I'm not even sure if the info I have is right but I've come to a dead end in my family tree. . .

Edith May Morgan 1899-1972 is my great grandmother. As far as I know, her parents were John Morgan & Sarah Price.

It's Sarah Price's family that I am struggling to trace. I believe her parents may have been Samuel & Sarah from the FOD area??

I'm trying to trace my ancestors from the FoD but am stuck.

I'm currently looking into 'Sarah' who I think was born in West Dean circa 1859 and had children with John W Morgan. I can't find evidence of a marriage but have the childrens names: Nellie, Thomas, Ernest, Annie & Edith.

If anyone has any info I'd greatly appreciate it.

My grandmother was Sheila G Harris from FoD and I've discovered that her parents were Hubert Henry Harris (1902-1971) and Edith May Morgan (1899-1972) but am looking to trace more of the Harris family.

Can anyone help?
