Morgan MARTIN is commemorated on Trelewis War Memorial.
His details are recorded in the Parish War memorial register at St Mabon's Parish Church, Llanfabon.

Morgan Martin was one of five children that were born to Thomas and Ann Martin. Both Thomas and Ann originated from Midsummer Norton in Somerset and were born in 1847 and 1853 respectively. It appears that they came to South Wales as a couple with no children. All their children are listed as having been born in Pontypridd, Glamorgan.

William Martin - was born in 1879
Romeo Martin - born in 1881
Sarah - born in 1883
Morgan - born in 1887 (making him 30 years old at the time of his death)
Herbert - was born in 1889

In 1891 they are shown as living at:

6, Rhondda Road, Pontypridd.

By 1901, at the age of 14 years, Morgan Martin was in work as a servant at Dihewyd Farm, Llantwit Fardre which was owned by William and Gwen Williams.

I believe that later, he may have lived in the Trelewis area since his details are recorded on the War Memorial at Trelewis despite war records showing his residence as Nelson, Glamorgan.
