I am looking for relatives of Margaret Rees who married Thomas Williams in South Wales in the late 1870's.

Going to need a bit more information such as have you got any census information or the marriage cert or how you have arrived at those names

Hi William, this information is a bit vague. There are a few Williams/Rees marriages around that time.
Please can you tell us what other information you have about them.

message from William


She may have had three or more children, two of whom were named Harry and Mary. They may have lived in Whitchurch near Cardiff.

I'm in Whitchurch and have the parish registers so will take look - I was also a Williams but do not think there is a connection!!

nice one Colin - my grandfather, David John Williams was the last superintendent of the Melingriffith tinplate works - there is however no connection with my Williams'

have asked William to return with some feedback

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 10 Jun 2011 21:33

twice now I have asked very nicely if William could return with some feedback - he has opened both messages so I am rather bewildered!!!

AnnCardiff

William is not too sure about how to return to this posting - so I have explained it to him and hopefully he'll make it back!! I'll keep nudging it until he does!!!

mmmm - will take another look in the parish records - I thought you had cracked it!!

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 11 Jun 2011 21:48

well the records seem to be pretty comprehensive with the burials up to 1932 and baptisms up to 1926

All I can find on Thomas Williams are four burials in 1873 age 63, 1878 age 65, 1898 age 77 and 1929 age 80

For Margaret Williams 1885 age 70, 1911 age 60 and 1924 age 71

all in Whitchurch
