Could she have remarried?

Jim

Hi Jim
know i dont think so as on her death cert it says widow of malcolm bonner morgan which was my g,father he died in 1918,and she died in 1932

Hi Dutch

Not clear what you mean. Your grandma and grandad divorced, so that is why grandma isn't there? But you expected dad and his mum to be there?

Is that right?

Give us some names and dates, we will have a look.

Hi Dutch,
The surname Morgan sounds Welsh to me, if the family was living in Wales it won't be on the 19111 census.
They haven't put the Welsh counties on yet.

Hi Krissie
this was taken from Harringay London,but my Dads grandfather came from Midlothian Scotland,so the time of the 1911 census there were living at 15.Warham road harringay London,which was the grandparents house

Is this them in 1901?

Helen,yes thats them but in 1904 they were divorced as i have the papers and i know in 1916 bertie my dad went to Australia

your father could have been absent from census simply because he was not home at the time----------night worker perhaps?

basman

could be never thought of that he would have 15yrs old at the time,but it still leaves his mum i cant find her at all,so mybe the same if were ever she was living she not been at home,thank you
Dutch

Hi Dutch,
there is a Bertie Morgan 15yrs. in West ham om the 1911 census, have you checked it out ?

15 years old he would be working by then, so could well be a lodger near his job------or staying with other family.

basman

also have you checked the Helen Morgans? theyre are a couple on there right age, fair enough not in london, but being divorced she may well have moved away-------gone to be a housekeeper perhaps. I've had a couple of widows do that-------took some finding !

basman

Hi Basman
yes i did have alook but dont think it was him as he was called Herbert only got bertie as child,did have alook at his enlistment papers he was apprentice for couple year for firm called j.Rotherham of London,and Helen was living 23 acton st kings cross in 1904
