« on: Saturday 17 March 12 03:28 GMT (UK) »My mother is unsure of his religion she thinks it may be either Church of England or Methodist.
When they lived on the farm in NSW, they were some distance from any churches but a Catholic priest would drop by every now and again..... sorry about everything being so vague.

Hi Shane
His father Michael Morgan was a Farmer and sorry I gave the wrong name for his mother, it should be Mary Elizabeth Quinn - that's what was on the marriage certificate as opposed to the death certificate that stated her name was just Elizabeth.

Dublin / THOMAS PERCIVAL MORGAN
« on: Thursday 15 March 12 00:37 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information on THOMAS PERCIVAL MORGAN
Born 5 Jan c1900. 1970 Death certificate says he was born in YORKSHIRE.
1930 Marriage certificate says he was born in DUBLIN (marr Eva SLATER)
WW2 Nominal Roll states he was born in Craven Arms, SHROPSHIRE
He lied about his age (upping by 2-3 years) to get into WW1. He lied about his age (lowering it ) to get into WW2.
He emigrated to Australia sometime around 1911 to NSW.
He supposedly had a brother - Arthur - that apparently did not emigrate to Australia with the family. Heresay - had a sister (Ellen/Ellenor??) that died on board ship while emigrating.
It is also believed the parents MICHAEL MORGAN & ELIZABETH QUINN may have returned to the United Kingdom (Engalnd or Ireland).
Thomas was such a story teller, no one really knows the truth...
Any assistance would to great
Thank you

« on: Thursday 15 March 12 00:25 GMT (UK) »Mum told me about the stories that he told about the war and she does believe that he did have medals from the first war... but she does not know who got them. One one of the stories was that he was wounded in the leg in WW1 and apparently patched up and sent back out to fight. When he was finally repatriated back to Australia he supposedly still had a lump of shrapnel still in his calf.

« on: Tuesday 13 March 12 04:07 GMT (UK) »No... that's the bizarre thing. I can not even find an immigration date for either Thomas or his parents Michael & Elizabeth (or Mary Elizabeth) Morgan.
It's like they never existed before coming to Australia. I can not find a departure for Michael & Elizabeth or a death listing.
I don't know what to do anymore.

« on: Sunday 11 March 12 00:08 GMT (UK) »I too saw have seen this public tree but don'[t know where they got from. And maybe this is why I am having so much trouble because I am going what is the death certificate. Eva may not have realised she was giving the name she used when in fact her christened name Mary Elizabeth.
I just don't know whether he gave his correct age when he got back from the was or just lived by one of the fake birth dates.
I know I am not very helpful...sorry...

This has been the hardest line of the family to track down.... so frustrating. Too many embellishments over the years leaving us with very little hard fact to try to follow.
