I am amazed sometimes at some of the lacunae in the published (book or net) material on the life of JRRT. One of these is the important figure of Father Francis Morgan (I believe his middle name was Xavier). This man seems to have been pivotal in the convervion of his mother to Catholicism, served as guardian of JRRT and his brother after her death, intervened in the courtship of his wife, remained a close family friend, including accompanying them on holiday, and may have influenced son John in his vocation. His half-Welsh, half-Spanish background may have influenced JRRT's linguistic inclinations (according to one of the Letters, Spanish was the only Romance language that had any emotional appeal to him). Yet I could find next to nothing about the man!
Well, to sort of kick off some discussion about him, I'll start with the his entry in the 1881 British census. FXM, was, coincidentally, almost the exact age as JRRT's father, both being born about a month apart in 1857. At 24, he was already a priest dwelling at the Birmingham Oratory founded by the famous John Newman, Cardinal:

The Oratory site mentions that FXM was visited by his Osbourne nephews. I don't know whether that means that his mother's family was the Osbourne family, or whether the connection was by marriage, but in any case this article is extremely interesting one about that family (BTW, Architect of Middle Earth call the maternal connection an Anglo-Spanish family, so that would tend to support the possible Osbourne link):
"Contemporary Conquistador
Ignacio Osbourne is trasnforming his family wine company to conquer the world
By Bruce Schoenfeld
Downstairs from the art gallery, not far from the lecture hall, there's a room at the new Osborne winery that could serve as a museum to Spain's traditional way of life.
The room, however, is not a museum -- it houses the winery's retail shop.
Browse the aisles of Osborne products, from Bodegas Montecillo Rioja to pâté of Jabugo ham, and you can almost hear the clicking castanets of flamenco dancers. A row of Sherry bottles conjures up a languid afternoon in the Andalusian countryside. The bright red logo of Magno brandy evokes images of Hemingway throwing back a glass before a bullfight; Anís del Mono is as quintessentially Spanish as a dark-eyed girl on a moonlit night.
But the caballeros who drink brandies with lunch and fino Sherries before dinner are a vanishing breed. Spanish cuisine has evolved to reflect an increasingly urbane lifestyle -- less pork pâté than tuna carpaccio. And while Montecillo's reds stand as faithful examples of conventional Rioja, Spanish wine has reinvented itself with international-style bottlings from trendy new growing regions.
This 230-year-old company may be more associated with Spain's history and tradition than any other, but tradition alone won't pay the bills. Toward that end, CEO Ignacio Osborne has persuaded the 198 Osborne family members who own company stock to head in a radically different direction. The new $50 million winery, in Malpica de Tajo on the Castillian plain, an hour's drive south of Madrid, is the most visible result. 'The market is around the world now, not in our own belly,' says Ignacio, 49.
A former agricultural-equipment executive, Ignacio spent seven years in Norway designing oil rigs before returning to Spain. He had worked for Osborne less than three years when he was named CEO in 1996. He knows that the world doesn't end at the Pyrenees.
From the balcony of the Malpica winery on which he stands, vineyards extend almost as far as he can see. Land that until recently grew tomatoes is now producing Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, with Grenache, Syrah and Petit Verdot coming, ultimately more than 30 varieties in all. When planting is completed in two years, vines will cover nearly 2,500 acres.
Such a vast expanse will create one of the largest estates under vine in all of Europe. The fruit is earmarked for a line of wines made specifically for consumers outside Spain. No appellation will be referenced, and Spain's standard aging classifications of crianza, reserva and gran reserva will be ignored.
Already the production of Solaz, a Cabernet Sauvignon-Tempranillo blend, has tripled, from 50,000 cases of the debut vintage, 1999, to 180,000 of the 2000 ($7, 83 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale). About 320,000 cases from the 2001 vintage will be released next year; that's 4 million bottles of a wine that didn't exist three years ago. A second wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon called Dominio de Malpica, is just arriving in America, and four others are in the planning stages. 'These wines can be more than half our business within a decade,' Ignacio says.
