Yes, this is the family that I have been pursuing. Hester was my great grandmother. I still have her card sent for my first birthday. She had a terrible life according to the certificates I have sent for. I still think that the jury is out whether William Morgan was her father. He certainly appears to have been there for her during all her troubles.

Olive is a real surprise but william and Edith are as I expected. I wonder when William married Frances as we must now call her not Fanny? I have wondered whether William and Eliza Ann were cousins but cannot prove the link.They married on Christmas Day. Would this have been because it was a guaranteed holiday?

For interest,to my knowledge William's last child was stillborn in 1897. It killed Eliza.

Many thanks again.
