Unless he revealed any info then think its unlikely you will ever find out Joyce.

just in case i dont answer i,ll be gong back to bed as its 1,20 here in holland but if you need to ask me something i have everything in copys what you might need to help

yes it did say that as bachelor no my mum would,nt but there is none of the familys leave ,they have all post away,my dads grandfather came from Scotland and his family are all scottish
but nobody knew anthing about my dad as he only went to see one sister never said anything about his family ,i never seen any of them but she died and with having this brain problem i cant remember things,i did ask if anyone could find any photos of my dad and his family but there must have been none there ,only one i got of my cousin was my Grandforther in uniform as he was Seargent Major and he died 1918 age 45 they were last names Morgan

Got it now - you are thinking that as he was 39 when he married your mother, he might have been married previously, maybe in Australia or New Zealand?
Have you tried looking for matches for him and other members of his family with other members? Use search box above and click on 'search all member trees'.
I assume your mother had no idea about this, and there was nothing on the marriage cert, that is, he was recorded as a bachelor?

Hi Penny my dad was born 1896 and he maried my mum in 1935 Wales dont even no why my mother was there and she was born 1906

Jan i know everything about my fathers family and my mothers but i just thought he may have had one before me ,mybe im thinking it may not be no i have no reason its just the long time he was over there

Dutch, no problem, just trying to sort things out so we can offer some help.
As you are trying to find out more about your father's family, have you got your parents' marriage certificate? This should give his father's name which would be a start.

Have you got reason to think he might have had more children?

Jan

How old was your dad when he married your mum?

Jan sorry i had atroke last year and i have brain damage wear i cant remember things,but he goes my father died in 1954 and my mum in 1975 i think ,they never divorcedmy dad was born 1896,his parents got divorced his father was Sergent Major in the army,but my dad left because he was going to work on farm in Australia but the went into the army but some time after they sent him to prison becauses he went missing for 16 not sure if it was hours or days ,then when he came out of prison he went on ship to work and it went to New zealand .but i dont no when he lafter but i have got acopy from i think it ws from the army they sent the the presion aletter asking was my dad still there as they had his momey and medals,but they wrote and said my dad had gone on the ship,so i dont no how long he stated in New Zealand Joyce

Dutch, you might have to make this a bit clearer I think!

I am guessing this is what you are saying??

Your father Herbert Morgan was born in London, emigrated to Australia aged 18, then ended up in New Zealand.
He travelled to back to the UK at some point, ended up in Wales, where he met and married your mother.
You were born 5 years later.

You do not say when he was last heard of, when he was born, whether he and your mother were divorced and if so when, all of this would help people assist you.

Did his parents emigrate or just your father?

Jan

Hi hope this dos,nt fell abit stupid but as my father herbert or Bertie as his parents called him they were born in London,but my dad were to Australia when he was 18yrs ols then went into the army in Australia ,and when he came out went to New Zealand but he never met my mum from Liverpool met her in wales and they were married and 5years later i was born,so did he have anymore family or children so to ask but as beening the only child it went throw my head just wondering,his last name was Morgan
