Dear Robert, Garman Morris was English, probably from East Anglia and although he painted in other parts of the UK, The Southwest, Northeast and N.I., he mainly painted off Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. He may have lived from 1880 to 1950. I will check the next time I go to the family records office in London. It is believed his paintimgs were sold until about 1930 and from about 1890/1900. He exhibited in Exeter in 1906 and in 1907. Some of his paintings were sold as prints and some were made into postcards by CW Faulkner. I have a painting called "Off Lowestoft" and I have seen another picture with the same name, but circular. Many were painted and sold as pairs. I have counted at least 36 paintings from various sites. It is believed he also painted under another name using his initials : G.M. Avondale. Regards, Glen Dryhurst.
My grandfather William Knibb Morris came to Australia in the 1850's. My father Robert Oliver Morris was born in 1880 in Tasmania,Australia.
In the 1920's he travelled to the UK and met up with British family members whose parents had corresponded with WK Morris.He told me that he met Garman Morris.He mentioned that Garman had a sister who also did postcards similar to her brother and called herself Maris to prevent confusion. I would be delighted to hear anything of family history.
