George Morgan (1800 look up please)
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 21:42 BST (UK) »
Hi,  I have a George Morgan born abt 1800 in Bristol, Gloucestershire and need to find who his parents were.

Info that i have so far is as follows:

Married to Sarah (could be Plumstead, Kent, England in 1822)

They had the following children, all born in Minster in Sheppey, Kent, England 

Sarah Morgan F 1825 in Deptford, Kent     
William Morgan M 29 MAY 1828 in Deptford, Kent, England     
Henry Morgan M 1833 in Stoke Damerel, Devon, England     
Richard Morgan M 1836 in Kent     
Rebecca Morgan F 1837 in Deptford, Kent

I think Sarah's last name was cooper but not able to confirm this yet.

Any help would be really appreciated :-)

Hi Dave,

As you can imagine there are quite a few baptisms for George Morgans but this is the only one I can find for 1800:-

George Morgan - 6th April 1800 at St Augustine, Bristol
Parents - William & Rebecca of Limekiln Lane

Hi Sue, thanks for the lookup - i suspect this is correct looking at George's childrens names (oddly enough - unbeknown to me i have carried on this naming tradition with a Daughter called Morgan and another Called Rebecca) :-)

May i ask where you sourced this as I couldn't find anything on latterdaysaints

Hi Dave,

I have a lot of handwritten transcriptions of Bristol Parishes which were sent to me by a lady I helped with various Glos research last year  Smiley  Here are are the rest of the baptisms that I found of children born to William & Rebecca:-

Mary Morgan - 3rd October 1802 at St Augustine
Hannah Morgan - 17th February 1805 at St Augustine
William Morgan - 11th January 1807 at St Augustine
Rebecca Morgan - 1st October 1809 at St Augustine

Hi Sue, are those records publicly available or are you happy for me to keep asking you to look things up?

Williams wife 'Rebecca' - do your records show her last name?  If so, is it 'Hicks'?

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Sorry, I`ve been looking to see if I can find a marriage.  There`s no mention of Rebecca`s maiden name in the baptism listings and this is the best I can come up with for a marriage  Huh

William Morgan (of this parish) & Rebecca Gage (of this parish)
20th February 1797 at Clifton, Bristol

I looked at marriages for the only two Rebecca Hicks listed but neither married a William Morgan, unless of course they married elsewhere  Huh

I would imagine that at least some of the resources I have might be available by now as I have no idea of how old they are.  I suggest you try www.bafhs.org.uk and see what they have  Smiley  I`m more than happy to do look-ups for you if you have no luck with bafhs  Grin

You did not say where your George Morgan info. came from but the use of, "abt" tells me it was from a submitted entry in the IGI so you must be wary of it.

The LDS have various formulae for estimating births and your G.M's birth location and date may have been guessed from census info. rather than being found in church records.  The important thing to the LDS is that he lived - where and when are of no real importance.

You will find in the LDS library catalogue that the LDS has filmed the Bishop's transcripts of St Augustine the Less for the years 1663 to 1868 and the baptism you've been given should be in Items 3 - 4 of film 1595530.

The film notes for the above film do not indicate any missing years so why the LDS has not extracted all the data from it is a real mystery. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm for batch info.

If you can get to an LDS church FHC you will be able to hire and search it or any of the millions of LDS  films.  Regarding missing years being quoted, I speak from experience of searching 44 films of church records.

Regards
