David MORGAN and family - Ashton-under-Lyne, 1891

I (Nigel Callaghan) was in Manchester Library ploughing through the 1891 Census for Ashton-under-Lyne looking for my Callaghan ancestors. In the middle of the 'Irish quarter' I suddenly noticed a Welsh name, just round the corner from my great-grandfather, and guess where they came from!
