John Morgan 1871 Census lookup request
« on: Tuesday 15 March 11 13:28 GMT (UK) »
I am currently researching my Grandmother's line, and am trying to identify my Great Grandfather John Morgan in the 1871 census .
I have found him in 1881 aged 24 where he is already married,  located in Michaelstone Lower, Aberavon
In 1891 he is in Pwll y Glaw with his family, including my grandmother Lowry Myfanwy Morgan aged 2months.
so i really need to find him in 1871 aged about 14. All i know is that his father from his marriage certificate is William Morgan, and he was born (according to the 1891 census) in Cwmavon.
can anybody help?
it isn't a lot to go on, anything gratefully received

Thank you for this Margaret. It is distinctly possible.
I thought there would be a lot of them (William/John combinations)
if this is the only one then it is likely. and if it is then I have a number of people to document. My father used to say that his grandfather (JM) had a brother in Neath.
 I am also tickled to see there is a Morgan Morgan. In a different branch of my tree I have an Evan Evans

thank you again for your help

Hi There are quite a lot of John Morgan with William Morgan as father but this family seems to be the only family in the Cwmavon area, Marg,,

so other candidates but not as strong. I am going to Aberdare Library soon to look at reports of family weddings and funerals, hopefully those attending will give us clues

thanks
