Hi Kazza Thanks for the interest. To be honset I am not sure where they married. The only information which I am confident with is that John their son was born in 1868 and Mary their daughter in 1873 both in Pontypridd. Have looked in Glamorgan and the only William Morgan married to a Mary Richards was in 1869 in Aberdare and William was a collier, as John was born a year earlier the occupation of his father William was a harpist also on John's marriage certificate in 1893,so I do not believe this couple in 1869 are the correct ones. So I am now trying to see if they married maybe in neighboring counties,where William's occupaton was a harpist. Again thankyou for showing an interest in my research.

I googled William Morgan harpist and got this page.

"Can anyone help please? I am looking for the marriage of my great grandparents William Morgan and Mary Richards. I believe that they married in Swansea 1866 in the March quarter. William was from Merthyr and Mary was from Aberdare. Believe Williams occupation was a harpist."
