Searching for Felix in Montgomeryshire.
« on: Saturday 04 January 14 07:46 GMT (UK) »
We are researching another line of our family now.
However it's quite difficult to search as the surname is Felix and, as you can imagine, we get lots of leads for Felix as a Christian name.

I know that's not unique to us, but do you have any idea how we can narrow down the search please?

I might find it easier on my PC than my iPhone.

We have John Felix. b. 14 April 1862 in Gareg?
Mother Ann Felix. No father recorded.


Any help would be appreciated as we are in Australia now

Many thanks.

Happy New Year.
