Find Ancestors

MORGANS OF KENT AND THEN DEVON I'd be very grateful for any information on the following ancestors. WALTER MORGAN - Born approx 1836 in Eynsford, Kent. Walter was a Naval Pensioner. During the time of the 1881 Census he was living in Lifton, Nr Launceston with Maria his wife. Has anyone any information on Maria? Later in the 1891 Census he was then living with another wife called Sarah Ann. In Newton Abbot, Devon. They appear to have three children living with them: Martha aged 7 Eliza J aged 5 and my G.G. Grandfather also called Walter aged 3 Also a 16 year old male called William Mayne who is desribed as a Son in Law. By the time of the 1901 Census they were living with Walter Morgan Jnr in Halberton, Devon Does anyone have any information on any of the above?
