Hello,
I am looking for any information about the time they spent in USA and family information of Ivor Morgan and his wife Mary, & daughter Enid, who travelled to Pennsylvania and lived there between 1927 and 1933 before returning to Wales.
So, I thought perhaps, if I post the information below - which is all we have of this period of their lives -, it might be possible to find information relating to their stay in USA. Ivor was initially going to a Cousin, W.H. Kess or Kees, at 1273 Birbeck St., Freeland, PA. That's all I know about him.
I have details of their lives before and after the event in Wales and their family history, so it is just information regarding the Pennsylvania time that I am looking for.
Many thanks
