marriage of thomas owens and maggie jones
« on: Tuesday 25 April 17 12:07 BST (UK) »
I have a relative Ypres Ann Owens born 17th May 1916 to Thomas and Maggie Owens at 36 Wesley Street Caerau.
Her Mothers maiden name was Jones.I just can't find any record for the marriage of Thomas and Maggie.Thomas was a Colliery Labourer (Below Ground)and I  can't find any other children.  Ypres was later adopted and moved to North Wales.Any hints would be appreciated.

There is a Thomas J Owen (no "s") and a Margaret E Jones married Dec Qtr 1916 in Neath:

Surname    First name(s)    Spouse    District    Vol    Page
Marriages Dec 1916   (>99%)

Jone  Margaret E           Owen    Neath    11a   1621    
Owen Thomas J                   Jones    Neath    11a   1621    

Can't find any other matches for a Thomas with a Margaret or Maggie between 1910 & 1920.

As you, can't find many Owens/Jones births in Bridgend between 1915 & 1920 but there are a few Owen/Jones births:

Births Jun 1918
Owen    Audrey N J    Jones    Bridgend    11a   1714    
Births Sep 1919

Many Thanks for your prompt reply I will look at your suggestions. Doesn't help having two of the most common surnames in Wales.
