Clarce was born in Derbyshire in 1897 daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth. By 1911 the family had moved to Oldham, in Lancs, and there in 1920 I believe she married a Willie Morley. The question is when did she die?
I can't find her on the 1939 register and I am sure she did not remarry but can't be certain and I have checked on FMP and she does not seem to have sailed the seas. Any help as always appreciated.

Hi John,
As Dave mentioned, Family Search does have an immigration sailing record, albeit limited in info, which MAY fit Willie and Clarice Christian Morley.
Mr.W. Morley (Engineer)English
Mrs. C.C. Morley (Housewife)English
Departed Southampton 1st March 1922 on board "Pakeha* or Pakela..?? owned by Shaw Savill and Albion Co. Ltd.
bound for Auckland, landing port: LYTTLETON.
Hugh mentioned on the 1946 NZ electoral register, a Roy William and Iris Joan Morley as a possible fit for the above couple's son and daughter in law.
I have not found a death record for Willie or Clarice. C. Morley but there is an obit for Iris Joan Morley who died 15 Jan 2006, Funeral Mass, at St.Thomas More Ch. Wilton, Wellington.NZ.
In the obit (which I found through a BING search but Google probably has it also)Roy William was referred to as the 'late" so, already deceased.
There is also another obit for a son of Roy.W. and Iris Joan, Christopher Gilbert Paul Morley, who died at Wellington Hospital, July 27/2018. this obit gives you the children of Roy William and Iris Joan Morley, which may help.
HAPPY HUNTING:sleuth_or_spy:
Wendy and Anne, thank you very much for your input. Very interesting. I presume when you refer to the family search website you mean the one by the LDS. if that is the case I must have done something wrong as I missed it.
Just for fun, the ship was called the Pakeha; she was built in 1910 by Harland and Wolff, and broken up in 1950 in Wales.
John could find pictures of her online if he's interested by searching for something like Shaw Savill Albion Pakeha
"Pakeha" in my (very old) dictionary means a European person living as a Maori, but it might have a different meaning today or no longer be politically correct.
