 :)Hy wilcoxen The 1911 census says they were married 20 yrs but it also says Thomas was 61 in 1911 and on his death cert in 1918 he was 58 it must have been a mistake, also they had 9 children up till then but had 5
more up till 1913.     the thing im struggling with is no marriage cert for thomas and elizabeth!!!!             regards romangirl

Free BMD  has   this one in 1913
Births Jun 1913   
Walker  Madeline L S ,  MMN Silverthorn,   Llandilofawr  11a 2752

This is a mystery 

[romangirl]

   yes she  was Elizabeth,s  daughter Madeline Lavinia S Walker and she was born 17 May 1913
she was the youngest child, her mother died in 1917 and father died in 1918  and I agree it is a mystery!!       regards Romangirl

Hy the other thing i  found on 1911 census again Elizabeth is stated as coming from Leicester.
This just gets more mysterious by the minute!!!          regards Romangirl

Morganllan  Thank you so much for this, this is very interesting, I wish we,d have known about this as we were in Wales for a family visit, two weeks ago.  I will  have a look next time were in Wales, we live in Scotland. Kind Regards Romangirl

Regarding the photo of the Toll Gate, the 1911 cottage was extended in second half of 1980/early 1990s to include the inner two floor extension.
