Hello I'm looking to find out more about Margaret Ann and John Morris who lived on the Woodfarm Estate in Oxford in 1951.  (Both now deceased)

I don't know I'm afraid. They were my uncles parents. We know that John worked as a spray painter Margaret was a house wife.

Yes it is possible. Do you have a maiden name for her that may help? X

Did they have any children???

Between 1906 and 1950 there are very many John Morris' who possibly married Margaret Ann

so we need more information to find her maiden name

Children born after 1912 have mother's maiden name given

We know they adopted a child in 1951. But do not know if they had their own children.
Sorry I do is very source I know and Morris is such a popular name. 😁

where did they die???
and roughly when???

If they adopted a child in 1951 then I doubt the Margaret Ann whose death reg I found would be the correct one as she would be aged 61 in 1951 - a little old to be adopting a child ??

Unfortunately all we know about them is they lived in Woodfarm estate in 1951 in Oxford and adopted a 3 year old boy. Sorry it's not much to go on I know. And considering ther are so many marriages between Margaret Ann and John Morris I'm at a dead end.
