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

Do you have his father's occupation from the marriage record ?

Probably a good place to start would be with the Irish 1901 and 1911 census returns to see if there's any sign of the family in Ireland ...

see : Introduction to Irish Records

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.

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.

PS

Just back on the religion, the death certificate states that service was held in local Church of England church.
