Hello,

When I typed in "Rees" and "Margaret Morgan" in Google search I got this website and thought you might be interested in a journal I've just listed on eBay as it appears to have belonged to Maggie Morgan who married a man named William Rees. 

I can't read the handwriting very well and much of it is written in Welsh, but even though it doesn't pertain to your query I thought it might be of interest!

Haegar, Thanks for your interest,  its a pity its not John.


regards Ugo

Not sure where you can get a copy.... I think there's a copy at Trinity College, Carmarthen and probably the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth
