My great great grandfather was Job Morgan, who died 18 May 1866. He was the first husband of Hannah Jones below. I'd love an obit reference if available. David Lewis Atherton, CA, USA |

I had a look in papers but could not find any report for his death,was it in Merthyr Tydfil, was it an accident, not every death was put in the papers as it cost quite an amount of money back then. An accident should have been reported but not all were and unless the family had money most normal deaths were not often put in the paper.

Thanks, Mike. I don't know the cause but I'll send for the death certificate. I think he died in Dowlais. Dave PS: I really do appreciate the help! |

They used to shorten names for census records
Wm for William
Jas for James
Thos for Thomas
And Job for Jacob
Try searching for Jacob instead ...
