I have a Henry Morgan b.c1840 married to Mary Kear 25.3.1861, at Bream. Witnesses were Charles Morgan and Elizabeth Kear, Henry's father was William and Mary's John. Any connection?

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.

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

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
