Hi all

I have the marriage cert of Iris Mary Rowland  who married Gerald Thomas Woodfine in 1941, in welshpool. it says she was 21 years.

I found her death in aug 2002 which says she was born in  sept 1920, but have not been able to locate her birth, any help would be great


thanks

On the marriage cert, what was the name of her father?    We can try and find her parents first, to see the maiden name of her mother.

[silvery]

there's one of that name, but a bit early

Sept quarter 1904, district Neath vol 11a page 939

Iris Mary Rowlands

The death you've got seems to be for an Iris Thomas, no Mary.

Possible birth

Dec 1920
Forden 11b 270

Iris M Rowlands mmn Rowlands

[silvery]

Forden was renamed Welshpool in 1936.

Hello Welshspencer 

The birth found by silvery is likely, and Iris may have been illegitimate.

I can only found 1 death of Levi Rowland(s), and he died age 85 in 1930
