Very little is known about the elusive Evan "Taffy" Morgan. Here is what we know -

27 Feb 1896-1900 - born Cardiff

13 Nov 1922 - Enlisted RAN, NSW, Sydney, Service #13624;

9 July 1927 - Marriage, Hobart, Tasmania, aged 28 (YOB 1899)

19 July 1930 - Discharged RAN, NSW 

8 Feb 1936 - Birth of  daughter Jenniva, aged 40 (YOB 1895) - other children were Evan, Gwen & Mary (all born in Australia)

5 May 1941 - re-enlisted, DOB stated as 27 Feb 1900

14 Oct 1954 - President Cambrian Society, Hobart

1974 - died aged 78, Hobart (YOB 1896); NAA Death Record #13624 A8322/32347134

He may have been a merchant marine. His parents are likely to have been named Evan & Gwen.

It is believed he is from Pentyrch and his father was a miner.

With the very common name it has been hard to find any definitive information about him in the UK.

Any information gratefully received.

Thank you, Maree from Hobart, Tasmania (best friend and family tree keeper of Taffy's granddaughter Jo).
