Hi
I have a John Morgan Worthington for whom I have a Birth Certificate. The details given
were he was born on 25 Apr 1888 in Upper Boar (Boat) Inn, Llanfyllin, father John
Worthington - Farm Labourer, Mother Jane formerly Richards of Pontrhydygroes. The birth
was said to be in the sub district of Llansaintffraid, Reg District of Llanfyllin, but how
this squares with the place of birth I am not sure.
At present I am trying to trace the marriage of the father John Worthington to Jane
Richards, so far without success. I found 3 possibilities in the Free BMD project. They
are June 1879 Qtr ref 11b 214 Newtown, Mar 1887 Qtr 11b 223 Newtown & June 1888
Qtr 11b 343 Llanfyllin. When I tried to clic on to the ref no to see if one of these
marriages had the required Jane Richards name I kept getting an error message. I
didn't have any luck on the IGI either.
Would someone be kind enough to do a lookup to confirm a correct date. I would also be
very interested in the parent details of this marriage. As a matter of interest John
Morgan emigrated to the USA arriving at Ellis Island on 28 May 1911 on a ship called The
Baltic. I have the details off the passenger list and manifest but have not located him
in the USA.
Regards
David
