Hi Liz, I too have MORGANs in Barton Regis but no connection (yet) to ASMUSSON which sounds Scandinavian, rather than German. My connection is the marriage of Charles Edward MORGAN to Elizabeth Ann DAVIDGE in 1891. I have Charles & Elizabeth with children living at 7 William Street, St. Philip & Jacob out in the 1901 Census. Any connections to your MORGANs?

Nancy Frey wrote: > I too have MORGANs in Barton Regis but no connection (yet) to ASMUSSON which > sounds Scandinavian, rather than German. Scandinavian or Icelandic. I have MORGANS from Wales: a William David MORGANS who married Gertrude Harriet LE SANTO (of Cornish stock) who was later wife to one of my cousins (both now deceased but with descendents still living). I also have MORGANs in Bristol: Alec MORGAN who married Patricia MAGGS who are my uncle and aunt in law - and still living. MORGAN is a fairly common name so it's perfectly possible none of the families you, Liz and I have are connected. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton and Greinton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
