Find Ancestors

Diane, I sincerely am grateful to you and all your help.
With all i have to go on i will be here forever. In the unlikely event you need my help obviously feel free lol.
You are amazing and ever so clever

many thanks
natalie

ok.. what you need to do now, is load all those people onto your tree, and check them on freebmd for birth reg's and potential marriage/deaths.

Look them up in the 1881 census to see what they were up to, too.

Then you can try to find the marriages of each of the couples, to get the mother's maiden names.

It's likely that Elizabeth Hole Pearce, had a mother's maiden name of Hole.

Enough to be getting on with?? lol

Once you've been through those, and got to a dead end again, post for another lookup.

You can also try www.familysearch.org for baptisms and marriages.

Have fun !

just thought of something maria died when my nan was about 10. which would have been about 1925/26

the cert says bedwas

probably the same?

George's occupation is a butcher's slaughterer though... :-s

Natalie, no, the loopy writing takes a while to get used to.

Does Maria have a middle name?

Not certain on any of the 1901c entries..

What county is Maria born in ?

willaim john pearce is 21 estimated dob 1889
maria davies is 22 estimated dob 1888
i cant even make out the church. is it just me ?

Ps ... I'll let you check 1881 (free)... I'll look on 1901/1891

I'll have a look in the censuses...

so we're after Maria Davies, with father George, and John Pearce, father George..

what ages are on the marriage cert?

The certificates have arrived. They are the right ones so thank you ever so much.
The certificates are so hard to read!
the marrige cert states that john william pearce residence panteg fathers name could be george pearce he was a labourer. it also says that maria davies father name looks again like george davies? furnace something? cant find anything else?
please can anyone offer me advice?

Diane
I have ordered them, dispatch date the 11th. I will let you know. I'm soooo excited!
once again thank you. i was reluctant to post because i didn't think anyone would be interested, but how wrong was I. I feel extremely humble and eternally grateful.
Speak soon, fingers crossed
