I have Morgan Gibbs 1874 in my family tree, although I am not related to him and therefore not related to you, unless by subsequent relationships. I tend to follow the siblings and parents of spouses and sometimes go too far.

In this case Morgan Gibbs 1874 was the son of George Gibbs & Prudence Harris. Prudence Harris was baptised 10 Feb 1828 Drybrook, daughter of Richard Harris 1792/1875 & Sophia Roberts 1804/1836 **. Prudence Harris married James Collins 1821/1870 at Chistchurch 3 Dec 1848. James Collins died 2 Jun 1870 in an accident at Trafalgar Colliery : James was an Inclineman at Trafalgar Colliery, details of his death are recorded as "In attaching a loaded tram to a set the trigger slipped on a sleeper and the set backed and crushed him to death".

James Collins was the son of Jonathon Collins 1770/1853 & Martha Brakespear 1782/1838.

James Collins & Prudence Harris had 6 children including Sophia Collins 1860/1901 who married my Great Great Uncle George Treherne born 19 Jun 1857, one of the 3 illegitimate children of my Great Great Grandmother Charlotte Treherne 1820/1890 - George committed suicide 11 Mar 1913.

This thread put me in touch with my 3rd cousin Linda Watkins nee Treherne and brought about significant changes to my Family tree.

** I have 363 Roberts in my Family Tree so I would be interested in any information regarding Sophia Roberts 1804 who married Richard Harris 27 Mar 1825 Walford
