Hi & welcome John JC :cool:

My mother a Morgan & have done quite a bit of Family Tree researching
of Morgan,s in B,ham areas, maybe able to assist you in your Quest,Can you post some particular information, Thomas & Mary,s dates of birth or
perhaps marriage & areas etc? Or as close as you know will help.
Myself & others on this site will assist you all we can,

hi john young,
thank you for your reply, i will give you all info i have.
Thomas served in Shropshire Light Infantry in 1st World War. I think he was born in 1867 and died in Shrewsbury in 1936. He was a publican at the Sun Inn Roushill Shrewsbury in 1920's - 30's.
His wife was Catherine Mary Colhoun.
Does this help.

Hi John JC,
Had a quick search for births, deaths & marriages for your
Thomas James Morgan b 1867 (marriages1885-1905?) & death 1936
He would be 69 at time of death, Publican in Shrewsbury,
Could you explain why buried in Yardley Cemetery, B,ham?
Same quick searches for Catherine(Katherine) Colhoun (Callan et al)
Probably a choice of 150 to 400 possibilities to deeply research without
knowing places of birth, marriage etc
Catherine,, do you know when she died? also buried in Yardley
Both buried Yardley indicates return to "place of birth" yet
Thomas enlisted inShropshire regiment, not Warks or Worcs or Staffs.
Need a little more info to narrow searches or this may take a while,
Not impossible & will eventually gather the info,, Can you get Yardley
Cemetery information, this give you dates, their ages & Who interred
& paid for funeral etc, this route will ascertain correct searches.
Best regards John Y
