Searching for parents of Thomas Morgan (my great-grandfather, born c1859). They came from Bala area (Llanwchllyn, I believe), and lived for a time between Bala and Ruthin. Thomas married a Julia Williams, and had Edward (my grandfather), Tommy, Johnny and Jenny/Jinny.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

A copy of their marriage certificate should reveal some details about Thomas's father:

Thanks Tania.
This looks like my bunch. I can only go as far back as Thomas and Julia, but would like to trace Thomas's parents etc. I believe Thomas was disowned when he married Julia (as she, like her mother Elizabeth Williams (Cerrigyddrudion area), was apparently illegitimate - so no joy there.
If you can shed any light beyond Thomas's birth, many thanks. Otherwise, still grateful to you for trying.
best wishes

Carole, you need his marriage cert. Without that to give us his father's name no-one can be certain of above information.
