*********************************
I am trying to locate details of the life of Theodosia Morgan whose death record appears above.
I am hoping for some help in discovering if:
her maiden name was Belcher or Belchere?
she was related to the Captain R.T. Belcher of the Bandon Railway Company in Cork?
she was the wife of Thomas Morgan? (And if so, was he an engineer? the son of Rev. Moore Morgan of Dunlavin?)
had any children?
is buried alone or with others, somewhere in the Cork area?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Wonder if Theodosia was related to well-known Belcher family-

Cork Examiner Cork, Republic of Ireland
4 Jun 1849
DEATHS. l f r 54, Grand Parade, June 2nd, Elitaheth, relict the late Mr. Moore Morgan, of this city.
******
I have recently found this little piece from a newspaper, Moore (dec.) and Elizabeth Morgan.
Thomas Morgan's marriage record names his father as Moore Morgan.
Does anyone know about Moore and Elizabeth Morgan?
It is interesting, if not significant that they lived in Grand parade, as did Thomas and his wife Theodosia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
