Member Since: January 2011 Posts: 191 Send Message	thanks Rose No, he had no middle initial. I saw this one above too, for Lily E, but no marriage for it. Though it's possible they were married in Manchester ( and that Lily was born there too)....though I didn't find a marriage for a Morris and Davies there either. Not looking good. :-(

Member Since: January 2011 Posts: 191 Send Message	ps- why did I search 1925 - 1935? Well my Mum thinks he got married somewhere in this period, and also says that Lily was " a good few years" older than her, and my Mum was born in 1940.

Member Since: January 2011 Posts: 191 Send Message	I have made progress on most of my tree, but my Mum's long lost cousin Lily is eluding us. Her fathers name was Thomas Morris, born 1910. We don't know the name of her mother.... This made my search difficult, but I looked for all marriages for Morris in Manchester North and South districts between 1925 and 1935, also Conway in Wales for this period, as it seems Tom went to work there and possibly even married there. I noted all maiden names for women who married Thomas Morriss's for the period 1925 - 1935 , then I did a search on all births for a Lilian Morris, for the same period, hoping that one of the women's maiden names would match, and we would have the right Lily and also her mother. But she hasn't turned up in the Free BMD and lancashire BMD searches I've done so far, or in here.... this is the one big missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle , and we'd love to find her. Can anyone help? Thanks again..
