James Teague Morgan
James was born in 1939 in Harriet Street, Trecynon, Aberdare. He was the son of Morgan Morgan and Sarah Morgan (née Teague). James has his roots firmly in Trecynon as he was born in a house next door to the one where his mother was born in 1903.
James had an elder brother David Teague Morgan who also attended the County School, 1942-46.
James attended Park School just as WW2 was ending; he remembers standing with the rest of his infants class, waving flags as Field Marshal Montgomery, or his double, went past his school in an open jeep, some time in 1944.
He started working career as an apprentice with the National Coal Board, and afterwards spent some time in the RAF. However for most of his working life he was a constructional engineer in various process industries. He retired in 2003, and has amongst other things used his time to sort out his family history and to continue his interest in keeping his dogs. Currently he has a golden retriever, a bossy big hairy beast.
