Hello Jane, I have now talked to John's (mojo) brother and he tells me  that Thomas Morris was killed in action  Oct 1918 aged 29and his parents were James Morris and Ann. It seems he was born in Bargoed.
Now we are  armed with this fresh  info, can we see if we can find where James Morris family line originates from.
Hope you can help. Have fun at the fireworks party!

Warm Regards

Ken
