Megan McDonald
« on: Monday 02 December 19 20:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm researching a Megan McDonald who was born 25/12/1915 (I think).
She married William Williams and they lived in Menai Bridge.
They had a son William Wynne Williams born in 1937
She died in 2004.
I'm trying to discover her parents or anything else about her, but I'm having trouble. I don't even know if she was born in Wales...
Could anybody give me any more information or point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks
Richard

If son is still alive - please remove his name from your post as Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy

Buying a copy of the marriage cert will give her fathers name.

Have you tried looking for a birth on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.  If she was born 25/12 it’s likely her birth would not be registered until 1916

No, her son died in 1974.
Not sure when or where they got married either...

You may be a year out with her birth - possibly Christmas 1914 rather than 1915.

See www.freebmd.org.uk - March qtr 1915 b Carnarvon - mothers maiden name Williams

Birth already found - see earlier reply

Buying a copy of that birth cert will give her parents names

Megan’s marriage was 1936 but is shown on freebmd as MacDonald - in Carnarvon

Ties in with DragonT's info.

This was a civil marriage (North Wales BMD)  so you'll need to get the marriage certificate to get full details.
