Thank you for your help.  The story i have managed to find is: The King's Sutton Memorial states: Killed in Action in Hong Kong area 1953 This is probably Able Seaman Reginald G Morris Royal Navy.  RN no. SSX 835915. On 9 September 1953, Motor Launch ML 1323 Tamar was on patrol in the Pearl River off Hong Kong when it was fired on without warning by a Chinese Communist Ship. The ship had a displacement of 46 tons, was 72 feet long, had a crew of 14 and was armed with a 40 mm gun and a 20 mm anti aircraft gun Several of the crew were killed, the roll including: Lieutenant Geoffrey C X MERRIMAN Petty Officer Raymond KEYTE, RN no. JX 795885 Able Seaman Albert C KNIGHT, RN no. SSX 879526 Able Seaman Reginald G MORRIS, RN no. SSX 835915 Able Seaman Wilfred D PARNELL, RN no. SSX 836292 Able Seaman Ralph SHEARMAN, RN no.

Hi Michael This lists those who died but sadly no biog details http://www.naval-history.net/xDKCas1953.htm I found one article in the Times about the incident but no names are mentioned of those killed, I can forward it if required Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > On 9 September 1953, Motor Launch Tamar on patrol in the Pearl River off > Hong Kong was fired on by a Chinese Communist Ship.

On 9 September 1953, Motor Launch Tamar on patrol in the Pearl River off Hong Kong was fired on by a Chinese Communist Ship.   Amongst those killed was Able Seaman Reginald G Morris SSX 835915 and it is possible that he was from King’s Sutton. The name R Morris appears on the War Memorial in the village where it states: Killed in Action in Hong Kong area 1953 Can anyone recall this event please and connect it to Banburyshire?

Francis, Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been away for a few days. Thank you for contribution to my problem but I don't think it is my William. I believe my William's father was James and William had only one brother also called James, who was brought up in Preston Capes in Northamptonshire. Back to the drawing board!!

Does anyone have a copy of the book "Extracts from the diaries of the Rev William Cotton Riseley, vicar of Deddington 1836-1848"? I'm specifically looking for references to the MALINGS family. The online index shows: Page 13 Joseph E, chemist Page 87 Mrs. Samuel Malings, widow Page 114 Samuel Malings Page 130, 138 W Malings, Clifton Page 191 _ Malings, Bicester, lawyer Many thanks Jon Malings County Wexford, Ireland

WOW! I just came on to ask the question, and you have answered it! Herbert Luttley Howse was my great grandfather, and I have a photo of him! So Jane would have been my great-great-great Aunt. Edith would have been my Grandad's cousin. Mystery solved! Thank you one and all. That is one of the quickest answers I have ever had - from anywhere! Ian Hi Ian, Not sure if you want to try working on something else... Jane Howse married Henry Morris Dec Q 1886 Vol 6D in Warwickshire, Warwick District In 1881 Jane Howse b abt 1860 b Spelsbury, was working as a Domestic Servant in Leamington ,Wark In 1871 she was at home with parents John Howse and wife Hannah, along with sisters Marion 21, Harriet 13 and a Herbert L Howse 1 year, listed as grandson If you need this further back, let me know. Denise

Hi Christine, and all my other responders. Thank you. The Spelsbury connection is the most likely, as that is where my grandfather was from. Two sisters fits in with what I know as well. So, she may be related to grandad rather than gran. This is the Howse line, from Spelsbury/Taston. Very interesting indeed. That gives me something to work on in the coming months. Wilfrid Robertson is a long shot, but the spelling is correct, as opposed to the more?usual Wilfred. He was born in 1890's, but do I have an exact d.o.b. at home, so I will look it out. Thank you listers!

Tracing Your Roots -  Episode 2 - Today, 16:30 on BBC Radio 4   http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mg2v2   Sally Magnusson presents the series exploring the practice of researching family history, with the help of resident genealogist Nick Barratt. Lucille White has been trying to get to the bottom of a family that her great, great-grandmother may have been the illegitimate daughter of Louis XVI, but stories handed down from one generation to the next are often history as the teller would like it to have been, not as it really was. Birth, marriage and death certificates may not tell the whole story, so Sally and Nick investigate how to widen the search in order to disentangle myth from truth.   Rgds. Denise Howes