If he's right, he will have saved Spain's largest family-owned business. If he isn't, he may well have hastened not only its demise, but that of an entire way of life. He shrugs at the notion. 'What we tried to explain to the board of directors and the shareholders is that the more risky thing would be to do nothing,' Ignacio says. 'It might have been a death without pain, but it would have been death, nonetheless.'
With these words, Ignacio managed to convince five generations of deeply conservative family members that he knew best. But it didn't happen without a struggle.
Thomas Osborne Mann, British-born as were the Williamses and the Humberts, the Harveys and most of the rest of Spain's Sherry trade, founded Osborne y Cia in 1772. The family name was, and is, pronounced OZ-born, but generations of Spanish-born scions have corrupted it to oz-BOR-nay, which is easier for local tongues.
It was still just a Sherry house when surplus wine started to be converted into fortified brandy in the early 20th century. Before long, Osborne's brandies were outselling its Sherries. Today, Osborne has the largest share of the domestic market for Spanish brandy, and sales of its Veterano, Magno and other 103 brands account for more than half the company's income. By contrast, Sherry contributes less than 10 percent.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, Osborne began to diversify further. A joint venture with Portuguese producer Quinta do Noval created an Osborne Port. Then the company bought Anís del Mono and Bodegas Montecillo, and expanded out of alcohol with Sánchez Romero Caravajal hams from Jabugo and Boffard Manchego-style cheese. As its revenues compounded, Osborne grew into one of the largest wine, spirits and gourmet-food producers in Spain. From 1975 to 1985, the company's annual sales grew sixfold from about $50 million to about $300 million.
Still, the entire portfolio remained tied to the traditional Spanish way of life, which also happened to be the Osborne way of life. 'The Osbornes are as Spanish and as Andalusian as it gets,' says Javier Zaccagnini, former head of the governing body of the Ribera del Duero appellation, and Ignacio's friend since childhood. 'Don't be fooled by the name.'
Osborne's headquarters covers several city blocks of El Puerto de Santa María, a coastal town in deepest Andalusia that forms one point on the Sherry triangle, along with Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlœcar de Barrameda. The area's social event of the year is Seville's feria each April, a celebration of traditional Sherry, food and music, old friends and familiar places.
Such insularity suits the family. 'My cousins don't like to get out,' says shareholder Enrique Osborne, 50, a Madrid banker with one foot in the old camp and one in the new. 'They want a small company where they can see everyone all the time.'
Not surprisingly, the company's structure tends to preserve the status quo. Stock shares can be transferred to a family member of a younger generation, but not within a generation. Shares can be sold, but only to someone who is already a shareholder, and never to someone outside the family. 'Company profits are how these people make their living,' says Tomás Osborne, 54, the Osborne chairman. 'So they aren't exactly eager to change.'
Sitting in a fashionable bar near Seville, drinking Osborne Sherry, a flawless knot in his tie, Tomás is the picture of an Andalusian gentleman. A sixth-generation shareholder, he joined the company in the early '70s.
As Spain transformed itself in the years after Francisco Franco's dictatorship, Tomás realized that the company needed new ideas. His cousin Ignacio, his father's brother's son, had moved to Scandinavia to design oil rigs and remained there until he realized he was raising Norwegian children, not Spaniards. Ignacio was smart, logical, worldly, charismatic, and -- most important -- an Osborne. By 1993, Ignacio had returned to Spain to help run a machinery company in Madrid. Tomás made an offer to get his cousin into the family business.
Before long, Tomás decided that this engineer had the vision to be the CEO. From that position, with only Tomás above him to report to, he could lead the company in a different direction. Convincing the family members was a different story. What did Norwegian oil and farm implements have to do with selling brandy and wine? 'It was not easy,' Tomás says. 'People asked, 'Does he know anything about this?' 'Will he make too many changes?''
Those family fears proved justified. Once confirmed as CEO, Ignacio set plans in motion to renovate the business. He wanted profitable businesses in international markets, so he paid a working visit to the United States, the first Osborne CEO to do so. He sold off the cheese company, and inaugurated a strategy of using the Osborne name on every product.
Then he proposed buying into the Mexican tequila producer Herradura. It was his first major move, and almost his last. 'We'd had a very bad experience with an oil investment in Mexico City,' Enrique says. 'People couldn't believe we were talking about Mexico again. They'd stand up at the meetings and say, 'You young people are crazy.''
