Notes about Morson Walter Sherren

Morson's occupation is noted on the certificate of marriage with his second wife, Alice Butler, as a sailor. However, it is also known that he worked as a carpenter most of his life. He settled in Charlottetown where he continued this craft. Later in life he also worked at the Falconwood Hospital as a nurse. He was considered a very handsome man and a very accomplished violinist, having had taught others, including his son Stanley and the entertainer Percy Groom... While researching this piece, I came across the death certificate of Morson who died on December 19, 1945. This document has his name listed as "Wallace" Morson Sherren (Sailor) who died at the age of 60. Also on this certificate is the signature of Roy Sherren (20 years old) beside the word "return". A pencilled in number on both this document and the certificate of his marriage to Alice Butler, which has his name as Morson "Wallace" Sherren, is "653-945". It is thought that it may be an I.D. number which he used in the Merchant Marines. [notes from Joseph's book]
