Ada's parents and siblings if possible please.

[Cienna]

Hello,

I am trying to find parents and siblings for Ada Joy WATKINS, she was born about 1890, place of birth unknown, she married Wallace John DAVIS around 1910 Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, England.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Cienna

Hi

If you check the 1911 Census it shows her as Ada Jane not Ada Joy.

There is an entry on the FreeBMD Birth Index for an Ada Jane WATKINS born Ross 1890.

Hi Karenlee,

Thank you for your help, I was told Ada's second name was Joy but I was having trouble finding anything so maybe it is Jane after all, will talk to her about it.

according to the census post by  Karenlee .. Ada Jane Davis ( nee Watkins ) was born in
the Parish of Ryeford , Ross,Herefordshire...is Ryeford a village ?? 
just checked ...yes - Ryeford is a village

Wow, so my friend is mistaken, thank you so much for that correction Karenlee and for verifying it garstonite, I appreciate your time and effort, are there parents for Ada and any siblings please ? would really like to help her find anything on her family.

Cheers

Hi

The only way to be really sure is to order the Marriage Certificate using the reference details that you can find at FreeBMD. This will give you Ada's father's name.

However, this might be worth keeping as a "just in case" piece of information.

Be careful as in next Census Henry T is Thomas Henry born c 1862 Kings Caple.
This leads to this Marriage;
FreeBMD, Sept 1883, Newent 6a 443
Thomas Henry WATKINS and Eliza MEEK
