Hello List,
I am new to Welsh research, but have been doing my family tree for a number of years.
I would like to find out what, if any, resources are available online to help me in my
search of Ann MORGAN.
This week I found out that this lady married into my family. Ann MORGAN was tried at the
Radnor Quarter Sessions on 18 April 1828 for the theft of a watch (although she had two
prior offences), and was sentenced to a term of 7 years in New South Wales.
Ann MORGAN was on board the "Princess Royal", which departed 6 January 1829, and
arrived in New South Wales on 9 May 1829. I have no idea if she spent the time
difference between her conviction and sailing on board one of the hulks, or in a gaol.
From her convict records, Ann was 19 years old in 1829, and her death
record shows she was 42 years old in 1852. So it seems Ann MORGAN was born around 1810,
and was a native of Radnorshire. The only Ann MORGAN listed on the IGI around this time
was baptised in 1813 in Llanbadarnfawr.
I would like to find out a bit more about Ann MORGAN if possible. The records in
Australia have no more information on her beginnings, so I have no idea where she came
from, who or parents were, or anything else. If anyone can suggest a few websites for me
to explore, or if Ann MORGAN is on their tree, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Many thanks, fingers crossed I can learn a bit more about Ann.
Cheers
Trish
