My Great-Great-great Grandfather was Sir John Morphett. He was a Great pioneer in Adelaide South Australia. Many Significant places and streets were named in Adelaide after him. I am interested in hearing from anyone that is related to him.

Researching:
sommers, mcgargill, piggott, Morphett, darlington, townsend, greenslade

Briony,
Is your Mother Kay Byerlee?
If so, my mother was married to her uncle Les Morphett before he was killed in WW2.
Regards,
Peter Nankivell

to find anyone related use Search Trees to see if thre are any connections on this site

to get help you need to give full names and especially some relevant dates

Putting your own name as the title is less than helpful

Your title should give an idea of what you are looking for
