immigration into usa from wales

[osprey]

I can see a family that seems to fit for Daniel, but he was born in Anglesey, not Carmarthenshire. There's quite a distance in between & wouldn't be an easy, or a very likely, journey.

thanks for info. there are two daniel morgans they are father and son. son stayed in wales and father emigrated to usa. my husband is daniel the sons grandson his mother is annellen morgan who emigrated to australia in 1920. all the family seemed to live in llangefni wales. daniel the sons d-i-l and her 2 children still live there.
i am interested in anything on the family whether in wales or usa. i think the reason for caenarfon is because that is the registration district and not the actual birth place could this be right. as far as i know they were all in anglesey.  thanks for all input from everyone

Sorry, I didn't mention Caernarfon, town or registration district, but the county - Caernarvonshire. Daniel was enumerated in Llanllechid, Caernarvonshire in 1871 & married in the Bangor registration district in Caernarvonshire. According to the census, Daniel junior was born in Bethesda. He appears to have been born before the marriage of his parents

Births have to be registered where they take place & the Bangor registration covered several parishes including Bethesda

That doesn't mean that he didn't grow up in Anglesey, but he wasn't born there.

thanks for that osprey. you have clarified this up. i wondered if they lived there originally and then went to anglesey later. its very confusing at times, with the two daniels and no second name. i assume ann's parents went to wales because of the hard times in ireland with the potato famine etc. cheers mirambu

[osprey]

well, Daniel senior seems to be from an Anglesey family. Both his parents were born there.

The birth cert would confirm maiden name of mother, but this looks like a possible marriage reg

thank you osprey for the info. i have just sent an email to my husbands first cousin in llangefni asking him if he knows the maiden name of his gggfather hugh's wife. seems you may have solved that for me.

I don't think i replied to you.  :'(sorry about that.
I am interested in the Morgan family of mine that went to usa also those that stayed in wales. i have some info because i wrote down a lot of what mum was telling me but unfortunately we were in darwin nt when cyclone tracey went through and lost everything. the sad think is i lost my family history papers as well and sadly by this time mum was in a home both deaf, blind, no legs and faulty memory. i remember the stories but not exactly who they pertained to except for her father daniel morgan hiding in the haystack when 9yrs old when he was supposed to go with his parents to america. he didn't want to go and after this lived with his grandmother elizabeth.
thanks to all for their interest in my search. i have concluded that they went to pennsylvania. found the 1900 census with them but the 1910 census doesn't seem to be our daniel.

I'm not sure what to make of all this, I've just picked up my MORGAN line research again and thought the following from the OP was MY family!:

1900 census usa: daniel, plains, luzerne, coal miner, immigration 1884
1910 census usa: daniel, plains, luzerne, coal miner, married, boarder emigrated 1880. no ann in it.
1910 census usa: patrick, plains, luzerne, b 1883, married, 2 stepdaus, emigrated 1890. no trace of him after that.
no trace of prince or pierce.

I have the personal name Pierce in my Morgan line so it makes sense, but like the OP, I could not find "Prince" after the 1910 PA census. It could be that he died.

I'm very interested in what anyone has found about this, as I knew my MORGAN's had settled out in that general area of PA (then some moved slowly west toward Berwick, PA, at least one married an O'BRIEN and moved on to OHIO). But I also found my grandfather's marriage certificate and it states that his father was from out in Plains, PA.

I'm just so excited to see this thread on MORGAN. My MORGAN'S have been very elusive thus far, I assume it is because they moved around to where the work was.
