I am looking for the parents of David Lynch, born 15th July 1911, Dowlais, Wales.
Volume11a. Page 1753. District Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. MMN Thomas.
He emigrated to the USA in 1929, and married Elida Mary White on 30th May 1937 in New York.
I have found the marriage licence, his naturalization papers, his WW2 draft cards, but so far have not managed to find anything with his parents name on. The marriage licence only shows the name of the bridge and groom, I thought I might have been able to find more information about the marriage. Usually the US records are fairly good.
I have looked on Ancestry, FMP and searched for other members on here, for anything that would give me his parents names. (other than mmn of Thomas) .
I have all his history from his time in America until his death on 5th September 1991, at Harve de Grace, Maryland.
Unfortunately, he was born just before the 1911 census date.
I would be really grateful if you could just have a quick look for me to see if you can find anything, like for example a baptism record, or anything at all that would give either or both parents names, if not I will just order the birth certificate.

Yes.....could be.
I did wonder, but it was only a gut feeling that his Fathers name may have been Patrick, because he named his first son Patrick.

Thank you alviegal, I will have a look at that, I know the names Patrick John White and Elvira Hansen.
|
|
His given address when leaving UK was Pond Street as per 1911 census. but no 21.
|

Ok, thank you Kay. I do know they used to move about back then, but not very far, usually a few houses along, I have seen that a lot before, especially in Wales.
So, I think I can be sure now we are on the right track, thank you.
