Shropshire / Re: Thomas Morgan born Dawley Magna, Shropshire 1808 or 1809

Thank you.  I watched the video and it's quite enlightening. I had no idea that the Dawley was close to the centre of the industrial revolution and the original Iron Bridge.  Now I need to find out where Thomas Morgan senior was born but I suspect that was somewhere near Bishop's Castle in Montgomeryshire.

Thank you very much for the additional information - most helpful too.  The NZ records have Thomas Morgan listed as a bricklayer, but you have mentioned is occupation as a miner.  They had emmigrated  to NZ in 1841 on the 'Birman'.

I have found a record in the Shropshire archives 5 June 1824 a settlement examination for poor; this is of the family of Thomas and Ann (married in 1808?) I am presuming, parents of the Thomas Morgan who  married Mary Ann Tonks.  They were 'moved' from Bishop's Castle to Castle Caereinion Montgomeryshire.  Have requested a copy of the fiche document.

Hi

I am looking to find the parents of Thomas Morgan who was born in Dawley Magna, Shropshire in 1808 or  29 Jan 1809.  He married Mary Ann Tonks in 1832 and emmigrated to New Zealand in 1841.  There are records of them having children in Biliston. Many thanks Raymond
