Thomas Henry Morgan

[curtisd]

Searching for ancestors of Thomas Henry Morgan (Born 1892 Gilfach, Glamorgan, Wales) married 1913-12-01 to Beatrice Ann Fortt (Born 1888).

I know his father is Joseph Morgan (Born 1869 Llandyfodwg, Glamorganshire,Wales). His mother is Jannet (I have no surname yet).

Thank you.

Marriage certificate arrived. It confirms Joseph Morgan's father as David Morgan who was a labourer. Jannet Jones father was David Jones who was an Collier or Roller (Hard to make out what it says). They both resided at Gilfach Goch, Rhondda Cynon Taff, South Wales.

Can anyone help me find the mother of Jannet/Jennet Jones?

Hi Curtis

How about ...............

1881 RG11 5298 126 8 - Civil Parish Llantrisant - Address Griffin Hotel
Janett Jones is an unmarried general servant 12yrs old b Gla? Yorkshire

1871 RG10 4207 69 19 - Civil Parish Preston - Address 3 Fleetwood St

Hi again

This looks like David Jones the father of Jannet/Jennett/Jeannette Jones etc .................

1881 RG11 5298 127 10 - Civil Parish Llantrisant - Address Gilfach Coch
Thomas Hathaway head mar 29 Gloucester Cheltenham - Colliery Lab
Sarah Ann wife 29 ? Somerset - Dressmaker
Thomas son 7 Ystradfodwg Glam
David Jones Boarder widow 46 Llangynwyd Glam - Colliery Lab - Coal miner
Lewis Jones Boarder 10 Lancs Preston
Edward Jones Boarder 24 Rowley Dudley Staffs - Colliery Lab

So it looks as though David is a widow but unfortunatley with a surname of Jones and a few possibilities on Freebmd I am struggling to find for certain a marriage for David Jones and Mary which would give her maiden name

Maybe someone else might be able to help although you could always order a copy of one the children's birth certificates which would give you Mary's maiden name.

Is this the correct certificate to order?

Births Sep 1869   (>99%)
Jones    Jeannette Anne        Wirral    8a   398

[Mabel Bagshawe]

this would perhaps be more likely for a Yorkshire birth?

Thank you, I didn't see that one when I was searching on FreeBMD.
