Hello, Thank you so much for the information. I had got Eliza´s husbands name wrong, that is why I have met a brick wall. You really have been helpful. Many thanks.

If that is your Emily & Eliza's family, then the second couple on the 1901 census are yours and Emily Morgan became Emily Jones.

Ordering Christopher J Jones birth cert should confirm this !!

The marriage....

Marriages Mar 1898

Jones John Frederick Cardiff 11a 391
Morgan Emily Cardiff 11a 391


Christopher's birth?

Births Dec 1898

That is fantastic, my Emily was born in Cwmbran so it definately is the right family, that is brilliant. My Mothers father was William Morgan with siblings Emily and Eliza and now they have other siblings due to your help.
My Mother and her sister were the illigitimate daughters of William Morgan and mother was born at 12 Tin Street Cardiff. His partner was Mabel Follows. It has been difficult for me to trace my grandfather as he seems to have disappeared since 1923 and no one in the family remembers him. Mabel went on to marry a Joseph Okeeffe in 1926 having been previously married to Arthur John Hooper in 1916 so during 1920-23 she must have had a fling I dont expect I shall ever find out.(bit of a scandal I should think) But you have filled in some blanks for me and I am really excited at finding this branch of the family.
I will have so much work to do now filling in my tree, you are a star.
cheers Pauline.
