OSMOND/ SCRIVEN/WILLIAMS - PONTYPOOL AREA ?
« on: Tuesday 07 June 11 10:01 BST (UK) »
Hi there
Just a few lines wondering if anyone can help with any extra info on this family
Selina Scriven born 1883 Alveley, Shropshire, married Joseph William Herbert in 1900. Between 1901 and 1914, they had five or six children - William Jack, Cyril, Henry George, Violet Kathleen, Wilfred and Nellie.
Then sometime between 1914 and 1919 the family move to the Pontypool area. Daughter Doris born 1919 (reg Pontypool)

Selina's husband died Joseph died around 1919 (also registered Pontypool) and Selina   marries a Mr William A Williams and they have a daughter Roma in 1922....

Violet Kathleen Herbert marries a Alfred H Osmond in 1929

Ring any bells with anyone ??  :) :) :) Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Alveleyhistorian, Have you looked at http://Http://freereg.rootsweb.com if not, put in Trevethin which covers most of the Pontypool entries, there is a birth entry for a child of Joseph william and Selina Herbert, and also some Scriven baptism entries.
Also try Abersychan which isn't far away?
The best part is its free and Trevethin is one of the better records.
Hope this helps Rowley
