Hello people.
I am trying to find a birth or baptism record for William Morgan born in 1825 Cadaxton Glamorganshire Wales. There is a suggestion on Ancestry that he was born 5th May 1825, Cadaxton, Glamorgan, Wales - however the person on Ancestry doesn't answer my messages.
His father was George Morgan married to Ann Mandry (possibly 12 Sept 1821 Swansea). Can anyone advise me where to search please. Regards Elaine (Australia)
PS there is a marriage entry for a William Morgans and Elizabeth Harnold which may be their marriage bann
*where do i search for birth records prior to 1837. I know its parish records but I haven't searched back that far as yet. Appreciate any advice*
