Please can you help me find the parents of Lewis Glyndwr (Glyn) Evans, born 27 Jun 1907 (ref. 1939 Register) in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales.

GRO online shows mmn as Thomas.  You can use freebmd to look for a parental marriage

Have you looked for him on the 1911 census?

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1921547

These are the areas included in the Pontypridd RD

What name does he give for his father on his marriage cert?

[clarksparks]

Until now I haven't been able to find him in 1911 but I've just looked again and come across Albert & Elizabeth Evans at 6 Maindy Rd, Ton Pentre, Rhondda which is the town where he lived in 39. So this looks quite likely and something to explore.
I don't have a copy of his marriage cert.
Sorry if I've wasted your time.

[CaroleW]

No - you haven't wasted anybody's time.  Unfortunately Evans & Thomas are very common surnames in Wales so it may be easier if you downloaded a digital copy of his birth cert which will only cost £3 but be invaluable to your research

When you have his parents christian names you may then be able to find him on the 1911 census - but if not - just use this same post to give details & we can look for you

[CaroleW]

Do you know if he had any siblings?

[softly softly]

He can be found in 1911 & 1921 census as Gwyndwr Evans. His address at birth was 28 Parry Street. Parents Thomas & Sarah.
