Re my grandfather Trevor Preece, I do have his wedding certificate and the father is named as John Preece, Locomotive Engine Driver. The date of his marriage certificate was 1908, married in Llansaintffraid, Montgomery and Denbigh. I can only assume he was adopted by his grandfather (John Preece) who was Mary's father. I really don't know whether Mary had any more children or if she did ever get married. My mother seems to think that she was living in Cardiff around 1946, the year of my birth.
Many thanks for your info.

Looking for information on my grandfather Trevor Preece born 13 October 1882, Cowbridge, mother Mary Preece daughter of John Preece, Blacksmith. On his birth certificate the space for the name of the father is blank. I was wondering if there is anyway I could possible trace who his father was. Living in Coventry and,unable to drive it makes it difficult for me to visit the Local History Office.
PS My grandfather was a stylish cricketer who played for Glamorgan and a few of the local Cowbridge teams. He was a well respected head groundsman at Cardiff Arms Park in the 1930's.

Hi Matt
Many thanks for your quick response. I have William Morfill's discharge papers which I obtained from the National Archives. Unfortunately, there was no information on his Parish, his town or his county, all stated as unknown. The information I have is:- Regiment The West Kent Militia and from what I understand these were the forerunners of the Territorial's in so much as if the regular army were away fighting, the Militia would take over their duties.
Many thanks for your reply and I'm hoping someone can come up with his history prior to him joining the regiment in 1790 when he was around 20 years of age.
Once again, thanks for your reply.

Kent / William Morfill
« on: Monday 11 August 08 10:12 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information with regard to William Morfill who was born circa 1772, died 1841 aged 69. He joined the West Kent Milicia in 1790 aged 20, serving 39 years, discharged May 1824. Unfortunately I am unable to ascertain where he was born.
I wonder if anyone can assist me in finding out his history before he joined the army. I live in Coventry and I am related to William Morfill on my mother's side. I am unable to drive so therefore find it difficult to visit the Local History Centre.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