This went on for months. Frustrated, Ignacio threatened to leave. A board of directors that was afraid of doing anything new was even more afraid of losing this modern CEO, who seemed good for the company in abstract, if not necessarily in practice. Soon Ignacio had a victory, and Osborne had 25 percent of Herradura, plus access to its distribution system. That put products such as Veterano in even the smallest Mexican towns, where they'd never been before. As a result, sales of Osborne brandies in Mexico have grown by 60 percent.
Ignacio's changes didn't stop there. He unveiled Toro, a brandy meant to be drunk on ice and that could be mixed with Coca-Cola -- it was the first Osborne product for a new generation. He created an export group based not in Puerto but in Madrid, which helped Osborne gain access to a more educated and skilled talent pool and positioned the company to handle international growth. Then he started thinking seriously about wine. He wondered, why not make one that people all over the world want to drink?
Ignacio's watchword is globalization, which doesn't exactly have a soothing sound in the shadow of Seville. He hears the complaints, but believes the way to popularity with the family shareholders is through profit statements. 'A family business is a combination of a good family and a good business,' he says. 'But if you have to choose, choose the business. Because if the business doesn't go well, the love of the family disappears, anyway.'
Investing $50 million in red wine -- to be exported without even an appellation on the label -- was the most difficult concept yet for the shareholders to swallow. Ignacio called on all his powers of persuasion to make them understand. Consumers wanted wine that was fruity and easy to enjoy, he told them. Osborne could give it to them in volume. The future was in Madrid and points beyond, not at the old family bodega in Puerto.
Such talk called the family's entire lifestyle into question. The grumbling became palpable. 'We already have a red wine,' one shareholder announced. 'Why do we need another?' Then Tomás, wearing the green wool sport coat of a caballero, stood up to support his CEO. 'Wine is in our roots,' he said. 'This is something we have to do.'
That was the turning point. The shareholders liked Ignacio, but they didn't necessarily trust him with the company. But Tomás was one of them, Andalusian to the core. If he agreed with this bold investment, it couldn't be too foolhardy. In fact, Tomás understood the shareholders' hesitations. But ultimately, he believed in Ignacio's vision.
It quickly became reality. Construction started in March 2001, and a team of enologists worked the harvest that October in the uncompleted shell of the winery. By June 2002, the tour buses were rolling in. By then, so were the profits. Osborne did almost $500 million of business in 2002, the largest total in its history, with the vast majority of growth in sales attributable to Malpica. Of that, about $40 million was profit.
Ignacio isn't finished. Late last year, he announced that he was trading 15 percent of the company, including two seats on the board of directors, for Solar de Cabral, a Spanish producer of bottled water. It meant that, after 230 years, Osborne would no longer be held only by family members, though outsiders are still barred from ownership of the 85 percent of stock that remains in Osborne hands. The impact in terms of how the company is run is minimal, but the symbolism is dramatic. 'To open your home is not easy, to have new people inside,' says Tomás.
Simultaneously, Ignacio has made a major investment in Aalto, an ambitious new winery in Ribera del Duero. Partnering with Zaccagnini, winemaker Mariano García of Mauro and other investors, Osborne is the largest shareholder.
Unlike Ignacio's other ventures, this one doesn't carry the Osborne logo. Other than being a global product, it hardly seems to fit his grand strategy. But investing in Aalto has enabled Osborne to create Se–orío del Cid, a new Ribera del Duero wine, without a single employee in the area. (Zaccagnini buys the grapes; García helps make the wine.) And the prestige of Osborne's association with Aalto is expected to help the Malpica wines. Though the U.S. allocation of Aalto's debut vintage, 1999, was recalled after bottles were left standing on a loading dock and spoiled, the 2000 vintage was scored outstanding (91 points).
Ignacio has transformed the company in a dramatic way. 'It has been a process of changing the mentality of the family,' he says, riding down Madrid's Gran Vía in the back of a luxury car, the picture of a successful international executive. 'It wasn't just a crazy man from Norway who came in and made a revolution.'
