I am trying to find more info on my great grandfather''s side. He was David William Morgan who married Catherine Rees and had 10 children, William, David William, Martha, Margaret, Namorryd, Ittlyd, Edward, Maldwyn, William Aldwyn and David Glyndwr (My grandfather). I know from David and Catherine's marriage certificate that both of their fathers were William, but have been unable to track down either of their birth certificates so far. Any help on these Morgans would be very very much appreciated.,

There are 4 possible births for a ,catherine rees, in the reg district of dolgelly on ,,freeBMD,,
No Kates at all, so she obviously prefered to be known as Kate.
