I think the birth reg in dec qtr is likely too, so have ordered the copy. Hoping to find out her mothers maiden name so I can go a bit further ( hope its not Thomas tho! Lol!!) Thanks for the help everyone . Still stuck on Joseph! The prob with the welsh( no offfence) is they very often switched their first names around. ( I know my dad and his brother did)  so sometimes you are looking for the wrong christian names!

At a standstill again. Cant make out who was married before, my Greatgrandmother or Greatgrandfather! Will push on with the thomas side now, though not sure which Joseph Thomas it is. On the website where you pay to view, can you see the original document or does it just show the entry qtr etc.?

Do you mean the 1911 census?

10 credits gets you a transcription of the image which you can print  and 30 credits gets you the original image completed by your ancestor which you can download to your pc  and print off

no sorry. Didnt explain that very well. I mean on the birth certificates. Or do I need to order the original? Its just that there are quite a few Joseph Thomas' and I dont want to order the wrong one. I know his fathers name was Hugh w Thomas, but that obviously doesnt show up on the one you can look at free.

Members of the public do not have access to birth certificates - what you see for free online are christening entries or the reference on freebmd to enable purchase of a copy

The free 1911 index has only 3 entries for a Joseph Thomas with a father Hugh

2 had middle christian names and just one was Joseph aged 3 living in Pontypridd

There is a 1906 marriage for a Hugh Wathen Thomas in Lampeter but using the 1911 formula shown above does not show a Joseph Thomas in the same household
