William Morgan {death] 1891

[eirwen]

REPEAT REQUEST  I have the death certificate of a William Morgan [ harpist] aged 52 yrs  who died 12th June 1891 at 6 Maesteg Row Gilfach Goch . Brother George in attendance. is there any burial records for this area which might in form me where William might have been buried. Found a death announcement in a local paper but all it said was that William was a harpist. Would like to establish IF William was married and if so name of widow. Thankyou . Eirwen

Hi  Eirwen,

Romilly - This William is not the one eirwen is looking for. William Morgan the harpist in your search is Ap Sienkyn who is the son of Jenkin Morgan.
