I'm looking for family of Thomas G Morrison born 1918 Hertfordshire, UK. Known to his family as 'Son', mother was Emily (nee Cox), his father was Australian, killed in 1st WW whilst she was pregnant with Thomas. He married Dorothy Howarth from Brighton in 1939 and they possibly had son Derek born 1941. They emigrated from UK to Canada somewhere between 1945-1955. My father Les Swain is his half brother, and lost touch after the 2nd WW. He is 90 now and would be glad to know about the family in Canada. Thank you, Virginia.

Also searched passenger lists for emigrations to Canada but no luck there either, so hit a dead end!

We think they were traced to Canada in 1961 about a will, but I am not certain and no idea if they came back....not a lot to go on, I know!!
