A tree on ancestry has his parents as Gwilym Williams and Lucy ann Rees

No marriage found though

Name: Gwilym Williams
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Death Registration Place: Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, United Kingdom
Death Date: Dec 1908
Inferred Death Place: Glamorganshire, United Kingdom
Volume: 11a

But the best bet is to get the birth cert to see parents names

Census info shows his father to be DAVID. Ancestry trees are not always to be relied on………..

There is a possible marriage on freebmd. David Williams and Ann Rees, but Dianna needs to do some careful research, for which certs are essential.

HEDGES, ROSE MARY WILLIAMS
GRO Reference: 1893 S Quarter in CARDIFF Volume 11A Page 278

I am well aware ancestry trees may not be correct

Depends how well some have researched

My ancestry tree IS accurate cos I have done extensive research backed up with certification!

So don’t dismiss all of them

People can make mistakes but also some records although ? turn out to be the correct

Get his birth cert to check his parents names

Thanks for your help and advice I will try for a birth cert hopefully it will put me on the right track.

Obviously connected............

Who are you trying to trace?
What are your trying to prove?

Tell us what you KNOW to be 100% accurate about Lucy Ann Rees. It doesn't appear that you have her in your tree on GR, so how is she related to you?

One certainty - if she used her correct forenames. she didn't marry the father of Morgan Rees Williams

Whoever that woman was, she was dead before 1911 census was taken
