George Morgan 1862 was the brother of my great great grandfather William Morgan. I have some details for him but have not been able to find records of his two marriages.

1881 Census
William MORGAN Head M Male 55 Joy Ford, Gloucester, England Grocers Shop
Tryphina MORGAN Wife M Female 54 Lydbrook, Gloucester, England
George MORGAN Son U Male 19 Lydbrook, Gloucester, England Coal Miner Milson MORGAN Son U Male 16 Reddings, Gloucester, England Coal Miner
Wallace MORGAN Son U Male 11 Reddings, Gloucester, England Scholar
Edith MORGAN Gdaur Female 9 Joys Green, Gloucester, England Scholar

1891 Census
George Morgan Head Male 27 abt 1864 Reddings East Dean Gloucestershire England
Edith Morgan Wife Female 19 abt 1872 Moorwood East Dean Gloucestershire England
Edith Morgan Daughter Female 7 abt 1884 Reddings East Dean Gloucestershire England William Morgan Son Male 5 abt 1886 Reddings East Dean Gloucestershire England
Albert Morgan Son Male 4 abt 1887 Reddings East Dean Gloucestershire England
Harriett Morgan Daughter Female 3 abt 1888 Reddings East Dean Gloucestershire

His wife, Edith Morgan, is Edith Annie. I can't find a record of the marriage in the Parish Records but there is a FreeBMD for a possible marriage.

Jun 1891
Knight Edith Annie Monmouth 11a 74
Morgan George Monmouth 11a 74

However, all of the children are born before 1891 and Edith is only 19 in the 1891 census so there must have been a previous wife. I have found the baptism records for William, Albert and Harriet and their mother is Rosa. I can't find the baptism PR for Edith 1884.

There isn't a PR for a marriage between George and Rosa but I found a FreeBMD record for a marriage.

Dec 1883
KNIGHT Rosanna Monmouth 11a 71
MORGAN George Monmouth 11a 71

This appears to tie in but do I have the correct Rosa Anna/Rosanna/Rosa?

In the 1901 census there are more children.

1901 Census
George Morgan Head 39 abt 1862 Male East Dean Gloucestershire England
Edith A Morgan Wife 29 abt 1872 Female East Dean Gloucestershire England
Edith A Morgan Daughter 17 abt 1884 Female East Dean Gloucestershire England
William Morgan Son 15 abt 1886 Male East Dean Gloucestershire England
Albert Jas Morgan Son 14 abt 1887 Male East Dean Gloucestershire England
Harriett E Morgan Daughter 13 abt 1888 Female East Dean Gloucestershire England
Norah A Morgan Daughter 8 abt 1893 Female East Dean Gloucestershire England
Wilsie T Morgan Daughter 5 abt 1896 Female East Dean Gloucestershire England
Archie E G Morgan Son 9 Months abt 1900 Male East Dean Gloucestershire

There do not appear to be any baptism records for Norah 1893 or Wilsie 1896. I believe there are even more children but am not able to access the 1911 census on Ancestry.

George Morgan was killed in an accident at the Arthur & Edward Colliery in 1916 and I have found the Inquest record.

I would be grateful for any information regarding the two marriages.
