Which birthcerts have you obtained, so can rule out?

What was Robert snr's occupation on his marriage to Gladys? May help find him on census.
It might also give his age.

All these points would help....

It's his mother's name that is the problem And death certificate as well. But thank you.

What is the problem with the death certificate?

NSW certs include mother's maiden name, assuming the informant knew it, of course.

Jamjar = Could be that curlytop2 is saying they have the 'death certificate as well', it's a bit ambiguous.

Curlytop2 - do you think that Newcastle was NOT mother's maiden name?. Crossed out as  wrong interpretation of death certificate info, sorry.

Hope you can answer the questions we've asked as all will help tie down the family & hopefully get more pointers & proof of mother's maiden name.

Josey, ambiguous yes.

NEWCASTLE is the place of death registration. Robert lived in the area.

And maybe for the back burner just because the name fits for Robert snr:
North Wales Chronicle 18 Feb 1888:
Robert Harold Williams, son of the late Robert E Williams solicitor Rhyl....passed final [legal] exams with honours for admission to the roll of solicitors in the Supreme Court...articled to Albert Saunders of Stocks, Saunders & Stocks, London.

This Robert Harold presumably born ca 1863  ??? I don't know how long legal training took then.


Ah no, I found this RHW in 1901 unmarried solicitor & 1911 married solicitor both in London.

ADDED: Another try for the back burner  ;D

Robert Jnr was a miner, so possible father was also.

I wonder if you find Mary Thomas his wife on a census, Robert might be nearby. Mary's brother was William Thomas. He and Robert are buried together.

William Thomas born 1900.

In 1917 Pontypridd, RH senior married his second wife Gladys Jenkins b abt 1896 , a friend of my grandmother's and the same age , causing a little family friction . They had 2 children Roy b1920 and Melba b1924 , both born in Pontrpridd .

If Melba died unmarried prior to 1991 (and so included on the 1939 Register) then you will find her and Gladys together using the free search.

Gladys C C    Williams    1898    Rhondda U.D.    Glamorganshire
Melba E    Williams    1924    Rhondda U.D.    Glamorganshire

Gladys may have been Gladys Cecilia C JENKINS born 1898 Pontypridd.
