Summary
Details

THE FOOTBALLING MORGAN FAMILY OF BRISTOL is the result of many years' work by the author, investigating and researching the Morgan family from North-East Bristol. They were a large and sporting family, excelling in swimming, water polo, pigeon racing and most notably, football. Five members of the Morgan family played football at a high level, and others played for local teams in the Bristol area. Two, Frederick 'Jerry' Morgan and William James 'Jimmy' Morgan played over 100 times each for Bristol Rovers, and full details of their careers have been compiled. The family is probably best well-known for fielding football teams made up of family members to raise money for local charities, which they organised from 1919 until the mid-1960s. In addition to the sporting aspect of the family, details of the family ancestry are explained in depth, together with details of associated families who married into the Morgan family. Many of the family ran public houses, and details of them have been included as an appendix. The written memories of the author's grandmother, Ivy Morgan, have been transcribed and they give a fascinating and detailed account of growing up in the north-eastern suburbs of Bristol in the early part of the 20th Century. Her wartime experiences are included, as well as many family anecdotes, photographs and documents. Many family members have kindly contributed family photographs and stories, and these have been included throughout the book. The book serves as a remarkable piece of both social and local history.
