Maurice Moorhouse was my dad's (George Stuart Moorhouse) cousin.
Dad was born on 8th January 1911 and passed away on 31st July 1973
Dad's Parents were Joe Moorhouse and Esther
I vaguely remember Maurice’s mother Elsie who lived in Baildon
My mother (Delsie Evelyn Moorhouse) used to receive Christmas Cards from Elsie until the early 1980s

Sorry I have not replied before now Reggie, but I'm having laptop problems !!
I cannot thank you enough for all the information you have given me, it is wonderful. :-D :-D

10 children born in marriage...........3 have died

His wife was Marjorie...who could well have remarried after he died in 1978

There are two marriages in the 1980s one Bradford the other Leeds which I suppose either could be her

Thanks to every one who has replied :-D, that was sooo quick!
jax - I thought Christine was Maurice's wife but my memory could be playing tricks! I do remember they had two children, a boy and a girl. Will follow up your suggestion.
patchem - making a note of this too.
Reggie - My grandfather was Thomas William, my fathers name also. I am hoping to find out what became of the other siblings, especially their time during WW1.
Many thanks to all once again.

If you hope for connections on GR, you need to put your tree on here............deceased people only, unless you have permission of those who are living
