World War One / Re: Robert Oliver MORRIS
« on: Tuesday 26 September 17 22:39 BST (UK)  »
 :) can confirm all the research above is correct. There was another newspaper article with a photo of Robert showing his wounds. I no longer have access to that but he lived in Lampeter velfry, Narberth, Pembrokeshire at the time. The article said he was a "local" hero so perhaps you could find which newspapers fit that criteria.
Robert initially enlisted with the Welsh Horse regiment which later was absorbed into the Welsh  Fusiliers.
I have a photo of him in his uniform on a tree on Ancestry. Have no objection to anyone viewing or sharing it.
I'm not good at military stuff or tech, but am told that the uniform was that of the Welsh Horse regiment and his stripes indicate his rank. Not sure if that's of interest to anyone.

No I have one of him in his uniform which I will forward to you. My sister should have the news clippings and photo of his wounds. He was our uncle.
We have another cousin researching also. I've been having a break and had to change my email address.

Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: COMPLETED St Nicholas, Liverpool, PRs, VOSE
« on: Thursday 13 September 12 00:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi the Vose family in Garston where mine they came to Liverpool from  burscough Ormskirk prior to that Rufford prior to which Crossens. Would be great to compare what we have.  For some reason not yet apparent the Vose families tend to travel to St Nicholas church to marry, mine did that they then returned to Burscough had a family and then came to Garston presumably for work. So far have found no reason why they would have come just to marry. Both lived in Burscough, they were both of age, wife was not pregnant ( to my knowledge) so bit of a mystery.

Thank you will just concentrate on her later life in Liverpool, as that seems to make more sense. Xx
