Thanks; I don't think this is the same family in 1841, however. I do think there were possibly two marriages for Edward, but the Drybrook Parish Baptisms, as listed on this site, show Edward and Elizabeth for all children. There is an Edward and Betsy married in 1867 and "Betsy" is listed as the mother on my great grandfather's birth certificate. I've ordered both and they should be here shortly.

I do appreciate all you help! Back to the hunt...

Hi everyone,

I recently tracked my great grandfather to Forest Church. I just wanted to see if there is anyone out there that might have a connection to the family. As with many families at the time, there were many children.

Edward and Elizabeth (Betsy; Waite) Morgan
Children:
Mary Jane b. abt. 1859
Edward b. 1863
George b. 1866
William b. 8 June 1868
Henry b. 1871
Julia Bertha b. 1874
Rosina b. 1874
Alfred b. 1876
Arthur b. 1879

There was also a John and Rebecca in the house in the 1861 census. Except for William, the other dates are from the Drybrook baptisms. They were close to the dates that I had used from the census, so I am using them until I have more confirmation.

I also find a marriage in 1867, which confuses me, but is still worth investigating, so I've ordered the record.

Again, if anyone knows of a connection, I would be very interested. I believe most of the family except William stayed in the UK.

Thank you,
Wendy Morgan
