Lulworth Cove, Mervyn O'GORMAN photos?

[KT]

Christine O'Gorman in photos by father, Mervyn O'Gorman.  Want to find what happened to her.  I've asked every online place with the photos but no-one knows anything.  Did she have siblings?  Did she marry? .... 
 Mervyn O'Gorman  died 1958 at Brighton.

Dr. Mervyn Archdall Nott Crawford & wife Sophia Busk, our common ancestor.

Wondered if someone about Lulworth Cove might know something.  I saw it on google satelllite,  It's a beautiful ClamShell Cove   ,  wish I could come see it, but am in California    .

Regards,  Katie

I will ask the Lulworth History Society.

Are these the photos? If so, they are stunning - as is Lulworth Cove. Know it well.

This seems a very well researched family, and you probably have lods of info on them - but for other rootschatters looking in:

What are her dates? When did she go missing, who was her mother - any info useful.  Was she at a boarding school, appear in any census, known addresses?

cover for Elizabeth Knox's Billie's Kiss

i bought it because the photo was a drop down from me - but was pleasantly surprised that it was
a good read too.

Perhaps! If so hands up, 1 am gullible. Just idly scanning throught the times archive, found no mention of a Christina in her fathers many obituries....no mention of family, even though prior to his death he hosted a very large society wedding for a young relative - no Christina amongst the guests either.....no mention of family, just one obit referring to "a very dear companion" who lived with him in his last years. No name or gender? From memory I think he was about 85.

As I said, in earlier post, full details needed. And if this is a joke, well ........
But if its not, there are some leads....

"Billie's Kiss" was set in Scotland. Kissack and Skilling to be precise.

the use of this place for a cover photo was..... odd? a cheap option?

who knows!

Hello Everyone,

YES, the 'Retronaut' photo site. I sent him an email awhile ago asking.  He was nice to answer with no information but would like to hear if I find any.

Google YES, won't let me see these pages, but the same information is in other books Google will let me see.  If yours go back far enough to show -
Rev. Evans at Rostrevor was my 3rd Greatgrandfather, son of Elizabeth Scriven & John Evans.

The novels interesting - (reading addict ) - see if I can find a copy over here 

Lovely to see you all visiting about this, Who knows where a new lead may come from.  I too got a copy  of Mervyns life & obit but as you agree, not the family info that helps find anyone.

Hope your summer's still going strong over there,    Katie

Could you answer the following, as I see you have been trying to solve this problem for some time in other posts on Rootschat:

1. When did you first see these photos?
2. How do you know that they are taken by Mervyn O'Gorman?
3. What documentary evidents exists for Christina o'Gorman, ie birth/paptism certificate?

These are questions which need a response, as there is no mention of a daughter in his obituaries, only a long term companion. PM

I probably 1st saw them a couple of years ago searching online about Mervyn.  Several sites mention or show them.  I've emailed all, museums - gallery's - individuals - blogs,  but no further info.
All the sites credit him as the photographer and girl as his daughter.  His death? bio credits him for being a well known photograher.  I haven't seen any documents for her.
