marriage Jun qtr 1885 Cardiff 11a
MORGAN—MONFRIES.—June 23rd, at- the Presby- terian Church. Cardiff, by the Rev. J. D. Watters, M.A., Richard, eldest son öf Charles Morgan, of Iloath, Cardiff, to Annie Chamberlain, fourth daughter of the late James Laurie Monfries, of Pwllypant. No cards Richard worked as a secretary for the coal company of John Cory
The control of the affairs of the Company was in the hands of five directors, Messrs’ John and Richard Cory and their sons Messrs’ S. Campbell Cory, Herbert B. Cory and Clifford John Cory, Mr John Cory being chairman. The secretary of the Company is Mr Richard Morgan. Seeing that the chairman of the company Mr John Cory now 78 years of age has throughout his life been intimately connected with colliery owning, coal exporting, ship-owning and railway work, it goes without saying that he possesses an unequalled commercial experience. But, in addition, Mr John Cory presents an example of untiring energy. Irrespective of his own firm, which is the largest exporting firm in the world, he is deputy-chairman of the Barry Railway and a director of the Vale of Glamorgan Railway.
the account of the death / funeral of Richard Morgan in 1919.
"Mr. Richard Morgan. of Mill Crest. Llanishen, has died at Porthcawl, after a long illness at the ago of 57 ... spent the whole of his commercial life with Messrs Cory Bros and Co, colliery proprietors ... 27 years secretary of the company ...having started as a junior over 40 years ago - 21 June 1919 - Western Mail"
He was father of Dorothy Margaret Morgan who married 'Archie' Vlieland.
His sister, Margaret Mary Morgan (BIRTH 10 APR 1889 • Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales, DEATH 19 FEB 1970 • Ashford, Kent, England) is even more interesting. She joined the Red Cross in WW1 and was 'demobilised' exactly 100 years ago, in May 1919, during that time she had a meteoric rise through its ranks.
was recruited in April 1916 to Samuel House Auxiliary Hospital Cardiff as a Kitchen maid and later cook, moving to Dunraven Castle Auxiliary Hospital, Southerdown, she became its quartermaster and finished the war as its Commandant!

Thomas Vlieland
She received a letter from a very helpfull lady that reads
We have a record of a Thomas Vlieland, who was apparently a customer of Drummonds Bank in 1780. Drummonds is one of our private banks in London and we have an excellent set of customer ledgers which detail income and expenditure.
Thomas Vlieland's account only covers one year, so I don't know how interesting it would be even if he is related to your family, but I thought you might like to know that there was definitely a Vlieland in London in 1780!
I think this must be Thomas Michiel Vlieland .
He came from Belgium to settle in Zeeland a part of the Netherlands .
He bought and sold a house there .
He worked for the Dutch East India Company.
So maybe that is the reason for banking in London for one year.
He attended a funeral in Sri Lanka.
Middelburgsche Courant | 1770 |
But so far that is all we know.

Emmeline Pidsley neé Haydon
She married Richard Hayward Pidsley in March 1874 and their son Richard Hayward Pidsley was born in June 1874.
After the death of her husband in March 1877 she had a lodging house .
Looking for more information on Emmeline we find this .
Will of William Lambert of Wallon, Esq., only son of William Lambert, otherwise William Lambert Gorwyn, of Wallon deceased, 1853
Bequeaths to his son William Lambert the younger Waterland in Cheriton Bishop, previously in the possession of John Gale and now in the possession of the testator. Also bequeaths to William 5 properties with shop, garden, orchard and field called the Three Lions previously in the possession of John Gale and then in that of Samuel Gregory, all of which descended to the testator as heir in law of his uncle John Lambert Gorwyn.
Bequeaths £400 to the Rev. William Ponsford and his brother John Ponsford, both of Drewsteignton, in trust for his granddaughter Elizabeth Emily Lambert, only child of his deceased son John, to go to her on reaching the age of 21 or marriage if earlier, with remainder to his son William. During her minority the income is to be used for her upkeep and education.
Bequeaths to the same trustees Wallon and the property called Millhouse with Wear Mill, both now in the occupation of the testator and William Phillips, in trust for his son William during his life and then to his second son Charles James and his male heirs, with remainder to the younger sons of William and their male issue, and failing them to William’s eldest son William Henry and his heirs. His son William may during his life rent out part or all of these properties for a term not exceeding 21 years.
Bequeaths to his son William all his other estate real and personal, including estates vested in him as mortgagee. Aloso appoints William his executor.
Source: DRO, a copy of the will having been preserved as a document in an 1875 legal case involving Emmeline Pidsley, possibly his daughter-in-law remarried. William’s dates were 1780-1853 (see Table 3).
I think there is a mix up.
Emmeline Pidsley is Emmeline Haydon and she married in 1874 Richard H.Pidsley.
In the census of 1891 she is 44 .So born in 1847.
In her lodginghouse are living three members of the Gould family .probably relatives from her husbands first wife Anne Gould.
The other Emmeline is Emmeline Mary Cole born 1824.
William Lambert Gorwyn (1810-1887) .Has Twin
He became a solicitor in Exeter, with chambers first in Queen Street and the Castle Street. In 1851 he was living at The Close with his family, plus an articled clerk, 2 nurses, a cook and a housemaid. He and his family dropped the Gorwyn from their name.
m. Emmeline Mary Cole (1824-1891) in 1844. Daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Cole of Whitestone. Her dates were 1824-1891. They had five children:
(6) William Lambert (c. 1845-1878). Apparently unmarried.
(6) Emmeline Elizabeth Lambert (1849). She died in 1849 aged 10 weeks.
(6) Charles James Lambert of Exeter (1850-1923). Unmarried. He became a well-known solicitor in Exeter and died seems to have owned property in Exeter as well. Left effects (excluding real estate) of £1,747. Devon County chess champion – seewww.chessdevon.co.uk/HTML/Pioneers/cjl/base.htm
(6) John Speare Lambert of Exeter (C.1855-1928). He became a medical officer in the Royal Navy, serving on a number of different ships and retiring in 1904 with the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals and Fleets. Unmarried. When he retired he went to live with his brother in Exeter.
(6) Emmaline A. Lambert, b. about 1857. She was living with parents in 1881 at 6 The Crescent, but appears to have died not long after.
Will of Henry Lambert of Wallon, Drewsteignton, surgeon, 1853
- Bequeaths £500 to his niece Elizabeth Emma Lambert, the daughter of his brother John. If she dies under 21, the funds are to be distributed between the children of his brother William Lambert. During Elizabeth Emma’s minority, the money is to be invested in government securities and used for her maintenance and education.
- Bequeaths £1000 to his dear father.
- Bequeaths £19 19s each to his sisters-in-law Emily Eliza Lambert and Emmeline Lambert; and to his nephews William Henry Lambert and Charles James Lambert.
