Hello

I haven't been very up to date with my emails this year and I promised that I would send someone a scan of a death certificate of William Worgan, the son of Richard and R(h)oda (nee Worgan) Worgan. I'm really sorry but I can't remember to whom I should send said certificate but I'm pretty sure that it was someone on this list. Does it ring any bells?

Also,
if anyone has any WORGAN people would they like to send them on to me as, depending on the interest, I am sure that we could tie up a lot of them, particularly in the FOD area.

Thanks a lot,

Liz (nee WORGAN).

Hi Liz

I have a few Worgans in my tree if you would like to contact me on kntaylor@ozemail.com.au.

Cheers Nardia

Hi Liz

Thanks for the offer of help with the Worgan Family
My intrest is Martha Worgan b.1846 Bream.Married Henry Kear in 1869
I can trace the family from there on, so any information on here ancestry
who would be good.
Thank Tony

Hi Tony

I don't have your Martha already, I'm afraid, but how much info have you regarding Martha's parents, have you found her in any census returns, have you got her birth certificate and are you sure of her age?

If not there is a possible birth registration in 1847 and there is a M. Worgan, age 3, daughter, on the 1851 census.

Let me know what you think,

Regards,

Liz

Hi Megan,
Just come across your message, posted some months ago. 'Your' Emma WORGAN is the sister of my g-g-grandfather Richard Thomas WORGAN. I have a very little more information about the family and would love to share!

I read over the list of WORGANs and have a small bit to add.

I have a Worgan branch that lived in the St. Briavel's Common.

My ggg-grandmother was Mary WORGAN who married a Henry LEWIS and had one child (that I know of)
named Sarah Ann. On the 1851 Census George Worgan lived with Mary and Henry. Later the 1881
census listed John WORGAN lived with Henry, Sarah, baby William Taylor Lewis - Mary was
deseased. According to the ages listed on the census records John and George Worgan were twins, and Mary the older sister.

This is all I recall of the top of my head. If anyone is interested in birth/marriage/death years I can
certainly look them up. I am interested in learning where the connection is with the rest of the Worgans in the Forest.

Thank-you very much "Slow Hands"

I really appreciate you taking the time to produce so much information for me to view. I must have recorded the George and John year of birth incorretly from the beginnging. Good to be correct. I do have some names and dates from the Glos. Record Office from two different visits. I hope to fill in some dates and post for viewing.

What is an "Ag Lab"

Is it a labourer of some sort?

Hi Liz

I have only found this site. William is the son of my GGGrandpareants. Their son John Worgan came out to NZ in 1880 with his wife and four children.
Someone was going to send me information about William. Just recently I received the 1861 cenus records which have Richard and Rhoda's children.
Richard (18) Tom (17) John (11) Margaret (10) Ann (4) George (2) William (months).

HI slowhands.

Thanks for the information my Worgan family is certainly growing.
My mother is a Worgan and she is still living at the age of 90.

Janice

I notice above that there are already a couple of NZ connections to the Worgan family. I recently found Worgans in my Hopkins family records:

2 Sarah Hopkins b: 1810 Hewelsfield, Glos.
... +William Worgan b: 1804 Hewelsfield, Glos. m: 01.05.1830 Hewelsfield, Mon.
. 3 Harriet Worgan b: 1836 St Briavels, Glos.
. 3 Ellen Worgan b: 1839 St Briavels, Glos.
. 3 Sarah Worgan b: 1841 St Briavels, Glos.
. 3 Mariah Worgan b: 1843 St Briavels, Glos.
. 3 Jane Etta Worgan b: 1848 St Briavels, Glos.

Sarah Hopkins is a younger sister to my great great grandfather Thomas Hopkins.

If any Worgan connections have other information regarding links to the Hopkins family from Brockweir/Hewelsfield, I would be interested to hear, and share any information that I have.

John Hopkins, NZ.
