Find Ancestors

I have copies of Censuses of my GGF family up to 1891.They lived in Picton Square/Penydarren area of Merthyr Tydfil.In 1891 the family was George born 1869
John ......1870
Matthew....1873
David.........1874 married Elizabeth Morris 25/12/1900
Michael......1876
Thomas.......1878
James.........1879
Evan............1880 or1885
Sarah...........1884
Alice.............1886 married Jack Thomas 28/01/08
In 1892 their mother Leah died. I have found George Morgan on 1901 Census and my Grandfather David Morgan. Both my Grandparents died years before my birth.Alice didnt have a family so the trail is cold.Anyone with any bright ideas as to what to do next?

Thanks to everyone for looking. I can remember an Aunty Catherine Ann but never sure how she fitted in.The Michael Morgan connection seems to fit and everything else seems spot on

Hi John,

I have looked for the other marriages for the children but to be honest (as I am sure you know) there as so many marriages to choose from. Wonder if it would be worth emailing the registrar for Merthyr and asking if there is any way they could check the entries for marriage which you feel may be 'your' ancestors. You have the childrens dads name and occupation so that could be the ref check?

Thanks for all that.We are definitely one step forward thanks to you.
