Alfred Edward is one of My Grandfathers brothers. We know when and where he was born from Parish Records and Census for1901(Berkeley Frome) & 1911(Clink Frome). We also know he was in the police Force in South Wales. He had a Son, William & a daughter, Winifred. We seem to be unable to Find who he married so cannot trace his descendants. I am trying to fill in the family tree downwards from my Great Grandfather and he is the one strand I cannot complete.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the children were born after 1911 then their mothers maiden name should appear on their birth registration/certificate.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

That is where the problem lies all we know is that he married a "Ginny" Or "Jenny" but that gets us no closer

Sorry when you said that you knew that he had children named William and Winifred I assumed that you knew where/when they were born.

The long winded answer will be to look on www.freebmd.org.uk to try to see if you can find the births of a William Smith and a Winifred Smith whose mothers maiden name was the same. Then it will be a case of trying to find the marriage of an Alfred E Smith to a woman whose maiden name matches that shown on the children's birth registrations.

Good luck
