is father was Joseph Morgan and his mother was Margaret formerly THOMAS.
His father's occupation was in 1847 was "baller" - one who separates the molten iron innto balls before it is drawn out and flattened and it was the second highest paid work in an Iron works.
or "I wonder if the balls are what are called billets today:
Baller ; iron industry worker
"When the metal begins to melt it is the business of the puddler to watch it from time to time until it is ready for what is technically called BALLING, i.e. dividing the metals into separate balls or quantities or puddle-rolls; which having been done, they are handed over to the shingler, who has the direction of a large and heavy hammer worked by steam or water power, and the rough hot metal is, by repeated blows brought to a more compact form for the rolling mill." From the Employment Commission reports 1842" Thanks to "minstrel" on http://oldmerthyr1.proboards2.com/index.cgi

| Mr. William
Morgan, whose death occurred with such painful suddenness and in such a
tragic manner on Christmas Eve, possessed some very excellent qualities,
and it is only mete that a few additional words to those already
published in the daily papers should be said about the veteran journalist.
"Billy" Morgan, who would have been 50 years of age on Christmas Day, was for many years a well known journalist in Melbourne. It has already been told how the poor fellow, after sending away a batch of despatches from the Central telegraph office to various provincial journals connected with the Country Press Association with which he has been associated for a considerable time, fell into the arms of his son who had brought him a birthday present, and died shortly afterwards. |
All who knew "Billy" Morgan will
agree that it was but fitting that he should die of heart disease. His
heart was so big, so big indeed that he found room in it for everyone's
troubles but his own. Those he had a habit of putting aside and pigeon-holing
and forgetting. The worries of his friends has made his, and an old journalist
on Sunday described him tearfully and with all reverence as "the most Christ-like
man he had ever met."
Mr. Morgan came of a good Welsh family, his father being at one time one of the wealthiest carriage builders in England. "Billy" Morgan arrived in Melbourne when only about 2 years of age with 4,000 pounds cash. He had received an excellent commercial and general education, but failed to establish himself in business, and after a few years became leader of the reporting staff of the "Daily Telegraph". {Melbourne] |
