« on: Wednesday 08 December 10 20:45 GMT (UK) »
I am looking to find a mention of William Morton around amlwych around the 1800's to about 1825 .His son was Thomas Morton and he was christened in 1835.Thomas also got married in 1857 to Anne Owens .I cannot find a William Morton to match my William in any of the censuses,the only trace I got of a Wlliam Morton is a marriage in 1820 to a Jane Jones so I am stuck at the moment wondering if this is my William.Apart from actually going to Anglesey I dont know what do next,can anyone help please.
