Member Since: May 2009 Posts: 45 Send Message	I am looking for various Parry siblings born in Pontypridd anytime between 1910 and 1930ish. The ones i already know are definitely right are Martha b1902, Mary b 1907. Irene b1908 Edwin b1909 and Morfydd b 1919 all born in Pontypridd Their parents were Edwin Parry b1880 in Pontypool and Rachel Lewis b1883. in Pennsylvania The family stories say there were about 14 of them so i am missing quite a few! I have looked on freebmd and have searched for all Parrys with mothers maiden name Lewis in Pontypridd between 1910 and 1930 but dont know any of the names of the siblings. any ideas how i find the right ones?!

	Seems like there should be some more between Martha and Mary. Have you looked at the 1911 census to see how many they had? Rose

Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 5,644 Send Message	As Irene is missing from the 1911, I wonder if this is her death? Deaths Mar 1909 (>99%) PARRY Irene Maud 0 Pontypridd 11a 412 Possible birth? Births Jun 1908 (>99%) Parry Irene Maud Pontypridd 11a 764 FreeBMD has many possible births for Parrys between 1911 and 1930 with mothers maiden name Lewis b Pontypridd, so cannot tell likely siblings.

Member Since: May 2009 Posts: 45 Send Message	ah yes it seems you are right about thomas, the Irene issue is a little iffy, i now dont think she is the right one. I do know there was definitely a Irene or Rene as one of the siblings but have no idea when she was born or even if Rene was her real name. My grandmother remembers having an Aunty Rene, an Uncle Sibo (Sybo?) an Uncle Gwen and Aunty Lizzie who was the youngest. i cant find a record of them anywhere. How would i find the name of the child that died before 1911? thanks for your help!

One possible way is to check for Parry children born in Pontypridd between Sept 1900 (the marriage) and March 1911, then try looking for deaths of any of them.

	Sibo?: Births Dec 1915 Parry Cyril H Lewis Pontypridd 11a 1257 Rene? Births Jun 1917 Parry Agnes I Lewis Pontypridd 11a 1186 Lizzie? Births Sep 1922 Parry Elizabeth Lewis Pontypridd 11a 1246 Rose
