Hi Sir or Madam I would love it if you could help me to find out what happened to my grandfather, Thomas Joseph Morgan born in Kilkeel, In or around Harbour street, in 1867. His mother was Mary Jane Morgan who was born in Kilkeel, where she lived for approx 30 years before she moved to New York with her daughters. Thomas joined the Navy No ( P218732) in 1904, and was there until 1926 ish, there is a 22 year gap, then he turns up in Cardiff in 1944 ish when he met my grandmother Olive Payne (formally Kench) and had two Children Thomas Morgan (my father) the younger, and Patrick Morgan whom he later found out was not his, at this point he was living in 2 Richmond road, Stockton on Tees, Teesside. Then I loose his trail, I believe he moved away because of this news. Any info you can find out about my Grandfather, P.J.Morgan or his sisters, Lizzie, Charlotte, Margaret & Ellen, and younger brother Patrick or indeed their Father who was dead in 1901 census, we know his wife was Mary Jane Morgan (Campbell), would be greatly appreciated.
I have just read through this email and realise this is a lot to ask, but any leads would be brilliant
Also my wife and I are thinking of taking a trip to Kilkeel to research these people and find out how and where they hung out. could you recommend any useful sources of information in Northern Ireland, Museums, Libraries etc... Regards
