Please can you help me find the parents of Lewis Glyndwr (Glyn) Evans, born 27 Jun 1907 (ref. 1939 Register) in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales.

GRO online shows mmn as Thomas. You can use freebmd to look for a parental marriage
Have you looked for him on the 1911 census?
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1921547
These are the areas included in the Pontypridd RD
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/pontypridd.html
What name does he give for his father on his marriage cert?
-
Until now I haven't been able to find him in 1911 but I've just looked again and come across Albert & Elizabeth Evans at 6 Maindy Rd, Ton Pentre, Rhondda which is the town where he lived in 39. So this looks quite likely and something to explore.
I don't have a copy of his marriage cert.
Sorry if I've wasted your time.
-
No - you haven't wasted anybody's time. Unfortunately Evans & Thomas are very common surnames in Wales so it may be easier if you downloaded a digital copy of his birth cert which will only cost £3 but be invaluable to your research
