The Footballing Morgan Family of Bristol

This book 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 1960’s.

Details of the family ancestry are explained in depth, together with details of associated families who married into the Morgan family.   This book serves as a remarkable piece of both social and local history.
