Hi reggie,
Have checked the 1881 Census as suggested, only Margams I could find are down as Morgan, living with the Lewis fam. at 25 Picton St, Higher Llangynwyd.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Reggie,
We couldn't find a birth for her either, just her burial in June 1878 she was 2 months old according to the parish records. place of residence at time of death was shown as Taibach.

Hi Reggie, our replies have crossed, I have 'Margam' relies in my fam. tree (my gt g/father was Moses Margam).
We found Miriam in the burial records, whilst looking for other Margam relies.
Many thanks,

Unless this is it..............

Births Jun 1878 (>99%)
Morgan Miriam Pontypridd 11a 355

BUT.......her death was registered in Neath district..........

There is only one Margam marriage in Neath, and it is later than the child's death

Have you looked for Margams in Neath on the 1881 census?

Her birth cert will give you the info

How have you come across her, if you don't know the names of her parents?
