try also  :http://www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com/

and : http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/search_the_archives/will_calendars/wills_search.htm

Wills can provide useful info, if only to rule out a possible ancestor.

There is a manuscript family tree of Morgans in the Blackwood Family history manuscript trees vol 3 page 62-  in the LinenHall library, Belfast.  However this may not be your tree atall.  I suggest visit first, if not you could ask them for photocopying estimates if they think your knowledge relevant and you should be prepared to pay a fee for copying, post and packing, and perhaps some staff time and overheads. However if the material is really relevant when you get it, I suggest a further donation to this unique library that is always needing extra funds Linen Hall Library,17 Donegall Square North, Belfast BT15GB, Northern Ireland, Telephone: +44 (0)28 9032 1707,  Fax: +44 (0)28 9043 8586, Email: <irish.reference[at]linenhall.com>.replace the [AT] with the symbol please
So over to you,lots of luck, Jim
