Brothers Derek & Bryan Morris

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to trace brothers, Derek Morris (b 1950) and Bryan Morris (b 1953) - both born in Birstall Leicester. Their father was Ronald Morris, born in 1927 and became a University Lecturer. I would be very grateful for any clue as to their current whereabouts. PLEASE

No response to this one in quite long time - so am trying to update it in the hope that someone out there might know something.

They had also a much younger sister, Lynn Morris born in the 1960s. Can anyone tell me about her or her two brothers above?

Have you tried the electoral role ?
Also look in Search Trees at the top of this page.

Thanks - since I cannot find any marriage for Lynn - I presume she is still Morris - but Morris is a very common name - that is why i am trying to keep the link with the brothers .

So far with no results from here.

Lynn was born in Nottingham so the family must have moved.

There are no middles names for these children so they are very hard to trace.

Not seeing a death for their mother, Sylvia H, up to 2005.


She and Ronald were on the 2002 electoral register in Nottingham.

I think I'll have to start to subscribe to Ancestry - can't get access to electoral roles through Genes reunited. Or am I missing something?

I really would very much like to find this family - or perhaps they are three families now. I have found no record of marriages for the brothers or Lynn. But ass we have already said - Morris is a very common name so research is difficult.

I'll have to stop for tonight - past my bedtime. I'll come back to this in the next day or two.
