Hi there all! I'm trying to track information regarding the family of John Robert Parsons (c.1826 Dublin-1909 London). He was a photographer. His parents were Henry Parsons and Jane Morgan. My connection is through the Morgan line. Jane had a sister, Isabel Alicia Morgan. I think John had a sister, Martha, probably born in 1825.
A google search tells me he was baptised at St George's, Dublin but grew up in County Cork...and moved to London around 1840. This is all I have. If anyone can throw any light on John, or his other family members, I'd really appreciate it!

Oooops! Just spotted this....
1851 in England with his cousin Alicea Morgan she was 80.
Looks like she had a daughter Isabelle who married William H Royston.
John R was with her in 1861.
1871 he was living on his own.Margot

Hi there Margot!
Wow! This is *amazing!* Thank you So very much. You've definitely found the right family and the link to the Royston family. I'm absolutely thrilled to have the Irish details - try as I might, I'd had zero luck unearthing this information.
With huge gratitude!
