Hey

My great grandmother was said to have inherited a coal merchant business? in Porth Glamorgan.

Her name was Sarah Morgan married name Davies was wondering if anyone could help me find out weather this is true?

Thankyou

Yeah, i know that she married John Morgan Davies and lived in either Dinas or Porth (which would come under Pontypridd)

This would be them:

Marriages Dec 1921   
Morgan    Sarah    Davies    Pontypridd    11a   1244   
Davies    John M    Morgan    Pontypridd    11a   1244    
 
Then they had 5 children, one being Daniel Davies. I know John was a soldier during ww1 aswell.

Hi
On the marriage certificate how old was john and sarah? did they give their adddress and what was John 's occupation , what was there fathers names and occupation. If you have this info have you found them on the 1911 census?
The info on the coal business may be on that census?
sometimes you have to go back to go forward.
The info you gave is to liitle with names as Davies and Morgan in Porth/ Dinas.
cheers cardiff

Hey

I unfortunatly dont have a marriage cert, this is all from family knowledge. They address was possibly 45 Aberrhondda road, Porth but im not 100% sure.

John's occupation could possibly have been a Coal Miner, have no idea of Sarah's fathers name but know that he also ran the Coal Merchant business so it would possibly show as Coal Merchant on the marriage cert.

This is most possibly John in 1911 (he was born in 1894 but this is nearest to him)

HOUSEHOLD   DAVIES   JOHN MORGAN   M   1895   16   Pontypridd   Glamorganshire

way too many Sarah Morgan's for me too possibly point out and i know little info on her sadly

Hi
To be sure who you are looking for it looks like you need some form of certificate the marriage certificate will give you all the info I have said , so if you want to find them its the only way.
I think Aberrhondda road is the road leading up to Ynyshir from Porth. if I'm wrong some one will put me right
cheers cardiff
