The Children of Ann Wombwell and Henry Morgan

Ann Wombwell’s children through her marriage to Henry Morgan were all, again, x2 removed third cousins of Hetty Jane Owen, and were:

i) Jane Morgan (1805-1879)
ii) Maria Morgan (1807-1849)
iii) Elizabeth Morgan (1810-????)
iv) Caroline Morgan (1812-1881)
v) Henry Morgan (1813-1871)
vi) Amelia Ann Morgan (1815-1904)

These children, for the most part, married, had children and produced lengthy lines. They did so without using the Wombwell name and may or may not have carried a residual store of resentment both at Ann’s cavalier disposal of the family name, and her decision shortly after their father’s death to hit the menagerie trail.

The notable exception is Amelia Ann Morgan, the youngest child, born around the time of her father’s death. This is the Amelia who married George’s business partner, Edmund Bramston, and who, once widowed, returned to live with her mother in Hampstead in her retirement, and who - with her mother - took in George Wombwell junior’s daughter, from his first marriage, Ann Fanny Wombwell, prior to her departure to China. 

Edmund was a close enough friend of George to merit a memorial inscription on his Highgate Cemetery grave, along with Amelia Ann:
