Thanks a million, Sue. This is a fantastic contribution.

Will go to the cemetery over the break and find these graves.

My last attempt failed  :(

Hello to all who have contributed to my search here.
Your leads have moved this search forward.
There is now some reason to believe the ship was named "Westminster" which sailed from England, not Dublin. This is mentioned in his obituary.
There is also reason to believe that Owen Morgan was born in Co. Wicklow rather than Dublin. Trinity College Dublin records state this. Have yet to discover what was his area of study and whether his course was completed.
Sophia Powell, his wife, continues to elude discovery in the Irish records. She appears often in Australian records.
Owen Morgan's parents, the Rev. Moore Morgan and his wife Margaret (nee Conway) are buried in Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow. Owen may well have been born in Dunlavin, though this is unconfirmed as yet.
All good wishes and many thanks again. I am very grateful.

Hi
 Onboard the Westminster in 1839 are James and Mary Powell  may be worth checking.


 May be  relatives  of Sophia or assumed names of Owen and Sophia.
