   ... Alice Hopton Jones has been described as a Protestant and her marriage to Sir James Morgan probably occurred in the Church of England at Abergavenny, from which register the record was abstracted for inclusion in Catholic records, as was his death record:(Catholic Record Society Publications, Volume 7, page 228, 1927.))

   [Note of Caution: incorrectly identifies Sir James Morgan's 1st wife, instead of his 2nd wife, as the widow Jones and his 2nd wife, instead of his 1st wife, as the mother his children. This has since been disproven by Scroggins (2009)².]
