Williams look up

[palmerfamily]

I've ordered the birth certificate for my great grandfather Haydn H Williams born 4/2/1912 married Mary E Down in 1933, but as you all know the time we wait for certificates is crippling so I was just wondering if anyone could help me narrow down my options on Haydn's mum and dad...

mother's maiden name Price

if you look for a Williams to Price marriage in the Merthyr Tydfil registration district between 1901 and 1912, there are 31 instances of a male Williams with a Price on the same page. Unless you have more info, looks like you'll need to wait the few days that the GRO takes if you're in the UK.

Thankfully I am in the UK so wont have to much of a wait 

Thank You

You probably know this, but his full name per GRO was Haydn Herbert Williams.

Yes Haydn Herbert Williams I just realised I only put an initial in original post 

Thank you

You may therefore want to make a note of the marriage of Herbert Williams to Sarah A Price in Merthyr Tydfil in 1910, in case Haydn's middle name was after his father.

Thank You

the other pair - Herbert Gough & Florence Highfield- on the page of marriage registrations are a couple, there are births for Gough children with Highfield as mother's maiden name. Luckily, Herbert Gough isn't a common name and he's in Gelligaer in 1911

So you could look for your couple in that area. There's more than one Herbert Williams.
