I don't see a birth for this child. Could he perhaps be John Henry but known as Lewis ??

Mary Davies mms was Morgan - so a relative of Lewis?.

Lewis senior (Catherine's husband) was born in Llanwenarth - so a brother of Mary ?

Possible marriage of parents, if Catherine had been married before.

Right reg district for Grosmont where she was born.

Marriages Mar 1871 (>99%)
GWATKIN Catharine Hereford 6a 712
Morgan Lewis Hereford 6a 712

However, I don't see a Gwatkin / Cath* Price marriage - so maybe not.

Another male child of that couple ?? John Henry ????

Right quarter of right year; right reg district; right mms.

I saw that 1881, safc, but if that's the right Lewis, where is John Henry, who would then have been approx. 7 or 8?

Births of the two children above:

MORGAN, WILLIAM HENRY mms PRICE
GRO Reference: 1875 D Quarter in MONMOUTH Volume 11A Page 37

MORGAN, ELIZABETH ANN mms PRICE
GRO Reference: 1878 S Quarter in MONMOUTH Volume 11A Page 35

I'm not seeing the parents' marriage so far.

Thank you

Do you have the actual marriage cert?
If so, what other info is on it? Address / father's occupation / witnesses?

So far, I'm not seeing him before 1891, nor a birth reg to fit the POB and DOB.

This is the only John Morgan registered Monmouth reg district (which included Llantilio Crossenny) in the right quarter for an April birthday - but no middle name, and 1874, not 1873.

1901 and 1911 both suggest his YOB was c1874.


MORGAN, JOHN mms MORGAN
GRO Reference: 1874 J Quarter in MONMOUTH Volume 11A Page 31

But not seeing a marriage between a Lewis Morgan and another Morgan - at least not in Monmouthshire

Not seeing a Lewis Morgan with son John in 1881..

Iam looking to find the birth record of

John Henry Morgan, according to the 1939 Register his date of birth is 23rd April 1873. living at 76 Osborne Road Pontypool.

He married Rosa Beale in 1896 and his father was listed as Lewis Morgan.

The census records have him in 1891 Llanthewyvach Monmouthshire
John Morgan b 1874c Servant born Llantillio, Crossenny, Monmouthshire. also in house servant Rosa Beale his future wife.

1901 in Trevethin, and 1911 Pontnewydd, both show him as John Morgan born Llantillo,Crossenny.

Thank you for any help.
