Any thoughts on John F Tombs?

ZoeCharles

ZoeCharles Report 18 Feb 2017 08:34

Yes I was talking about elizabeth's mum Elizabeth Parry.

On the 1911 Tombs Marriage, her Father should be Henry...(for Elizabeth)

Chris :)

ZoeCharles

ZoeCharles Report 18 Feb 2017 08:23

I think Elizabeths father might have been William Parry

Chris Ho :)

Chris Ho :) Report 18 Feb 2017 08:11

Maud, was probably the M on name of Sarah...

Chris :)

(on that Marriage Cert., who is Father of Elizabeth?)

ZoeCharles

ZoeCharles Report 18 Feb 2017 08:09

I can see Ethel (densley) and Sarah Ann Densley. I'm a bit confused. It is saying Henry was married to Maud. Would Sarah be another wife of Henry?

ZoeCharles

ZoeCharles Report 18 Feb 2017 08:06

Amazing. I think then their parents must be Elizabeth Parry and Henry Cocks.

It also says on the MC that James F Tombs was widowed

I think it says they lived at 7 Mackintosh place, Ystrad Mynach and it looks like he was a Timber man
