My mother and her sisters on the beach around 1925.  Enhancement appreciated.

Have recently found out that the Morgan brothers from Tir Phil, all very good boxers, were cousins of my mother Mother Maud Jenkins (born 1903).

There were at least 6 boys in the family, Danny, Terrence, Jack, Dai, George and Reg.  I have uncovered boxing records and some details of some fights (Danny V Tancy Lee, and George V Billy Rose).

I am trying to find the connection between my mother and the Morgans, i.e. was it through her fathers side, Jenkins, or mothers, Carter.

I know that Danny was born around 1899, but I have been unable to locate the family on either the 1901 or 1911 census.

Anyone out there know the family.

Hi Valda

Have sent for birth and marriage certificates. 

Using the wildcard for spelling variations I have also found Patrick and his wife Elizabeth on the 1891 Census.  Their name was transcribed as "France". 

I also think that I misread the informant on my g grandmothers death. I think it is B Wright (Bridget) and not B Knight.  I have found a marriage for about the right time "1873 St Saviour" between a William Wright and a Bridget Fryer.  I am following this line of thought.

I also believe that I have found Mary Frahor (Frazer).  You gave a possible marriage for Mary to a Thomas Rowland.  Wizzing around the net I came across the birth of a Elizabeth Rowland in 1878 at "37 Gravel Lane".  To much of a coincidence, I followed it through and found that the mother of Elizabeth Rowland was a Mary Fraser.  I am waiting the provider of that information to contact me.

This site is terrific.  On Monday I knew very very little about my grandmothers side of the family and from one posting I have unearthed a treasure.

Thank you Valda and Meliora for opening this up for me.

Best regards and best wishes.
