If this man is your grandfather do you not have your parents place and date of birth?
Or the birth cert of your parent to give you both the parents names?

You say..
I dont have anythig on my Grandmother either except her marraige cert so that means i dont know where they were born ?

So if you have your grandparents marriage cert when did the marriage take place and what was your grandmothers name ,then we may be able to find the correct John Colley if we know his wifes name,and there fore both of Nellies parents names.
Or do you mean that JohnLewis Colley is your Greatgrandfather.

Trying to find my Grandfather this is what I know
He was dead by 14/03/1930 and his occupation was a Coal Trimmer.
I know this as it says so on his daughters (Nellie Colley, Born c1911) marraige cert 14/03/1930
Now there is a John Lewis Colley born 1890 Tenby, Wales
Which i think is him but i havent got the 1911 Census.
I can see him on the 1891 & 1901 Census but then lose him ?
Does he have a child Nellie in the 1911 Census is he still in Cardiff ?
I dont have anythig on my Grandmother either except her marraige cert so that means i dont know where they were born ?
But im looking into this 1891 / 1901 FELLA
CAN YOU HELP ?
