A letter, dated 13th July 1995, from Mrs. Vivienne Davidson, P.O. Box 149, Donald, Vic. 3480, Australia; to Danny Howell, Warminster:
Dear Mr. Howell,
I am writing to you as a result of purchasing a map – Old Ordnance Survey Map – Warminster 1899.
I was interested to read the information regarding William Frank Morgan who if my family information is correct was the first son of William Morgan and Jane Fookes born May 7th 1835.
William Morgan was the fourth son of John Morgan and Elizabeth Pearce. Their first born John Thomas Morgan married Emma Manley of Pickwick, Wilts.
Which in the end makes my great grandfather, Godfrey Morgan, directly related to William Frank Morgan and I suppose explains my interest in Warminster.
I have tried, through inter-library loan, to obtain your books listed on the back of that map relating to Warminster and have been unable to do so. It appears that the only one available is on the Wylye Valley.
Are they available for purchase? If so – from what publisher and their ISBN Nbrs.
John Thomas Morgan was born in Warminster on August 21, 1789 and died at Weston, Bath, August 8th, 1841. His wife Emma Manley was born June 29, 1799, tenth child of John and Martha Manley. They were married November 26, 1825, at Corsham, Wilts.
I was a member of the Wiltshire Family History Society however received no response to a request re the Morgan family of Warminster. Is there a group dealing only with the Warminster area?
