Thank you all for all this info! I think the death in 1990 of Alice Jessica Kerr is probably correct, the information relating to her parents in Warrington also sounds plausible. Orford Barracks is in Warrington, and if Wyndham Morris was in the army the family may have just been listed as being in army accommodation, rather than a household, in 1911?
Doesn't solve the mystery of where 'Wellington' comes from though! It could be a transcription error, or could it be the groom's mother's maiden name, as Morris is the bride's mother's maiden name?

I have lost the plot.

Gins seems to know something about a marriage that I don't see.

IF this is Alice departing:

?? I do hope someone didn't transcribe Warrington as Wellington.???

Is this not her in 1911?

mgnv - like I mentioned above, they aren't shown in family units so there's nothing further on that 1911 to group them together.

Wyndham and Alice Morris are also listed alone in Orford Barracks.

Maybe someone could post the 1911 for this lass:

MILITARY MORRIS ALICE JESSICA MAUD F 1911 1 MONTH Warrington Lancashire

Presumably, she relates to:

Re: that death notice - I've found a marriage of a Wyndham Morris and Alice Green in Warrington 1906. Seems to tie in with the 1911 where Alice J M is in Orford Barracks with a couple fitting the bill (not shown together as a family, though - the husband, wives and children all seem to have been listed separately).

Someone on Ancestry has been adding to this one. I can't see the details.

If you send for her certificate you would have a better chance of finding her death

Its just guess work really at this point, thats why I posted the 2006 death.

What makes you think she died in the late 1980s and that she married again?


Heres where you can order the birth certificate for £9.25incl

The birth record for Warrington is correct, I don't have the exact date. I've just realised I misread the year of death, it would have been the late 1980's, 1980 is probably a bit too early. Gins, although the death record has the right christian names but in the wrong order, I think this is way too late, but thanks for finding it.
I could ask my half sister, but I've only just found out about her after 55 years, so don't really want to ask about her mum just yet. I was just curious about the Wellington link! Thanks for all your interest.

At the start Mandy said she died about 1980.
Mandy,
Is that definitely around 1980?

This looks like her birth:
Births Jun 1911
Morris Alice J M Warrington 8c 183

Theres this death?

Can you post Alice' full date of birth please

Is your half sister still alive, could you contact her for the details?

I have her daughter's details (she is my half sister) and it was her marriage record that made me think that Alice had married someone called Wellington, because Alice's maiden name was Morris, she married and divorced Stanley North (my father) and I was just wondering where the Wellington came from?
My cousin thinks Alice may have remarried, but is not sure, but this may explain the Wellington connection?

Her daughter married in 1965 CA. Do you have the details, if not I can PM then to you?

The marriage is registered three times, under: North, Morris and Wellington

Hello, I'm trying to confirm that Alice Jessica Maud North married someone with the surname Wellington. She arrived in the US in 1946, aged 35, and was divorced, her maiden name was Morris, and I'm sure she lived in California all her life. I would also like to find records of her death, and that of her spouse. She died around 1980, he died before the early 70's. This is all the information I have. Please advise how I can find out more.
Thank you for reading this.
