Thomas Morris - Links to Llandeilo & Wellington NZ
« on: Friday 15 December 06 21:33 GMT (UK) »
I work in an office in Rhosmaen Street Llandeilo - this week we have come across a photo in the loft of a gentleman taken in Wellington Christchurch NZ.

It has been signed on the back as 'Yours Faithfully Tho Morris' - I have looked at the 1881 census for Llandeilo and have come across many Morris families in the surrounding streets of Llandeilo town.

Does this information mean anything to anybody researching a Morris family?

What a wonderful find!  Thanks for sharing, rmt11 - and welcome to Rootschat!  :)

It might be worth making a posting on the New Zealand board, in case anyone is unsure where in Wales their rellie came from.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hello again

All you need to do is post a new thread on the board

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,299.0.html

You could either add the photo there or copy and paste the URL for this thread onto the new one.  See if we can entice a few Kiwis into Carmarthenshire!  :)

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Just added a message on the NZ board - it would be nice to identify this gentleman.

Mank thanks once again
