| At the time
of the 1881 census, Henry Morgan and his family
were living at Carpenter’s Yard, Llanofer. |
Henry MORGAN, aged 32, was born
in Lougher, Glamorgan. He was a foreman stone
mason. His wife was
Ann MORGAN, also aged 32, who had been born in
Dowlais, Glamorgan. Their children were
John MORGAN, aged 5, born in Dowlais,
Charlotte H. MORGAN,aged 4, born in Dowlais,
Thomas MORGANaged 2, born in Llanofer, and
David Robert MORGANaged 6 months, born in
Llanofer. |
Henry
Morgan died in January 1884 of cancer of the
stomach.
In a letter to Dafydd Williams (under-agent) sent
from London in April 1884, Lady Llanofer enquired
about what work had been done in the garden at
Bwthyn Penyrheol and three months later, July
19th 1884, Ann Morgan wrote from Bwthyn Penyrheol
to thank Her Ladyship for her continuing kindness
towards her and her children.
There is an entry in Dafydd Williams's account
book, dated 5th July 1884, showing that Mary
Walters had been paid four shillings for washing
and airing Bwthyn Penyrheol; was she preparing it
for the bereaved young family?
Sadly this was not the end of grief for Ann
Morgan. In September 1887, her son Thomas died,
aged nine. The cause of death was given as Acute
Dyspepsia.
In 1886 Ann Morgan, stonemason's widow, was
listed as one of the 'Poor Receiving Clothes in
Llanofer'; and again in 1888 there is a similar
reference.
In 1891, Ann Morgan was living in the parish of
Goytrey, 'Nr. Penty', with her sons John, 15,
stonemason; Dafydd [David] R, 10; Henry C, 9; and
daughter Blodwen E, 7. All were listed as
speaking only Welsh. Charlotte Morgan, 14,
was a general servant at the Ty Uchaf. She
spoke both Welsh and English. |
