Hi
I have a birth certificate from 1937 with Robert Moreton given as father I can not find a marriage to the mother Mary Anne Hicks a farmers daughter from Llanpumpsaint. Suggestions from family members he died in early 1950's? no sign of death registration.
Any help would be appreciated
thank you

there looks to be another birth registered to the couple as well. Birth was registered sept qtr 1934 Llandovery vol 11a pg 1591, but was a late registration for a birth that had taken place in 1931.
There is a marriage for a Robert Moreton registered march qtr 1921 Llandovery vol 11a pg 2475, but it's to a Rachel Williams.

Thank you for the information.
I at a loss what to do.
I now just wondering if they ever got married as the mother has not given a married name on the certificate just her maiden name.
thank you again

how was the name given? For the children to be registered as Moreton, their father should have been there to register them.
It could be that Robert couldn't marry her as he was married to Rachel. Might be worth getting that cert and comparing occupations.

hi
thank you for your post the certificate says the following
Fathers name Robert Moreton
name surname and maiden surname of mother Mary A Hicks a farmers daughter
and she has signed it M A Hicks
but i will definitely get hold of the other marriage certificate and have a look
thank you for your help.

looks like no marriage then. ::)
It's not the most common name so 2 different Robert Moretons in the Llandovery registration district would seem rather a large coincidence.

Thank you very much I will persue that line of inquiry
Thank you again

HI Osprey
just a update
I did what you surgested and ordered the marriage certificate for Robert Moreton.
From this I have decided it is the same person as he is a farm labourer. same as the birth certificate I have.
From there I have found a death in 1974 still in Camarthenshire.
I am carrying on with my research - a marriage for him and Mary Anne Hicks.
I thank you for all your help
Happy New Year to all

As she signed the birth registration as Hicks, I doubt she married.
Death reg
Mary A Morton 46 march qtr 1949 Carmarthen vol 8a pg 274
also registered with same volume & page numbers as Mary A Hicks.
may be worth getting that death cert?
Happy New Year!
