Hi all, My late great grandmother was Agnes Esther Watson Scorey born 1890, Southampton, Hampshire. Her parents were Walter Scorey and Beatrice Dyer also born in Southampton.

I know 3 of Agnes's siblings were:
Charles James Walter Scorey - 1882 - believe he emigrated to Townsville, Australia when he was quite young but not sure when so any help there would be great.

Another two siblings I'm having trouble with is
Harry Leonard Scorey - 1898 - Southampton and
Edward A T Scorey - 1900 - Southampton. They are both listed on the 1911 census but after than I cannot find any trace of them, no marriage or death record etc so again any help with these two would be great.
Many thanks, Sarah :-)

Hi All

Thanks for these.
Sorry should have mentioned I do have a copy of the census reports but thankyou anyway.

The 'killed in action' does look like a possible match and definately an avenue I will try to look into further.

Scorey Family - (Southampton - Hampshire)
My Scorey family originated in the New Forest and had come to Southampton by c1805. I am interested in all the families of that name and have lots of information on many of them that I am willing to share. As many moved away from Hampshire I have collected information on them wherever they are found. I have now started a one-name study on the SCOREY surname, and have considerable baptism, marriage & burial indexes, plus entries from civil registration indexes.
Family Surnames: Scorey
