Maria Rhoda OR Rhoda Maria Milward b1878

[Nimchimpsky]

Hi All

Question ... "What are we going to do about Maria?" 

I have found a relative who, depending upon which records you use, can be either:
Maria Rhoda Milward OR Rhoda Maria Milward (I've also seen Millward ... with the two L's in the sirname)

Maria OR Rhoda was born in 1878 in Ross on Wye, Herefordshire. She married William S Jones in 1910 in Swansea, Wales ... but I cannot locate her in any 1911 census (to see if they had any children and the birth details of husband William S Jones).

Can anyone please offer any help with the 'missing' details for me?

Many many thanks in advance of any help.

Kind Regards
Nimchimpsky

Are you certain you have correct marriage ?

There is this possible marriage
Sept qtr 1910
Swansea
on same page
Maria R Millward
George L Wooldridge
11a 1803

We are not allowed to do 1911 look ups - but you can search the index free

I think George L Woolridge used his middle name of Leonard

I think Douglas Marshall Wooldridge was Rhoda Maria & George leonard's son
Birth reg  -Dec qtr 1918 Swansea - can be seen on FreeBMD

and it looks like he died in 1993

Death reg
Douglas M Wooldridge
born 11 Nov 1918
death reg Oct 1993
age 74
Bishop Stortford
Herts
29C 5281 221

It looks like he was married at least one time - cannot post details in case wife still living

It looks like Rhoda and George Leonard had another son
Gordon C Wooldridge birth and death reg 1917 Swansea


Don't think Arnold Leonard Wooldridge was a son - his mother's maiden name seems to be Williams - birth reg 1915?

Brilliant!

Thanks so much Suz & down under. Seems I was barking up the wrong tree on this matter, you've done me proud, thank you both.

Kind Regards
