Hello,
Trying to trace our family tree back from New Zealand. I have gotten as far back as a Morgan Davis who we think came out to NZ on a ship called GANANOQUE in 1860 and who was born in 1840-1841 in Merthyr Tydfil as far as my Grandmother can recall.
I don't have any other information at all.
If anyone can help at all with information or assistance on where I should look then I would greatly appeciate it

Hi Darren, took a look at the 1841 census for you, there is only one Morgan Davis age 1 in Merthyr, but there are several Morgan Davies's around that age, do you have any more info to narrow it down, like name of, siblings or parents, or failing that the names of Morgans children, because Welsh people often named their children after their parents.
Best Wishes Bethan

Hi Bethan,
Thank you so much for helping. I do not have any info on parents or siblings but I do know that his eldest son was named David William Alfred Davies, his second daugther was named Mary Ann Davies and the 4th and youngest child was a boy named Morgan Davies Jnr.
Thats all I have at the moment - any help greatly appreciated.
Darren

Thank you Bethan.
I asked the family and it seems they are not so sure about which boat or year he came over on now.
He did marry in NZ in July 1868 but everything before that now seems open to speculation once again.
Can you perhaps give me a list of the other Morgan Davi(e)s and there families and I could see what names maybe pop up later in our family tree?
Just a thought as I am at a dead end ....
Many Thanks
Darren
