Ah! Marriages Dec 1881 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JERVIS Ellen Carnarvon 11b 761 JONES Griffith Carnarvon 11b 761 OWENS Jane Carnarvon 11b 761 Williams Griffith John Carnarvon 11b 761 Merry

If you can't read the occupation on the marriage certificate, then I would phone the GRO (or wherever you ordered the certificate from) and ask if they can tell you what it says or do a better copy for you. I have birth and marriage certificates where only the name a person is known by is on the certificate and not all names. Is there an address on the birth certificate (if you have this)? Who were the witnesses on the marriage certificate? Kath. x

thanks all i new where his birth took place by a family member. they cant remember much about him. thomas jarvis occupation was a miner his fathers occupation i cant understand its just a blur. yes merry thats his birth, sorry all the others are not him. fathers name griffith was his first name.

Landwrog (place of birth on the Thomas I found in 1891) is covered by Caernarvon registration district. Kath. x

Got him!! Births Mar 1888 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JONES Thomas Jervis Carnarvon 11b 416 Merry

Thing is, unless they used his middle name o the census , he'll just have been listed as Thomas Jones..... the sort of name nightmare are made of. i cant see his birth either

I hardly dare ask this, but is there an occupation for Griffith? And what about Thomas.....we could do with something really unusual like Rocket Scientist, or similar!! Merry
