Morgan's in Lambton, Ontario

[aidansrest]

Hi,
My ggg uncle, George Morgan, born in 1817 emigrated to Canada with his family around 1849. He was born in Coleford, Gloucester to James and Ann Morgan.  His wife was Mary Ann (nee Worgan) and his children included:Leah, Lydia, Benjamin - all born in Coleford, Glo, England. Whilst living in Canada, Alfred, Alice and Fanny were born.
I already have lots of information on the family and I know that George was a farmer, however, his brother, James, may of gone out with him.  I have found a James on a Canadian census report, a farmer from England living in Lambton but I can get no more information about him.  He may of taken a wife with him, Ann (nee Tippens) and perhaps had children - I don't know.
He was born in 1811 in Coleford, Gloucester.

Any help would be appreciated,

Sue

Hi Sue,

I found a death for a James Morgan born about 1815 England & dies Apr 17 1874 in Lambton of pneumonia. The register doesn't give any other namesor details.
Do you have an approximate year of birth for Ann Tippens?

Cordially,
Lisa

This is a horrible copy of the book, but with some patience,  you should be able to read about the family.

The PDF copy of the book "Commemorative biographical record of the county of Lambton, Ontario" located at  http://www.archive.org/details/recordlambton00beeruoft
that I mentioned previously is slow loading, but worth the wait as it is a much cleaner copy of the book. Lots of mention of this family. It also looks as though James lived in Lambton as well. (located on Page 583 of the actual book, but go to page 691 of the PDF file.)
