Hi, I am trying to put together a family tree for part of the Marriner family. I am trying to find out the names of the 12 children, and their children. Of the 12 I know one was Mauriri Marriner (1901 -1977).
Are you able to help, or do you know some one who could. Thank you, Lyn Howard, daughter of Isabelle Marriner.

To read them aloud use the aeiou rules and break into syllables
