Born 3 May 1831, sixth son of Thomas Morgan of Pipton, Glasbury, Brecknock - on the family, see Theophilus Jones, History of the County of Brecknock, 3rd ed., iii, 90. Because of the family's financial losses, several of the sons went up to London, where they were remarkably successful. Walter Vaughan Morgan was for ten years (1846-56) in the service of the National Provincial Bank in various places, but he then joined the firm of ' Morgan Brothers ' and other family ventures. He was lord mayor of London in 1905-6, and died 12 November 1916.
A younger brother (the eighth son), OCTAVIUS VAUGHAN MORGAN (1837 - 1896), a F.S.A., was Liberal Member of Parliament for Battersea, 1885-92.
