All posted earlier

Sorry Erika but I don't see any previous mention of the 'Albert Leonard' connection ??

Have I missed something here?

Albert William Leonard D qtr 1902 mum nee Ewers West ham 04A 131.


Maryb.

He seems to be down as 'Albert Morgan' in 1911 Maryb??

Thanks,

On page one, Dea - but confirmation is always useful.

For some reason it seems that John Morgan called himself Albert Leonard in 1901 and on the 1902 birth registration.

Apologies Erika - I seem to have missed that one !!

i will take a further look..............

No probs, Dea.

The births of children after Albert are registered as Morgan - obviously something less-than-honest going on. Intriguing................my lot are boringly conventional.

Mine too ;-) :-D :-D

Erika,
I did take notice and yes year doesnt match, thank you for pointing that out, and I'm so confused now lol, looking through everything I'm wrong somewhere, Alma Morgan is my partners great grandfather but searching through all records and census they state his father was John Adderson and haven't a clue where this surname has appeared and why i cannot continue with the Morgan surname. I thought Jane Ewers must of married John Morgan as well as a John Adderson but that seems to be confusing now lol
Thank you for all your help

I've just seen other comments, so Jane ewers did marry at least twice?

Jane Ewers DID marry both men - as I've shown

She must have lied when she married Adderson, as she should have married as Morgan.

Alma Morgan's birth is posted on page one - no confusion there, unless there was more lying by his mother. Get a copy of the cert to see who registered it

John Morgan born 1863 Guildford died 7 August 1903 in Dreadnought Seamans Hospital,it says residence London
He was admitted 4August he was also there earlier in the same year for total of 57 days.I can't make out the illness he was suffering from.

John Morgan born @ 1863 died J/A/S 1903 age 40 in Woolwich V1d P519.

Maryb

The illness he suffered from and died from was 'Morbus Cordis' which is 'Heart Disease'.

Thank you, So with all this information I'm gradually going through, John Morgans mother couldn't be Bridget Brian unless she was in fact 9 years old when she gave birth to him.
