morgan/jones family
« on: Saturday 26 November 05 03:35 GMT (UK) »
My great grandmother was Mary Ann Morgan born 25th December 1858=1862  in Aberystwth Cardiganshire Wales  Her father was John Morgan a carpenter and her mother Mary Evans
Mary Ann went to Australia as a young woman and worked as a nanny
She married in Brisbane Australia  on 5th December 1889 a mariner William Jones born 2nd March 1862 in Amlwch Anglesey Wales
She died in Brisbane 8th March 1953 and William in Sydney 23rd February 1939
I have copies of both death certs and their marriage cert

I don't know which ships they came out on or the dates although William's death cert says he spent 51 years in Australia
Would love any information
(Her birth date is uncertain as her marriage cert in 1889 says aged27 but her death in1953 says 93)

Hi Jules,

you don't say what it is you are looking for.

Do you have the census information for Mary Ann and William, or shall we start with this? It should help to narrow down when they left for Australia.

You could then look at the shipping lists and maybe then identify the ship.
