My Welsh geography is completely hopeless and this is the wrong way round - but the date fits so I thought I'd post it:

Births Dec 1879 (>99%)

No its not my tree, i gave the person some details for my family as she said that she was related, the other info is right but i did tellher that the details for the parents i.e. Albert and Eliza was wrong, (as i have the marriage cert) and she said that they can be wrong........ if that is the case why cant i find the birth details, as i have said both certs i have state her name as frances elizabeth lewis but on the 1901 census her name is the other away round, husbands details correct so i know i have the right person
