hi kath

I don't really know - this is why its so confusing.

He married using the campbell surname in 1909 and by 1911 on the census was back to john morgan!!??

John & Alice's children go by the surname "morgan"!

Celticqueen :-S

Could his parents have split up and he was therefore known by his mother's maiden name but when he married decided he had better use his "proper" name Morgan?

Hi there Maura

It's Alice's husband birth details i have got from ancestry ireland.

Birth Recorded as John Morgan.
says father F Morgan, Mother, Mary Campbell.

Comments on the bottom of the birth details say:-

Rev J Mcwilliams married alice graham and husband also known as john campbell.

I have john campbell (not morgan) & alice graham marriage details from ancestry ireland too.

Just wondering why he married under the campbell surname?

I'm a little bit confused is it Alice husbands birth you got or their sons, either way what else does it say.

Perhaps if you order the two marriage certificates it might shed some light.

Hi there

I wonder if some kind person with knowledge of irish records will help me with this please.

I had been looking for over 12 months for a marriage of John Morgan to Alice Graham in 1909 (info found on irish census 1911).

The only marriage i could find on ancestry ireland was a John Campbell to Alice Graham in 1909 Co Down. I decided to get "John Morgan's" Birth info from ancestry ireland- and this is what i found on birth details: John Morgan married Alice Graham - John Morgan also known as John Campbell?

On ancestry ireland his parents marriage is a year before.? So what i'm asking is why John married under the Campbell surname?
