is this it, or am I going in circles?

do not know if she actually claims it, or it is suggested as such in searches.

There was a Sybil Miles living in Kings Weston near Bristol around that time. She was the wife of Philip  Napier Miles, and was born Sybil Marguerite Gonse de Hochepied Larpent in Brighton in 1868. So she would have been a contemporary of Mervyn O'Gorman in Brighton during his childhood.

thats very tantalising. Mervyn didn't spend much time in Brighton as a child, the family were in Warwickshire by April 1873, but the family could easily have kept in touch with their brighton friends...

In the 1871 census Mervyns father Edmond, mother Margaret and half brother Edmond were living at 6 Clifton Terrace.......would you like to live in the house ? You can if you have a spare £300,000 for the one bed maisonette that forms the lower part of that property today !

gorgeous images on it, but no reference to the child in blue with a dog being by O'Gorman.   The same site does have one of the christina garden images on it, credited (sort of) correctly so i think its picking up that tag line and putting it against all the images in google search.  Very nice images though...

the Larpent/Melvill, Sybils parents families, lived at 27 Palmeira Square, Brighton, and the Rasch family lived at 25 Palmeira Sq, so looks possible that Mervyn's wife Florence Rasch and Sybil Larpent/Miles were childhood neighbours.   

Sybil & Phillip Miles lived at Kings Weston House, Bristol, designed by Vanbrugh. Looks gorgeous, and I did look to see if the gardens could be the source of the 'Christina' garden images.  doesn't seem so, but what does eveyone else think ?

I think you have found the Links which attribute the pics. to O'Gorman (page) whereas I linked to the pics. only.

Whilst looking, I found an O'Gorman photograph of Bernard Law Montgomery in the 1930's. a fine photograph.

Have to say it doesn't look like him to me, but certainy intriguing....

do you have a link to the Montgomery photo ?

I'm currently looking at the nieces and great-nieces of Mervyn's wife Florence.  There are several 2nd marriages, and one who ditched her novelist husband and ran off with the chauffuer.  There are candidates in terms of date/age but no-one called Christina has cropped up yet...

The photographs I linked to previously were all accredited to Mervyn O'Gorman. I have no means of verification.

Here's two of him obviously taken by someone else. First is in early RAF uniform and second in Army uniform.

Found Montgomery on another website. This was accredited to Mervyn O'Gorman on original website where I first saw it.

               m 2nd 1917 Percy Charles T Keen (1892-?)
                               ?

So far there are 6 vaguely possible contenders for 'Christina', so if anyone can find any photos of any of them that would be good

I can't find a marriage for either Harry Louis Byas (1869-1921) or Cyril Frederick Byas (1870-1936).  Cyril dies in South Africa in 1936, and both he and his two brothers seem to make regular trips to south africa and rhodesia so its possible that marriages & births happened there.  Harry dies at his mothers house in Bath, sadly from a self inflicted gun shot wound, and the newspaper reports into his death make no mention of a wife or children.  There are reports that Cyril married Violet Wilhelmina Chapman (posssibly Wilhelmina Violet) and had a son, but can't find anything official...can anyone else find anything ?
