Roger Ferdinand Morrison born 20 Oct 1915 Wandsworth, London
« on: Tuesday 23 January 24 12:05 GMT (UK) »
The above married twice, once to Pansy Lily Nichols Q2 1938 at Hendon whom he appears to have divorced and then married Helene M nee Green Morley Q3 1948 at Marylebone. They had 3 children born in Hampstead, Watford and Worthing and they seem to have travelled to Australia 15 Apr 1957 on Orontes but returned 15 Dec 1960. Looks like as his job was a refrigeration engineer he had to travel around! However I don't know what happened to the family after 1960?

Is this the same man? The name and age match.

19 July 1956: West Sussex Gazette
Quote
Roger Ferdinand Morrison (40), the Houseboat Anzac, Lower Beach-rd., Shoreham, was given a conditional discharge to be of good behaviour for a year and ordered to pay 15s, costs for stealing 15s. from a RAF Station at Truleigh HIll, Shoreham, He pleaded not guilty. Chief Insp. Sharp said Morrison had a good character and served as a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy during the war. Morrison was told by Judge Block, "We do not know what could possibly have induced you to behave in this dishonest manner."

Yes, it is him.

West Sussex Electoral Register 1954-55
Lower Beach Road
Morrison, Helene M – M.L 107
Morrison, Roger F – M.L. 107

this is amongst a list of named vessels so I assume that M.L 107 is the houseboat Anzac.
