Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 52 Send Message	thanks for all your help but I have all the info you have provided and have hit a brick wall as there is no trace after 1911 census I will keep on trying

	Lucy claims to have been married for two years in census 1911. Have you eliminated the 1908 marriage posted by Tootyfruity which would tie in with this? Edit: I see a Lucy McClay was born c1880 Tranmere, Cheshire, whereas Lucy Morton claims to have been born c1880 Exeter, Devon, so assume this is why you discounted that marriage. Edit: have now found William Andrew Morton and Lucy nee McClay living in Birkenhead in census 1911.

Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 52 Send Message	I have eliminated the 1908 marriage posted by Tootyfruity - I am trying to find out if the name Lucy is short for another name My other route is to try to find the death of William Morton - I have found one in 1915 in Rochford - but cannot see a reason why William would be in Rochford as its in Essex. thanks for any help you can give Avril
