Kris,
Thank you so much for all the research you have done on my Morris family. It is much appreciated. You have not only helped me with the Morris's but also relatives in UK and US. Thanks again, Margaret.

Hi Kris,
I'm back again with a couple more questions.
Can you confirm marriage of Albert Charles Edwin to Bertha FAIRBROTHER OR FAIRBOTTOM. Her father's name is given as Fairbottom.
Also, any idea of Edith May Morris' maiden name?
Ellen Morris b1889 did she die early or marry?
Thanks heaps, Margaret.
-
Hi Margaret,
It is FAIRBROTHER - now corrected. Sorry about that. :-[
I did not locate a marriage or a death for Ellen.
I dod not locate the marriage to get Edith's name. Sorry.
You could order one of the childrens birth certificates to find her name (or a transcription) Death Certificate also.

Hi Kris,
Thank you for all your fantastic help. My ft has certainly expanded with all your information and I only discovered last week this branch came to Oz. I will have to order some certificates to get further. Thanks again, Margaret.
