Hi, I am looking for any leads to this family, Joan was my cousin although I never met her.
Her parents
Horace Burgess b 1905 Birmingham
May Morris b1908 Birmingham
I believe the family moved to Kent to open a B&B possibly in Margate, I would love to find any family we have down there.
I am the daughter of May's youngest brother Walter Wentworth Morris.

Hello Jax, It could be him but I know so little about this bit of the family. I never met any of them. My Dad never travelled down to Kent that I can remember so maybe he lost contact with his sister.
I thought I might be able to get contact with their daughter or Grandchildren

Have you checked in 'search trees' on here?

(EDIT: Seems not - as there are at least two members who have Joan in a GR tree)

Are you aware of Joan's elder brother?

Hi Reggie, We have seen the birth for Thomas E Burgess but had no idea if he is ours as my father and my cousins never said anything about Joan Having a sibling. I have see the tree with Joan in them and have sent a message to the tree owner
