Wills Merthyr Tydfil
« on: Tuesday 30 January 07 14:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have an ancestor David Rowland Morgan born about 1808 who was a druggist and chemist for at least the years 1849-1852 (historical directories) in Merthyr. I'm sure he would have left a will and I would like to find a copy. Does anyone know where I could get hold of one.
Thanks very much
Lizzy

Hi Lizzy M!

I will direct you to Gareth's fantastic, but very large website.

It would appear that no will is with TNA so I suggest that the family records centre maybe your next search for the "Indexes to Somerset House wills from 1858 to 1943" ???

If probate was applied for records of his will could be here

Hope this all helps on some way!!!
Wendi  :)
