Gareth Gough Morris
« on: Saturday 06 June 15 13:07 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon. I am trying to find information on my cousin Gareth Gough Morris. born about 1927 Toronto Canada. His mother Margaret Gough left for Canada with his father Jo Morris from Llangristiolus Anglesey sometime before his birth. I don't know when or if his parents married as Jo Morris was already married. Have tried to find record of Gareth's birth to no avail. Any help appreciated. I have an address for them in 1935..1308 Queen Street . Toronto
Thanks Karen

HI,

Welcome to RootsChat

There are no Central registries/indexes in Canada for BMDs.  Canada has very strict privacy laws and each province imposes its own even further.  Additionally, some provinces are more research friendly than others so researching in Canada can be challenging.  Births would be protected by the 100 year rule - as a guide BMD Records are only available for births more than a 100 years ago, marriages 85 years ago (They are up to about 1929/30 at the moment) and deaths 70 years ago.

Garth Gough Morris details posted on this thread on another forum-

As well as Canadian record restrictions we aren't allowed to post details on Rootschat of anyone who might still be living.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi Karen,

My name is Lisa Megan Morris. I also have a sister Joanne Morris. We know our fathers name was Gareth Gough Morris. We never got to meet any grandparents but we do know they came here from Wales.

Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa, Lovely to hear from you. We know very little about Megan and Joe Morris your grandparents. They left for Canada in 1927 , Megan was pregnant and her father John Gough was very strict so they left Wales. Megan died in 1948 . I believe she and Joe divorced and she remarried. My mum Menna Gough visited her in 1935. I have quite a bit on the Gough family tree if you would like any info or photo's.
Hope to hear from you.
Karen

Hi LisaMeganB and Katycat60

Welcome to RootsChat

Fantastic result that you have found each other.  Lisa would need to post a couple more times and then you can use the personal message system to swop information in private.

Regards
Sandra  ;)

I am waiting for my sister to get home from work so I can call her. Do you really think that this would be the same person? It would be so wonderful to learn about family in Wales (Is that right?) My middle name and my sisters first name make it seem so real

I have Gareth Gough Morris born 19 August 1927 Toronto Canada. Parents Margaret known as Megan Gough born 1903 Howarden, Flintshire. William Joseph Morris born 1897 Landore, Swansea. I hope we are related :) all my mum's family are deceased so there is know one to ask. I have one photo of Gareth taken when he was about 14 or 15 I think.
