John D or John Augden Humphrey
« on: Friday 06 October 06 04:36 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate any information on John D or John Augden Humphrey.  His estimated date of birth is 1872 in Wales.  That is the only information I have.  A possible birthplace is Langyfelach, Glamorgan, Wales.  As far as I know for sure, he must have been in the US in 1914 as he had a daughter born in Oregon in 1914.  Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Do you have any more clues? There are 3 John Humphreys born 1872 give or take a year in Llangyfelach. None of them have a middle initial. All 3 families are on the 1891 census as well. Only one of the Johns is on the 1901, but he's not with his parents so no knowing which one it is. Parents' names would be good but in the 3 couples there are 2 Margarets and 2 Philips, the other 2 being a Catherine and a William. As for occupations, one tin plate worker, one miner and one steel something who becomes a miner. So difficult to be sure

Thank you for your response to my request.  I have, subsequently, been sent information that the John Humphrey I'm looking for was born in Pennsylvania.  His parents were born in Wales.  I don't have their names yet and don't expect to have them any time soon.  I apologize for wasting your time.  Thanks again.
