Oliver Morgan (mis-transcribed as Olive on 1871 census) (General)

Hi Carole

Thank you so much for helping put the pieces of this family jigsaw together.

Harriet probably is Eliza's daughter as she was 7 yrs old at the 1881 census which puts her birth around 1874. As Frances died in 1875, this may have been as result of Harriet's birth.

Is Edith your descendant? What was her surname? I didnt see her with William and Eliza on the 1881 census I assume you found her living with her grandparents at that time?

Perhaps you are right about Henry being one month. I couldn't interpret the squiggle after his name on the census and assumed it meant Milson and Henry were twins.

What do you think about my hypothesis that Oliver was not William Morgan's natural son? Have you found any evidence of a previous marriage for Frances Evans? If I am right, it seems that neither you or my husband are biologically related to William Morgan.

Best wishes
