Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me, please.
I have been compiling my family tree on and off with my father for many years and recently went back to my maternal side of the family.
We had gathered a lot of information from family members that are no longer with us and never got my great grandfather's birth certificate because my nan knew everything about him, however, we decided it would be a good idea to have a copy in our files.
Sydney George Morse born abt 1885 Swansea, Glamorgan (My Grandfather), married a Mary Gwendoline Barlow. I was always told (and have their marriage certificate) that Sydney’s parents were William Morse (1837) and Annie Marie Wheeler (1848), however, after requesting the birth certificate of the only Sydney George Morse who was born in the correct area and birth year states his mother’s name was Ann Williams, but the father’s name and occupation were correct.
This is now making me doubt all previous research for Sydney’s ancestor.
I thought maybe Annie had been married before, but the marriage certificate says she is a spinster. I am really confused.
Can anyone suggest where I go from here? or has anyone else researched the same Morse family tree?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
