It is looking good, and we have the 3 votes in now. ;)

The only birth that looks possible is:

Births Dec 1910
MORGAN Olive A W. Ham 4a 257

So you need the Morgan-Peacock marriage cert to confirm her father's name -- and with some luck, a sibling may be a witness!

You're very welcome (from all of us I'm sure).

Just c'mon back to this thread when you get the certificate and let us know!

FreeBmd site shows at least 7 more children to this marriage + another 3 born in Merthyr T with same surname combination for parents.

Those ones in M.T do seem to be a continuation don't they Dea?

Lorna -- don't forget to gather up all the children's names and search trees here for them! (allow a little leeway for birthdates since descendants don't always get 'em right)

Hi All,

I am about to go onto GRO to order the cert. so should have it early next week. I will gather all the information up and hope that it may fit in with another tree/s somewhere otherwise I shall just add it to my own for others to find as and when necessary.

Thanks again and watch this space!

Hi All,

I received the Peacock- Morgan Marriage cert today. It confirms her father was a William (no middle name unfortunately so no extra clues for further investigation!!)

Witnesses were 'W C Peacock' which are the same initials as the grooms father, could he be a witness or is it more likely a sibling?
Also J/I M Carter I have no idea who that is-yet.

On the marriage cert it again clearly states her name as Doris Olive Morgan how or why would she go from being born Olive A Morgan to being Doris O???? Any ideas welcome!!!
Thanks everyone!!
