant that george was older.....SORRY. ( and I thought I'd typed it really carefully so as not to confuse anyone ) I'm really grateful to all of you trying to help........George is the only one left that I have to sort out...I just wanted to find birth before I try his Marriage and death ESta x

Are there any years going spare? There don't seem to be many quarters missing.

Penelope

Penelope Report 10 Apr 2006 20:51

Hi Esta - so you reckon about 1936 - 1939?

Penelope

Penelope Report 10 Apr 2006 20:53

Hi Chrissie, I have to pop off soon - would you check 1936 for all Morris's, working on the basis that George was a middle name. cheers xxxx
