My Daughter (Cindy Kennedy, and I are researching our family history. I have found quite a lot of informaton on morgan by googling The United Extended Band of Hope Mine, also found a lot on relatives through trove - the digitalised newspaper archive.

I have found another picture held by the Ballarat Historical society, giving the names of the gentlemen in the picture. It says that the man with the folded arms is actually Lord Newry. Unfortunately Morgan Lee does not get a mention on the back of the photograph...
