for the Captain MORGAN link to the BIDMEAD Family
I am trying
to locate a distant BIDMEAD or MORGAN
relative, and/or researcher related to the BIDMEAD family in
Wales (possibly Glamorgan area), who has reportedly researched
and traced the family line back to link with the historical
figure of Captain
Sir Henry MORGAN, Buccaneer & Governor of Jamaica in the
1600's. The MORGAN family is believed to be traced back to 1089.
The researcher may have been in correspondence with the BIDMEAD
family in New Zealand in the 1980's.
BIDMEAD
MORGAN
Descendants of
Richard MORGAN (Bachelor
of the Parish of St Michaels Gloucester) &
Hester BIDMEAD (m.
by Licence at St Catherines Of the Parish of St Mary De Lode
15.11.1804. Both parties signed.
Son Richard
Bidmead MORGAN
("the first" n. Oct 1808 ) Gloucester St Michael and
daughter Sarah
(n. c1814?, m. Felix
JONES of
Bristol and also went to Australia).
Richard
Bidmead MORGAN ("the
first") = Charlotte
WILLSON/WILSON
(n. c1823) at St. Leonard, Shoreditch, London in 1848. Their
children included 2 boys & maybe also a girl Eileen.
Charles
(Chas) MORGAN
(n.1849) & Henry
Bidmead MORGAN
(GGF n. Nov. 1851 at 29 Little Windmill St., Golden Square, St.
James, Westminster, London). This appears to be Richard's second
marriage (see below).
Richard
Bidmead MORGAN ("the
first") & family arrived in Adelaide, South Australia on
the ship "Shackamaxon"
from Cardiff in 1853. Also with another Richard
Bidmead MORGAN
("the second" n. c1831) & Lydia
Hester MORGAN
(n. c1834) assumed from a previous marriage occurring sometime
between 1825 & 1831. [Lydia married Joseph EDWARDS at the
Wesleyan Chapel, Kooringa 22.8.1856. They had five children.
After Joseph's death Lydia married George DAVIS 16.1.1882 at her
house in Wallaroo.]
Family hearsay:
Richard
MORGAN was
born on the family estate of Lilydale, Glamorganshire, Wales and
given his patrimony because he ran off with the inn keepers
daughter. Liz's aunt (who also has BIDMEAD as a second name) said
that it was important because there is a Sir Henry BIDMEAD in the
family.
Her grandfather was
Harold
Morgan BIDMEADE
(1881 – 1949). The family were originally unaware that his
father and grandfather were born JONES, and still have no clue as
to why GGF Frederick JONES/BIDMEADE (sic) (n.1845) changed the
family's surname to BIDMEADE. The name change coincided with the
family's relocation to New Zealand from South Australia in the
late 1870's, and all seven issue of Frederick and his wife Mary
Ann were raised there as BIDMEADE.
