Florian Morgan Sanger-Davies was born in Florence, Italy in 1896, the son of Reverend and Mrs. Joseph Sanger-Davies. He was schooled in England and served as a lieutenant during World War I. He was seriously wounded and decorated for bravery. In May 1921, Morgan emigrated to Canada, studied agriculture at the Vermilian School of Agriculture, and purchased a farm north of Grande Prairie. On March 17, 1927, he married Mabel Edith Bridel of Lewes, England, the daughter of H. F. Bridel, at Hove, England. Morgan presumably returned to the farm near Grande Prairie after their marriage. It is unclear whether she accompanied him. In 1929, the marriage was annulled. Mabel appears in later records as living in England and died in September 1983.

Joyce Marian Astley Cave-Browne was born July 2, 1907 in Southwold, Suffolk, England, the daughter of William Charles Cave-Browne and Maude Alice Jones. Joyce was raised partially in India and partially in England. In 1922, Joyce immigrated to the Wembley area with her mother and sister, Selina (later Sela Watts). In 1928, Joyce returned to England, becoming an actress. On her return to Grande Prairie in 1933, she operated a circulating library in the Wembley community. She also attended the Grande Prairie Business College.

On December 4, 1934, Joyce and Morgan were married. They continued to live and work on Morgan's farm. Their other pursuits included horticulture, acting, sketching, painting, skiing, and swimming. They also attended Christ Church Anglican in Grande Prairie, where Morgan served as a lay reader.

During World War II, Morgan again joined the army and was stationed at several POW camps across the country. Joyce and a hired man continued to run the farm in his absence, but eventually she rented the land out and joined her husband in Ontario, Lethbridge, and Banff, returning home after the War ended.

Continuing in the lay ministry after the war, Morgan decided to join the formal ministry. He was ordained deacon at St. James' Cathedral (Peace River) in 1951, was incumbent at Emmanuel Church (Sexsmith), and was ordained in 1952, serving St. Andrew's Anglican Church (Spirit River). In 1958, he was made a Canon and in 1959 was stationed at the Berwyn and Grimshaw churches.

Morgan Sanger-Davies died on January 4, 1963. Joyce became matron at St. Mary's Hostel for young girls in Athabasca shortly thereafter. She was actively involved with her local congregation, as an organist, Sunday School teacher, and choir member. She was also active in the community, later teaching preschool and piano lessons, and helping at the senior citizen's home. She developed Alzheimer's and moved to a nursing home in Grande Prairie in December 1984. A year later, in November 1985, she died.
