Can anyone locate the marriage of a William Morgan "harpist"married about 1863-1868 either I believe in Aberdare or Merthyr . If found to whome did he marry. Thankyou Alun

Alun,
My g grandmother had a cousin called William Morgan who won the harp competition at the World Fair in Chicago in 1898. Is this your William Morgan?

Hi Debbie Thankyou for the reply . Family memories have always said that he did play in Chicargo . BUT according to my research I thought he died in 1891. Would be VERY INTERESTED n any information which you can supply me with. Regards Alun.

Alun,
If this is your William Morgan, I'm afraid I don't know anything about him or his family. All I have is a reference to a William Morgan in some family notes. The notes also mention that references were made about William Morgan in a book called' A Short History of Caerphilly' by H.P. Richards on pages 29(I think, not too clear), 35 and 63.
My g grandmothers family were Jones' and Wilkins'. If you do find a link I would love to know about it.
Debbie.

Hi Debbie, I will try and follow up what you have told me, but to be honest I have been up against a brickwall for about 3 years on my William Morgan. I will of course let you know if ever I find anything . Regards Alun.

Hi Alun,
Thanks for replying. I too will let you know if I come across anything that might be of help to you.
Debbie.
