Find Ancestors

Yes i saw that one on Ancestry Lynne but some of the names dont match but then i thought maybe my dad got it wrong with some names ?.

I know Katie is right as Gwen's seconded husband mentions her a few times in his diarys. I wonder if Nan was Susanah ?

Other possible births?

no i only have Gwenllian Parry who was my grandma born 11.3.1912 my dad says he belives Gwen was the youngest.

no the only marriage i could find was the one you have but like i said not to sure about Catherines details.

If you can't find them in the census, how do you know that Robert John married Catherine Mary?

Where have you found that information?

You would have to buy the birth certificate to make sure it is your Robert John?

Do you have any information on the birth years for the children?

I cannot find a marriage for Robert John to Catherine???

Thanks Lynne will add that info to my notes. :-)

Robert John's birth??
Births Dec 1880 (>99%)
PARRY Robert John Bangor 11b 447

The district Bangor spans the boundaries of the counties of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire and Gwynedd

I have looked for along time but can never find any of them on the census

Robert John Parry abt 1880-1962-4 married Catherine Mary abt 1880-1 dont know if mary is her sir name or if it was Griffiths?. as i found a gwenllian birth been reg by a griffiths.

Children May,Nan,Katie,Blodwyn,Gladys,Gwenllian birth 11.3.1912 death 23.12.2003 and robert and Catherine lost 1 boy may of been called Matthew aged around 2.

I belive the family are from the Rhondda,Ystradyfodwyg area.

sorry its alot of maybe's but thats what i have to work with. I have been trying for a while but thought maybe some of you folks could give it ago for me please. :D
