Title: Henry Croom married 1885 Treorchy. Help please!*COMPLETED*
Post by: Chasing-fireflies on Wednesday 24 May 06 12:31 BST (UK)
I am so stuck on this one. I have a Henry Croome(Croom) born about 1857 who married a Mary Ann Amos in 1885 at Pontypridd. I have all the details of these two and their children but i once thought Henry's father was William. After my Aunt has received the marriage certificate for them it now appears that Henry's father was in fact John Croome/Croom. We have no idea where Henry was born but the address for both of them on the certificate says 10 Dumphries or Dumphrey street ,Treorchy. (each put down a different spelling)
I would really appreciate some help finding out where Henry was born and possibly him on a census with his father. All help welcomed!!!!
 ;)

P.S) Henry does not seem to appear in 1881 as i think he may of been in the army at that time and i have searched but with no joy!
