Help needed to find William CORNISH & Angelina MORGAN
« on: Wednesday 24 January 24 23:54 GMT (UK) »
This couple married at St Woolos, Newport, Mon on 13 July 1841.  I can find no further trace of them.

William was widowed, Angelina was a spinster.  Both made their mark x and the witnesses were Frances Gregory x, and W Jenkins.

I found a baptism for Angelina at St Woolos in 1818, mother Sarah Morgan, father not named.  The marriage cert states the father was John Morgan. I cannot find Angelina in 1841 census.

William was born in Somerset, Nunney in 1809. In 1841, aged 30, he was living in Newport with his widowed sister, Eliza Cowdry, occupation labourer.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

Agnes Elizabeth Cornish b 1849 Clerkenwell mmn Morgan - not found in 1851

We need to know which of their children you are descended from

Hi Everyone

Thank you all so much for your replies.

I am descended from William Cornish's sister Eliza.  He was living with her in 1841 immediately prior to his marriage to Angelina, together with Eliza's daughter who I cannot locate either. I have not found any offspring for William and Angelina in the Monmouthshire records so I will have to look further afield. 

Eliza Cornish married 3 times and I am researching her brother, hoping to fill in some gaps. He had at least one previous wife, possibly 2.

I have restricted my searches to the name Angelina Cornish but I guess she may have also been known as Ann.
