Hopefully I am posting to the correct group.
According to a military record that I have for my ancestor, John Morgan, he was apparantly
born in the parish of Farden, Town of Welchpool in the County of Montgomery. The date of
the entry is March 1859 and he is listed as 20 years and 0 months old and his religion is
listed as Church of England. My questions are:
Is this location near the Montgomery that I see on a map near the Wales border with
England? My map isn't very detailed.
Do birth records exist for this period (approx 1839) for this area and how would I go
about getting the information from such a record?
I am told that he may have lied about his age to get into the British Army. He ended up in
India for 10 years before returning home.
Thanks for any assistance.
