Welcome to the forum, Graham. What was the name of William's father? (It could help us eliminate other William Morgans) Where was LLangefelach Road? - Was it in Swansea?

[lennon2011]

I have a William Morgan from the Glamorgan area.. Shall check the birth to see if it's a match.

[lennon2011]

Ahh mine was born in 1831 so it's not the same person, sorry.

FreeBMD has 6 William Morgans with births registered in Swansea during 1879 so more detail please.

Hi,
I justbhave the following details...

WILLIAM MORGAN....born 1879
Died 1944
Father was WILLIAM MORGAN, who at the time of the marriage of was residing at Llangefelach Road, Swansea, and is down on the Sons' marriage certificate as LABOURER.That is all I have at the moment.

[kylejustin]

william morgan who married mary ann harris was living in llangefelach rd, not his father.

i'm having trouble identifying william jnr in the census. there is a william morgan b.1881 swansea living with mother ellen b.1857 somerford keynes, wilts in 1891, but his father is absent. the 1901 census shows father and son home together in swansea, so this is not the right family.

the only other william in 1891 swansea with father william is:
william morgan b.1881, swansea, and father william is b.1848 haverfordwest, pembrokeshire. father is a tinplate sorter though. mother is martha b.1847 haverfordwest. father william is widowed in 1901, in swansea, a tin plate binder.
