Find Ancestors

Just found out for sure that bothers and sisters names of my gran where as follows:

Pansy
Alf
Iris
John
Olive (gran)
George
Clara - who i believe died in her 30's

I also remember that they celebrated there golden wedding anniversary
They were very much in love XX Oh im soo sentimental.

I have exhausted all avenues now though for new information.
But it does not seem to fit together doesn't it?

If you join Monmouthshire family history group online (no fee) there are many people on here that may be able to help (or may even be related)

its on yahoo groups under genealogy

Kath

I couldn't find Pansy or Alf.. and if they are definitely in that order, one of them may have been pre-marriage.

when was the golden wedding???? that'll give us a clue when to look for the marriage!

they must have married approx 1938/39/40. The order is guess work (apologies) and but i think Clara died fairly young?


I have also just found the monmouthshire family history so many thanks kath

I think the Iris and Olive records are sufficient to get that marriage record for Maria Davies and William Pearce.

To be 100% certain, you really should get Olive's birth certificate as well.

But at least then you'll be back to censuses which will be traceable by family, to get you some more information.

Good luck!

Natalie to double check the birth, did Olive die in Sept 1992?

I just want to say how grateful i am. I shall order both certificates tonight.

Natalie ... happy to help, I hope they are the right ones when they arrive!

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

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?

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?

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

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 ?

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 ?
