Hi Barbara,
First, please note I posted this without seeing your last post.

I suspect the father was an Alec MORGAN given the information on the PR. Yes the parents don't appear to be married but its reassuring to see the father is named on the PR, unlike many I've seen.
Could this be Alec I wonder, from this site's PRs ?. I think Alec's quite a rare Forest name which is helpful, I think this is the only Alec Morgan in the database, and he is the right age and approximate locality.

Searching thro FreeBMD etc etc I see this name is quite common just across the border in Monmouthshire eg Newport. It's also occasionally spelt "Alick".
