Are there any death notices for Henry and Rose Morris from 1940 onwards.

I have looked through many sites for death notices for either Henry or his wife Rose Ellen Morris in FMP, Ancestry .com, Find a grave etc all sites suggested to me.

The problem is that there are many Henry and Rose (Ellen) Morris deaths listed with NO information about them apart from possible age at death.  In the 1940 census when they were in the Bronx, both their ages are incorrect and given as both being 70 years..

Henry born I-of-W . UK .  born   11th July 1861. would have been 79 years.

Rose Ellen  born  Plumbley born I-of-W . UK.  25th February 1863 wouls have been 76 years.

On some passenger boat  lists back home for holidays, sometimes their ages were incorrectly recorded.

I was hoping that maybe there was someone who was researching the Boshka family may have knowledge of Henry and Rose Ellen as Henry would have been related to Doris Boshka (now deceased) through her mother Dora  nee Scovell who married a Clifford and who died in Connecticut Valley Hospital.  when Doris was about 16 years.

No one attended the funeral.  A  very sad story which I prefer to keep to myself.

Any further help would be very much appreciated as I have been unsuccessfully trying for several years.
