Notes about Gertrude Alice Butler
Alice met Morson, now a widower, and they were married in 1920. In addition to his previous family, Morson and Alice immediately began raising Alice's three children - a son and two daughters: Margaret (Smith) born on July 28, 1914; Jean, born September 22, 1919, and James, born 1916 who drowned in 1928. Together, they also had a daughter, Lillian, who was born May 4, 1921. It is thought that Alice had not been legally divorced from her first husband. She clandestinely left Morson in the night taking their daughter, Lillian, and returned to Newfoundland. On June 9, 1939, Lillian gave birth to a son, Charles Preston Sherren, a grandson Morson never knew. The marriage between Morson and Alice was later annulled.
