Walter Morris -emigrated to Quebec and Alberta
« on: Friday 30 May 14 12:26 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
Just a quick note wondering if anyone can help with any information on Walter Morris, born Alveley Shropshire, United kingdom November 1883
Nicknamed 'Watt', he emigrated to Quebec in 1906, served in the canadian expeditionary force during WW1 and we understand may have later farmed in Drumheller Alberta
Any information would be very much appreciated

There's a possible baptism record in the Shropshire Baptisms for a Walter Morris - 18/11/1883 in Alveley, Shropshire son of Richard & Ann  :)

There's a Richard Morris, a farmer with wife Sarah A (Ann?) in Alveley on both the 1891 and 1901 census.

Lots of children - Robert E, 21, Frederick A 18, Walter 17, Richard J 14, Thomas P 11, Dorothy H 9, Frank W 7, Elsie M 6 & Ethel D 3.
