birth of Thomas:-

Morgon Thomas Henry St George S. 1d 129
The district St George S. is an alternative name for St George Southwark and it is in the county of Surrey

which will give you his parents names!

Thanks Jonesey!

So date of birth is the same as that on 1901 census, which leads me to believe that that is him arriving in Australia in 1886, and he obviously came back sometime between 1895 and 1901.

What we need is the name of his father and his occupation, which should be on one of his marriage certs?

Catherine:

Name: Thos H Morgon
Estimated birth year: abt 1865
Age: 21
Arrival Date: 14 Nov 1886
Arrival Port: Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia

Nationality: English

No original to view unfortunately.

>>Sands Directories: Sydney and New South Wales, Australia, 1858-1933

>> In 1889 a Thomas H Morgon operated a hairdressers in Castlereagh St, Sydney NSW

>> In 1893 Hairdressers at 87 Sussex St, Sydney.

>>In 1895 a T H Morgon had a tobacconists at 24 King St, Sydney.

I'd be interested to know what it says on the record I posted:-
"Yesterday at 20:53" Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839–1923
Immigration & Emigration

Could someone have a look at that one please?

I think Helen has the marriage details but she needs to know when Thomas arrived in Australia and was he with his parents? as he was born in England

Sydney, Australia it is....

nudge up for anyone who can lookup Australian records

I'ld go with Sydney - there is/was a St Michael's, Sydney abt 7 m NW of downtown - I was a bit thrown by the Victoria on the schedule, since Sydney's in NSW, but then I realized 19 Victoria is a regnal year like you get dating laws, etc.

I cannot see any census with him on as a child so maybe he went to Australia with his parents before 1871. The only other way to find out who his parents were is to order his birth certificate to be sure

Does anyone have any idea as to the parents, brothers and sisters for Thomas Henry Morgon?

It looks like Thomas a Julia married in Australia as you said so if you can find someone who does Australian look ups that may help

Looks like Alice and John Clark only had the two children

And Thomas and Julia did'nt have any children with them in 1901 so either no they didnt have any or they could be away somewhere hard to tell really

Just thinking - if Alice Morgon married Thomas Henry Morgon in 1903 and had Alice Henrietta Morgon in 1905, who must she have been married to have sons that included CLARK, John Son Single M 19 1892 Railway Porter London Peckham, and CLARK, Henry Son Single M 17 1894 Grocers Assistant London Peckham. What would have been her maiden name?

Also, were there any children born to Thomas Henry Morgon and Julia Newitt?
