Scope and Content

Information provided from the Gothenburg Museum 1932 Annual Report and correspondence between Goteborgs Historiska Museum's Registrar Arvid Flygare and P. R. Baldwin the Minister at St Mary's Church Conway.

Includes copies of paintings of Fanny (b. 1800) and Morgan as well as a water-colour of the family home the Liseberg Estate, Gothenburg and one of Fanny's brother and four sisters. Fanny was a talented artist and it is believed that the siblings drawing was by her. The Estate water-clour is also believed to have been drawn by a Nonnen sister.

Fanny was the daughter of John Nonnen who settled in Gothenburg when he became responsible for a sugar-refinery in Klippan close by. He bought the Liseberg Estate (now the famous amusement park Liseberg). Fanny married Morgan Morgan (at the time a chaplian of the English congregation in Gothenberg) in 1823 and moved with him to Britain in 1836, where he took up his role as vicar of Conway in 1838.
