Baptisms in Cadoxton juxta Barry for Thomas Arthur Harding & Violet Harding 13 Sep 1897, parents Thomas Arthur & Margaret address 20 Llewellyn St.

Baptism for Grace Harding in Cardiff St John 22 Sep 1910 daughter of Margaret, no father noted, address shown as Union Chapel. Possibly workhouse?

Hi working on these baptisms are we therefore looking for a Thomas Arthur Harding?

given that Richard Tomkins only seems to appear on the 1911 census, there is a possible marriage

Margaret Harding june qtr 1913 Pontypridd vol 11a pg 894 to Richard Richards

With all due respect, from marriage certificate we know that Thomas Harding was 28 i.e. bc.1867, a labourer, son of a Thomas Harding, Cloth Maker.   As Thomas not located on census after his marriage to Margaret he could have been born anywhere.

Also, as he was just a labourer when he married, why is it thought he was the soldier born Bristol in 1891 (who was 5 years younger)?

Please see my reply #17 - unless other info is known that has not been posted I can't see how a birthyear and birthplace have been obtained unless it's based on an assumption that the 1891 entry is the right area so must be him??  However - that is 4 yrs before the marriage

From the details you gave for the 1911 on Ann Tomkins/Margaret Ann Harding, her year of birth is given as 1873. However on the marriage cert her age is recorded as 19 and therefore born c.1876 ???

All very much a mystery.

By doing a free search on the 1939 register there is a Thomas Harding b.1895 living in Llantrisant and Llantwit Fardre R.D with him is a Margaret Richards b.1875.

There is a marriage of a Margaret Harding to a Richard Richards -

q2 1913, Pontypridd
Vol 11a page 894

If you have access to the 1939 may I suggest you take a look as this could be Thomas Harding son of Thomas and Margaret and living with him is his mother. The record will give you Margaret's birth date enabling you to narrow down who Margaret was. I do appreciate that this does not help in finding out about Thomas Harding (father) but often some info can lead to other clues to the indentity of other family members.

Margaret Harding Married Richard Richards in 1913.
The mystery continues.??
Margaret Harding was  Mrs Tomkins in the 1911 census ??? with Richard Tomkins
Richard Tomkins was in a near fatal  colliery disaster in 1900  at Caradoc Colliery Glamorgan
Reading regarding this event Richard Tomkins was also known as Richard Richards. the second husband of Margaret Harding nee Davis.
Why did he have two surnames
And it a good night from me
