Hello
I'm unsure of where to put this, please feel free to move if you think its better suited else where. I opted for here simply because the last trace I can find is in New York.
I am hoping someone can help me solve this mystery. This is what I have so far :
Barbara Hillhouse Frost MACKENZIE was born c 1900 in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland to James Hillhouse MacKENZIE and Annie STUART.
On the 25.05.1922 she married John Abbiss MORRIS in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland. Her 1st marriage his 3rd.
They had two children : Vivian Mackenzie MORRIS 1923 and Cyril James MORRIS 1927. Both born in Scotland.
On the 5th of August 1927 the arrived in New York aboard the SS George Washington. This is the last reference to the family all together I can find. I have John A MORRIS and the two children on the 1930 census in Cook County, ILLINOIS but there is no sign of Barbara. John has put his status as married not widowed so I presume she is still alive at this point.
John Abbiss MORRIS married Kathleen BURFORD on the 1st of September 1932 so I can only assume Barbara divorced him or died but I can find no record of either.
I have Vivians Obituary and it lists Katheen BURFORD as her mother not Barbara Hillhouse Frost MacKENZIE
Can anyone solve the mystery of what became of Barbara, I'd really like to know what happened to her.
thanks for reading
