Looking for information on Harald Morris born 1896 his mother was Elizebeth Smith from Gorton in Lancashire Elizebeth married Charles Eckley there was four children the family moved to Grimsby Harold was killed in action in 1917.
 
Living in Blackpool in 1901 with parents John Morris b1863 in Bham and Elizabeth. 2 brothers, Ernest and Albert, and a sister, Ellen. John is listed as an iron bridge riveter.

Harold and Ellen are with Charles and Elizabeth listed as Eckley (though Charles and Elizabeth didn't marry until 1916) with 2 half brothers and a half sisters.

Thankyou for the information did John Morris die? One of Charles and Elizabeth's sons was Charles Arthur Eckley b1906 in Stratford on Avon, who married my grandmother (widow previously married to Joseph Sanders) in 1946. The family had made there way to Grimsby where Frank b1908 and Minnie b1910 where born.
 
Difficult to say, there's a death registered Bham in 1902 for a John Morris of about the right age but the name's too common to be certain that it is him and as they have moved around a bit he could have died anywhere.

There's possibly a fourth child, Bessie, b1913.
