Could this be "Maggie's" birth registration???



Births Mar 1901 (>99%)

Palfrey Margaret Pretoria Cardiff 11a 397





If you want my "gut" feeling ............


.......... Sarah left John Peard after 1891 and before 1895 when Lil(l)y was born in Cardiff.

She and Phil(l)ip moved to Cardiff together after she had left John..


I think you will find that the children born after about 1894 are Phil(l)ip Palfrey's

Julia - that is terrible!!

You asked in your opening post if Richard Palfrey who married Edith May Hardaker was the son of Philip. I think this is Philip's step-son in 1911:

PALFREY, Richard Head Married M 24 1887 Railway Porter Weston Bristol
PALFREY, Daisy Wife Married 4 years F 25 1886 Ts Southampton
PALFREY, Alice Daughter F 2 1909 Glamorgan Cardiff
PALFREY, Sarah Ann Daughter F 0 (5 MONTHS) 1911 Glamorgan Cardiff

Reference: RG14PN32149 RG78PN1847 RD588 SD4 ED17 SN382
Registration District: Cardiff
Sub District: West Cardiff
Enumeration District: 17
Parish: Cardiff

Address: 6 Lincoln ST County: Glamorganshire

I'm not seeing an obvious marriage ....

Hi MarieCeleste,
I meant to find someone that you are looking for is good but re reading
see your point, I have deleted.
Thank you for the 1911 census, yes I agree this looks like him.
Regards
Julia.

Julia - I meant your dreadful pun! :-)

I thought mine were bad !!

I think this is the birth of the youngest daughter on the 1911:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1910
PEARD Sarah A Cardiff 11a 447

and this is quite likely the elder:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1908
Peard Alice Maud Cardiff 11a 493

Looks like Alice Maud married as Palfrey - borne out by quite a well sourced tree on Ancestry (although they don't seem to have twigged on to her birth)

England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005
Name: Alice M Palfrey
Spouse : William J M Rees
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1927
Registration district: Cardiff

Julia, you're very welcome.

What direction are you wanting to go with this? Are any of these your direct relatives?

If you want any more info I'm happy to poke around but don't want to bombard you with info that isn't really relevant.

Hi MarieCeleste,
I am looking into Peard next, they are not direct.
Thank you for all your help.
