Trying to find Minty

Hi everyone Well, the information I have on the Minty side of my family has improved somewhat, I have been able to trace them back as far as about 1830 (this being my gx4 grandfather, John Minty, who married Elizabeth Kick), but am still keen to gather as much information as I possibly can. I discovered that most of my Minty family hail from the Corsley/Westbury Wiltshire area, and the majority were either agricultural labourers or furniture makers. I do know that a couple of members went to the Bedwellty area of Wales in the early 1900's (probably to work down the pits), here is where my great grandfather, Sidney Minty, married Doris L Morgan (born 1895, Bedwellty, married 1914 Bedwellty and died 1968 Pontypool) the Morgan side is another branch of my tree I am trying to research, but rather unsuccessfully, so if anyone out there has any information on either the Minty family from Wiltshire or the Morgan family from Bedwellty area, I would be very grateful. Many thanks Sarah Minty (born 1973)
