William Morgan 1819

[slowbookworm]

OK Lydbrook church wasnt built until 1850 and I think English Bicknor church would have been used by Lydbrook residents
There in this baptism in English Bicknor
14 Mar 1819 Morgan William
Parents William and Mary, fathers occupation Labourer
Residence is down as Extraparochial which Lydbrook was at the time.

(Parish records from this site- http://www.forest-of-dean.net )

Baptism 14th Mar 1819 Parents William and Mary in English Bicknor.I wouldn't have known about Lydbrook Church so a big thank you for that.
This is my husbands family Morgan ,I have also got Thomas ,Holder and Howells what a nightmare !!!

There are 2 marriages of William Morgan to Mary in English Bicknor
1808 to Mary Stephens
1818 to Mary Morgan

looking at the baptisms between 1808 and 1817 the early ones dont have fathers occupation but in 1815 there is one for Sarah Morgan and Father William is a Farmer. So I think the Mary Morgan marriage is probably the parents of William in 1819. Just what you need another Morgan!

(Will send you PM)

Hi,

Is Morgan a common surname because i have quite a few Morgans in my family tree ranging in birth year from 1925 - 1905, which all of them are from the UK. I was just wondering if our trees may be connected in anyway?

Cheers

Hi,

Morgan is very common in Wales,but mine all come from The Forest of Dean which is Glocestershire on the boarders of Monmouthshire.
