John Henry Lewis Bn 9 April 1878. Cant find parents

[Chris5856]

John Henry Lewis was born on the above date in the town of Clydach in Glamorgan. His date of birth is confirmed on the 1939 voters register for England and Wales. His place of birth is confirmed on the 1911 census.

I have searched ancestry and Family Search and any other website that relates to Clydach for ages now and I cannot come up with parents for him. Other than requesting the the birth certificate from official sources, is there anywhere else I can look?

Have you John's marriage certificate to Mary Jane Powell in 1901 Neath. That should give details of fathers name and occupation.
