John and Sarah migrated with 2 year old daughter Emma who was supposedly
born in London in 1840. They came out on the Ship "Lady Fitzherbert".
Their son, Thomas Fitzherbert Morgan (my great great grandfather) was born
at sea. The next two children, Sarah and John Pugh MORGAN were born at
Merri Creek, Melbourne.
The family settled at Euroa in Victoria where their last son, John Osborn
MORGAN was born. John died at Euroa in 1873, Sarah in 1898.
Many generations of their descendants were born there.

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.
