Presumably you have the 1898 birth cert?

My grandfather David Davies born on the 10th July 1898 in Llangeler Cardiganshire was the second eldest of eight children.
His mother was Frances whose maiden name on their marriage certificate (1895) was given as Frances Owens. On the same certificate her father's name was given as Thomas Stephens who was a butcher.
Many years ago my cousin drew up a family tree on which he scribbled that Frances was illegitimate. When I found this recently and asked him about it he had no recollection except that he understood Frances's father was a university professor.
Now I am looking in detail at my grandfather's line it has become clear that many of the eight children (my grandfather's brother's and sisters) have achieved beyond what would have been expected of a large family with two parents who were labourers/manual workers.
From what I know my two aunts learned to play the organ and played in chapel. My grandfather ( who is unlikely to have received a secondary education) passed his Inspectors exams in the police force. Another brother was also a policeman. Another was a bank manager and another a fireman. One died in infancy and another I have no information about.
Llangeler where the family lived is between two universities and so the rumour is not impossible to believe
I have no more information. I imagine that the only way I can take this further would be through a DNA test.
Does anyone have anyother ideas please?
