G'day Listers,

My 3 x great grandparents, John MORGAN and Sarah (nee BLOUNT) came to Australia in 1842. I have been successful in finding more on Sarah's family but not yet John. Possibly because of the more common name.

John was born 1806 at Grosmont to Thomas and Rachael MORGAN. His siblings were Mary b 1809 and d before 1824. Rachael b 1813. Elizabeth b 1815. Edward b 1817. Thomas b 1820 all at Grosmont. Then another Mary b 1824 at Raglan (I think it is) she died 1824.

John and Sarah married at Parish of All Saints, County of Hereford on 12 June 1838. John's father Thomas profession listed on the marriage certificate looks like Tiler or possibly even Sailor.

Sarah was b 1814 at Moreton Jeffries, Herefordshire to Timothy BLOUNT and Mary CALDICOT.

I am told John's siblings also migrated to Australia but am awaiting confirmation of this.

I would like to find out more information on Thomas and Rachael if its possible.
I can't seem to find a Rachael at all in any of the census and have no idea of her maiden name.

Any suggestions as to where I could begin.
