Morris who was
« on: Wednesday 06 October 21 12:52 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm looking for descendants of Edward W Morris & Edith Elizabeth Minnie Morris Nee Bonny. From the London areas of Edmonton, Islington, Shoreditch, Hackney & Tottenham. they had five children 4 girls and one son who died in ww2 in the merchant navy.

Edward's father was Sergent Whiton Morris who was a French Polisher. (No Army connection)

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou

There would appear to be a whole line of Sergent Whiton Morris' born between about 1800 and 190.

Which of them would be yours, when/where was Edward born? We need SOME idea of date.

Is this the bride?
Edith Elizabeth M Bonny Birth Registration1896 Islington, London
Edith E M Bonny Marriage1917 Poplar, London. Spouse Morris

Hello PaulineJ

Edward W Morris, 1891 - 1931. mrd 1917,  Edith Elizabeth Minnie Bonny, 1896 - 1938
I appears on their Mrg Vertificate that Edward was a Widower. Possible first wife Anne How/e?
Mrd 1910 known as Annie. whom they had a daughter Violet Ann born 1912, and possibly a Son William S Morris.

His father was Sergent Whitton Morris 1863 - 1931
His Mother was Jessie Pilgrim 1868 - 1903
They had 6 children Edward, Arthur, Jessie, Beatrice & two sons named Sergent but both died within a year of their birth. 1899 & 1902.

i would also like to know if there are any direct descendant of Edward & Edith, as their Grand daughter, Yvonne never knew them as her mother died when she was 18months.
