Many thanks for your help. I can now rule out this child. If ok will tell you a bit of a story.
I inherited my Grandmothers photo album. In it were a lot of photos of the family back in England and this is what started me on my road family history over 20yrs ago.
My Grandfather Charles B (Brown) Morris and his brother Fred came out to Australia 1912. I have all this history and history of other children in England except the last lot of photos. These photos presented many, many years of thought of who they were.
I was doing some research for my husband who is Sec/Treas of the New England District Council of RSL Sub-Branches. New South Wales Australia. I
came across a James Morris who enlisted in the Australian Army 4Jan 1916. In his army papers, it stated he was born in Raunds Wellinboro'. Also a letter, dated 22 June 1917, to the Australian Army from his sister, who was residing in Brisbane Aust. I did not know Emma Mary Gadsby(née Morris) was here also. The letter confirms that James was the son of Mrs. H. Brown 44 Thorpe
Street, Raunds. Mary Hannah Morris (mother) was born 1858 in Raunds and lived with Stephen Brown from 1880 until they married in 1898. They had abt 10 children.
I am trying to find out about this James Morris. The photos I have are of James, Gertrude Alice, (née Falliers) his wife whom he married in Richmond Hill, Christchurch 3Jan 1919 (extract of marriage in army papers) and their son Peter James Morris who was born in Bournemouth 20 Sept 1919.
Question 1: could this be Jethro born 1891 Raunds (but why James)
Question 2: when did he come out to Australia 1st time before he joined in Australia.
Question 3: when did James, Gertrude and Peter James come out here.
Any help with this elusive James would be very greatly appreciated.
