Looking for descendants of Owen Wynne Morgan, born Dublin, and Sophia Morgan, nee Powell, born Dunlavin, Ireland. They lived and died in Melbourne
Rodney53
Owen Wynne Morgan was born in Dublin in 1814. Son of Moor and Sarah Morgan.
He married in Dublin (in c 1838) Sophia Powell, who was born 1818 in Dunlavin, Ireland, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Powell, before coming to Victoria, Australia. I wish I knew the details of the ship they sailed.
They had at least 10 children born in Melbourne Australia.
John Lewis 1840-1903, ​married Mary Louisa Lowing
Margaret Mary Morgan 1847-1911 married Bryant Waymouth
Sarah Sophia Morgan 1848-1922 married Henry Owen
William Morgan 1850-1904 married Rebecca Cleland
Emily Alicia Morgan 1854-1865
Moor Morgan 1856-1897
Charles Morgan 1858-1900
Henry Adam Morgan 1860-1912
Owen Orr Morgan 1841-1887 married Ellen Quinlan. Two daughters, Annie Morgan (married John Smith, mother of John Owen Morgan) and Letitia Morgan (who married John McNamara)

Rodney53 on 2015-12-21 00:13:34Thanks, again, Tonkin.
I am sure you are right re the Conway name. I have Sophia Morgan's death certificate and she was indeed Sophia Powell.
Conway may well be another family name, on either the Morgan or Powell side of her family.
BTW, as an aside, my first Ellis ancestor into Australia was one Frances Jane, nee Tonkin, of Cornish descent.
Regards and with thanks.
