Do you know who Beatrice married?

PricklyHolly Report 19 Apr 2016 08:08

Unfortunately there are 2 births registered for a Clifford G Davies in the Apr/May/Jun quarter of 1912.....


Births Jun 1912 (>99%)
Davies Clifford G Williams Bedwellty 11a 144
Davies Clifford G Wilkes Pontypool 11a 401

(Another reason why a copy of the marriage cert would be helpful to you, as it will give you the name of Clifford's father)

This might be the death of the other one.......

Of course....as already pointed out....the only way to get real proof is to buy the certificates.

Good luck Jason

Do get back to us when you have a copy of the marriage certificate.

The witnesses on the marriage cert might be family members which might also be helpful.

Have edited my post, Jason. Of course I meant your Nan and not your Mum.

I would also advise you to get a copy of your Nan's Marriage Certificate as it will give her father's name and occupation.

Good luck.

Jason,

The best thread for posting this request is 'Find Ancestors'.

As a heading to your post it would be a good idea to put something like this:

JAMES, Iris M, Monmouthshire.

In that way people who may have a special interest in Welsh records will be more likely to read it to see whether they can help.

In the bulk of your posting do give as much information as you can eg your Nan's full name and date of birth as well as her sister's. Put your Nan's marriage details and her sister's too, if you have them. If there is anything you are unsure about, such as place of birth, mention this too.

I think the best way for you to go is to purchase a copy of your Grandmothers marriage certificate to Clifford G Davies.

The certificate should give you details of who her father was and his occupation.

(And also her middle name)

The best place to purchase England and Wales certificates is online here.....

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

It will cost you £9.25

I found this.

Looking for a marriage now if the above information seems right to you.
