MORSE and SPARROW families living in Wigpool (General)

by garyrestall, Tuesday, August 16, 2011, 20:06 (4608 days ago)

Would be interested in chatting with anyone who might have information on Families living in Wigpool, in particular the Morse family . My grandmother will be 100 at the end of August and grew up at Bailey Point Cottage in Wigpool. Her name is Barbara Sparrow, her mother's name was Eunice Augusta Sparrow, nee Morse. Good genes in the Forest because Eunice lived until she was 95.

Would love to find out more about the family, jobs etc.

wonder if anyone might be able to help.

My grandmother will not talk about the past and will not budge.

Best regards

Gary

Hi, I have just found your post. I too am interested in the Morse family of Wigpool. Eunice/Uness Morse was the sister of my grandmother Eugenia Morse, who married and lived in Bristol. If you are still interested, I may have some family photos, but not much information about Wigpool except I remember visiting Thomas George Morse the younger, brother of Eunice.

Hello Richard. I’m not sure where to send them, being a forum, but I have photos of Thomas George Morse the elder and younger(and his bike), Eugenia and one of her sisters. Also some mining groups. They were passed down to my aunt Ethel, one of Eugenia’s 6 children in Bristol.
