Emma Morgan 1845

I would like to hear from anyone who has information about Emma Morgan born 1845, Ruardean. Her parents were John Morgan 1820 and Hester Cowmeadow 1817. I have details for Emma's brother and 2 sisters but have drawn a blank for Emma herself.

Year 1845
Month Mar
Day 30
Parents Surname MORGAN
Child Forenames Emma
Fathers Forenames John
Mothers Forenames Esther
Mothers Surname
Residence Ruardean
Occupation Stone cutter
Officiating Minister Rob W Kyle Officiating Minister
Event Baptism
Memoranda
Notes
Register Reference
Page Number 5
Parish Chapel Bishopswood

1851
John Morgan Head 31 Moorwood Coper East Deane
Esther Morgan Wife 34 Rock Moorwood East Deane
Emma Morgan Daughter 6 Coppser Moorwood E Deane
Henry Morgan Son 5 Coppser Moorwood E Deane

In 1861, I believe that she can be found in Cheltenham, working as a domesetic servant. I have tried to follow up a couple of possible marriages but there is nothing on the 1871 census.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who has been researching this branch of the Morgan family.

I agree (!)

1861
Emma Mordan
[Emma Morgan] abt 1845 Lydbrook, Gloucestershire, England Servant Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Then a possible marriage to explore in 1871

Thomas Haddock or Henry Potter

Name: Emma Morgan
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1869
Registration district: Westbury on Severn
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume Number: 6a

looks like this family :-
1881
Henry Potter abt 1850 Dunsey, Wiltshire, England Head Westbury on Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire
Emma Potter abt 1855 Cinderford, Gloucestershire, England Wife Westbury on Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire

so can discount it

Is the Union Infirmary a hospital?

I have 164 Cowmeadows in my Family Tree, including James Cowmeadow 1769/1821 & Mary Tingle 1789/1852. Neither are related to me but their children lead to Brain & Meek relatives.

I pasted this link in my Family Tree notes field for James Cowmeadow & Mary Tingle :
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=26590.

I tend to follow siblings and parents of spouses and sometimes go too far. In this case I appear to have curbed my researches by noting in the notes field for John Morgan 1820 who married Hester Cowmeadow - Parents John & Hannah.

I also copied the census data posted on this web site for the family, in case they become related rather than connected due to subsequent findings and need to be researched further.

1851
John Morgan abt 1820 Moorwood Coper East Deane Head East Dean, Gloucestershire
Esther Morgan abt 1817 Rock Moorwood East Deane Wife East Dean, Gloucestershire
Emma Morgan abt 1845 Coppser Moorwood E Deane Daughter East Dean, Gloucestershire

Jane A Morgan abt 1856 Moorand East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter East Dean, Gloucestershire
