When did you last hear of her?

When your uncle and aunt died, did she attend the funeral, or put notices in the papers etc, possibly with a married name?

I can't see a marriage to match what you have posted

..........nor is there any birth in Northumberland for an Ivy Morton

Who was your father?

When and where was he born?

EDIT:

Was he Henry W?

Were you born in Swansea?
