Dear All
Amy Imber Morgan was born 15th feb 1894 to Bessie Adaline Morgan at Bimport, Shaftesbury, Dorset. In the 1901 census she is aged 7 years living with her mother and grandparents. I have been unable to find any other record of her. Bessie went on to marry Charles Stoodley and in turn had 5 boys & three more daughters.
Any help would be much appreciated as I do not know where to look next.
thanks to all

Dear pauline J
I have checked the 1901 census and I have gone through deaths and marriages at our local resouce centre in Norwich for Births Deaths and Marriages (St Catherines Indexes) for each quarter since 1901 through to 1930 - and unable to see her anywhere.
Thanks

Have you just looked under Morgan? I guess she could have taken her stepfathers name of Stoodley and married/died under that surname

Dear pauline J
If it helps further my Dad who was born in 1924 never knew anything about this first cousin till we saw the 1901 census. He knew his aunt Bessie - Uncle Charles and their children well - the boys worked on the railways at Sparkford apart from the baby boy Douglas Cambriei Stoodley who died about two years old.

An Amy Stoodley (no middle initial) marries a Watkins in Cardiff in Dec qtr 1914
-
And then they had a John H, born JAn/Feb/MAr 1915, in Cardiff ref 11a 1094
But it is doubtful this is her, though certainly possible. You'd need to get marriage cert, I guess.

Also there is an Amy I Morgan marrying in Kensington1918..

Dear Kanskar
Thankyou so much - I will be sending away for these certificates - I can't wait to tell my dad about this cousin that he knew nothing of till we saw the 1901 census!
To think she moved to the Smoke and lived just the other side on London to my dad who lived in Waltham Cross - small world!
Hear from you all

Angel - Did you manage to obtain those certificates ?
-
Dear Kanskar
We have obtained her death certificate - sad to see - to think my dad never knew of her - her son Robert Richard Scruby registered the death - now we need to find him or his decendants. He was living in Chelmsford in 1970.
We need to find these people - it would be very interesting to see if she has the same strong family resemblance of the Morgans. I would dearly love to find a photo of her.
To think she lived all but across the Thames from her cousins aunt and uncle - small world. I had a bit of searching done and I believe her first husband Ebdon Scruby may have married first in the village of Docking in Norfolk. Guess where my husband comes from? Yup Docking - small world!
