Hello,
I perk up anytime I see anything related to Morgans from Pontypool I know the name is
very common but my 3xs great grandfather. Thomas Morgan, came from Monmouthshire circa
1840 to Pennsylvania in the US. We have very little on his family except that several of
his neighbors in Pennsylvania were from the Pontypool area. I have wondered with the
timing if my ancestor somehow was a Chartist? It is my hope that one day we will finally
connect to our ancestral Morgans. I will be interested in reading further about these
Morgan ladies.
Regards,
Bev W

Subject: [MON] HIGTON Brothers marry MORGAN Sisters (?) Pontypool. Sep 1936
William Francis Lloyd HIGTON married Catherine Elizabeth MORGAN on 07 Sep 1936 in
Pontypool R.D.
Graham Hutton HIGTON married Phyllis Gertrude MORGAN on 12 Sep 1936 in Pontypool R.D.
William and Graham were the sons of John Henry and Sarah Ann (nee WATKINS) HIGTON. They
had married on 12 Sep 1906 at Penygarn Baptist Chapel, Pontypool.
From available information, Catherine was born on 09 Dec 1912, and Phyllis was born on 20
Oct 1917. Both were born in Rhayader R.D., with mother's maiden name JONES. It is
possible, therefore, that they were sisters.
If so, this somewhat unusual pair of marriages may have been reported in the local
newspapers of the day.
Can anyone help, please?
