KEARS and MORGANS
Have just joined the site and have managed to find a lot of family . I am researching the MORGAN family of Bream and Woolaston. Henry Morgan moved to pontypool in the late 1880's and was killed along with his 2 sons in the Llanerch mining disaster of 1890 . My grandmother can remember the name KEAR being in the family somewhere. Have looked at the parish records , there are a lot of Kears who are god parents to Morgan children but I can't find a family connection. would be grateful for any help . Many thanks Freda

Louisa MORGAN 1838 Woolaston / Alvington
Thanks for all the help . It seems the Kears and Morgans were closely linked . They all seemed to head for Pontypool at the same time . A Louisa Kear married an Alexander Morgan in Pontypool in 1915. freda

Hi Freda
Don't know if this is of any use to you, but in my family tree I have a James Morgan c1747 married to a Jane Kear 1747. They had a son Isaac Morgan 1778, Bream, who married a Sarah Kear 1781.