He has spent the day at the Madrid office and the new winery, touring the latest improvements. He has a dinner reservation at a posh restaurant, if he wants it, and an apartment where he can stay as long as he likes. More and more, Osborne is becoming an international company, and international business is transacted from the country's capital, not the backwaters of Andalusia.
Yet when his work in Madrid is done, he always prefers to board the AVE, Spain's high-speed train, and head south to Seville, if he can. That's what he's doing now, hustling to get to the train station. In Seville, he'll change trains and continue on to Puerto and the coast. He's an Osborne, and that's still home."

Just to get things started, a brief bio may be found here.
A lot more info can be waded through at this site: Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman
But I'll let Aravar say something about him  .
Of course, it is possible that the only connection between Fr. Francis and Cardinal Newman is that the latter was the former's boss.

If you read the material from the Oratory site, I think that you'll find indications that this was not primarily a relationship between employer and employee, but a warm personal relationship.

Asunto: Fr. Morgan family connection
Dear Sir,
The information I'm giving you has been taken from the Osborne family files and it says :
Doña Maria Manuela Rafaela Osborne y Bohl de Faber, was born in Cadiz in 1827, she was the eldest among their brothers and died in El Puerto de Santa Maria on the 9 th of April in 1894. She married in the Parish of Neward, county of Nottingham, on the 3 rd of February in 1851 with Francis Morgan, son of Thomas Morgan and from this marriage were born the following children :
1º Don Augusto Morgan y Osborne, who lived bachelor in El Puerto de Santa Maria
2º Don Tomas Morgan y Osborne, who died bachelor in El Puerto de Santa Maria
3º Father Francis Morgan y Osborne, who was born in January in 1860 and was Presbyter of San Felipe Neri Oratory, resident in Birmingham, England
4º Sister Isabel Morgan y Osborne, Reparatrice nun with residence in Jerez de la Frontera
Could you please inform us what is the relation between the Tolkien and the Morgan family?
We know that everything you are saying about the Morgan family is truth and we want to cooperate with you in case you would like to know more about your inquiries.
Best regards,
jose gomez ariza

I looked up the Bohl de Faber family on Google and foud that there was another literary connection that FXM had through his maternal relations:
"(Fernán Caballero, León de Lara)
Cecilia Bohl de Faber
[Morges, 1796 - Sevilla, 1877]
Cecilia Böhl de Faber nació en Morges, Suiza, el 24 de diciembre de 1796. Hija del conocido hispanista Juan Nicolás Böhl, natural de Hamburgo y cónsul en Cádiz, y de Francisca Larrea, que escribió con el seudónimo de «Corina».
Pasó sus primeros años en Alemania hasta que regresa con su familia en 1813. El 30 de marzo de 1816 se casa con el capitán de infantería don Antonio Planelles y Bardaxí y se marchan a Puerto Rico, por ser destinado él allí. Poco después queda viuda y tiene que buscar la protección del capitán general de la isla, que la acoge hasta su regreso.
Pasa en Hamburgo luego algún tiempo junto a su abuela, y al regresar a Cádiz conoce a Francisco Ruiz del Arco, marqués de Arco Hermoso, con el que contrae matrimonio el 26 de marzo de 1822. Su casa en Sevilla se convierte en el centro de la vida social hasta que fallece él en mayo de 1835.
Dos años más tarde se casa con Antonio Arrom de Ayala, enfermo de tisis y al que la escritora costea un viaje a Manila para que se recupere. Acabó por ocupar en Australia el Consulado de España, pero no consiguió salir adelante ni física ni económicamente y acabó por suicidarse en 1863.
Cecilia se queda en la pobreza y es protegida por los duques de Montpensier y la reina Isabel II, que le concede como vivienda una de las casas del Patio de las Banderas del Alcázar de Sevilla. Tras la revolución de 1868 se ponen en venta estas casas, lo que la obliga a buscar otra.
Enferma, en 1877 recibe la visita de la reina y en los últimos momentos la acompaña la infanta Luisa Fernanda. Fallece el 7 de abril de 1877, a los 80 años. Además de una gran cultura dominaba el francés, inglés, alemán e italiano.
