I took a quick look at FMPast marriages overseas,but didn't see anything.
I guess this is the family in question?

MORGAN, Frederic Head Married M 41 1870 Boot Maker General Dealer Escombe Bf Auckland Co Durham

MORGAN, Beryl Caroline Daughter F 4 1907 Calcutta India Resident
MORGAN, Donald Son M 2 1909 Boundon Bf Auckland Co Durham

A birth certificate for Donald would at least give you Caroline's maiden name.

Hi Stephen,can't find marriage as they may have married in India,they had by 1911 8 children one of which died.

They had Donald age 2 in 1911 born Auckland Durham his birth certificate will have his mums maiden name.

Donald Morgan J.A.S 1908 Auckland Durham V10a P270.

1901 they were inDurham .

Do you have his parents and their children,or do you need them.

Thanks for that. Yes its the right family. I have just found a marriage in Gloucs jun 1894 - It must be the right one,that causes another question if she married here is - Is there an emigration record around that time to India. I believe they returned on the Borneo 31/12/1899.

Nobody outgoing that specifically fits-a few married couples with no ages and no first names...

Mary-yes I think that must be the one -I was trying to check if she was the one born Long Ashton,Somerset 1873 or there is one Caroline Milsom Barton Regis,Gloucs born 1880 but that date doesnt correspond with the 1911 census age-I know they can be wrong. It is possible that was them on the Peshawar. Thank you all for your help.

It also says on 1911 census that caroline was born in Bombay India and frederick would have wrote that,so it should be correct.
Her dad was Richard

I dont think the one in Bristol is mine as yes he was born in Durham. It was a guess but obviously not the right one. Back to the drawing board -Thanks
