HeyJudeB4Beatles Report 16 Aug 2011 08:45

My husband's grandmother was married in Newport (Gwent) on 06/09/1930. She gave her age at marriage as 28 and her name as Winifred Florence Stoddart.

In 1911 census she is living in Christchurch in Newport, the adopted daughter of Martha Jane Stoddart. Her name is given as Winifred Florence Ellis, aged 8, born Barry Glam.

I have tried to find a birth record for her and the only one I come up with is is Q3 1902 - which fits with the marriage certificate and with the age at the 1911 census - registered Merthyr Tydfil 11a 832

I'd like to research her actual lineage as well as her adopted lineage (which I have been quite successful with). Before I get this birth certificate can anyone advise whether it is likely to be the correct one?

:-)
