Hello Lawrence; For the past twelve months I have researched the boxing careers of six Tirphil boys namely Danny, Dai, Jack, Terence, George and Reg Morgan, sons of mountain fighter David George Morgan.  The father was known by the aliases of Dai Rali, Morgan Rali and Boxer Morgan.  I have not found one single report in old archived newspapers of any fight he was involved in so I presume he was never caught in the act.  I wonder if you have come across reference to him.     

Regards
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.

Hello Peter,

Welcome to RootsChat.

I am sorry but this member has stopped replying to his topics on RootsChat since 2014, it is maybe best that you start off a new topic of your own on the subject.

Regards

Sarah

Does anyone have any info on Black Martin Fury the famed bareknuckle boxer? He was a relative on mine but I'm not sure exactly which person he is in the tree as don't know which generation is him of a few people with the same name. I actually have a couple of the thread author's books and his name is mentioned but couldn't find dates, thanks.
