    3. Re George Morgan & William Morgan. Thankyou for your response. Lesley & Lyn. I do know there were many persons by these names who came to Australia. My grandfather had researched them back in the 1950's and his notes showed a reference to; George Morgan (came free) aged 15yrs ,Profession Brickmaker arrived Oct 1791 on the "Albemarle" the same ship that carried his prospective father-in-law the convict Edward Collins and his wife Elizabeth who gave birth to the daughter Ann Collins in the waters off Sydney hds. George and Ann were married ? 1806/7 ( no record found to date). Ann was 16yrs and George 30yrs ( they had 15 children) We do have copies of their death certs. ( Ancestry docs re Australian Convict Transportation 1791-1868 ref HO11/1 shows both William and George Morgan as convicts 7yrs terms 1796&1797 ship Albemarle) Also reference to both William and George on the QLD site. Further research showed a George Morgan convict arrived the Canada Dec 1801 also Brickmaker and it is this G. Morgan that has been accepted in the families history. My problem is that records pop up with reference to "William Morgan" and we haven't yet been able to find parents for the George Morgan's !!! Hence I am ever doubtful and still searching for answers. I have been researching for well over 30yrs myself and am currently helping with the updating of our Family's Story " A Colonial Brickmakers Family" . Any further help would be gratefully received .
