O'briens and Morgans from Gateshead
« on: Sunday 11 October 15 15:29 BST (UK) »
Hi,

My Great grandparents were O'briens and Morgans who lived in Gateshead although initially came from Ireland.

Does anyone know of these familys please.

Thanks,

Hebe

Do you have any names and dates to get us started?

For example, in the 1901 census there are 61 O'Briens in Gateshead! And 99 Morgans! ;D
And, in 1881 there are 49 O'Briens and 61 Morgans ;D

Scroll to the bottom of the page - ANY RootsChat page!

Under the heading "Your Tools", you will see "Surname Interests".
Click on that to take to RootsChat's own Surnames Interest Table (SIT).

Once there you can check your surnames, and see who else is researching them - Quick Search, then Initial Letter of Surname, then click on the surname of choice.

And you can also add your own interests - then others can find you!

Click on a user name to find the ability to send a Personal Message (PM) - but you need 3 posts to do this.
