I am trying to find the birthplace of William James Owen B1891-D1961 who from his marriage certificate shows Richard George Owen has his father. I know that William James Owen lived at St Glwadys Avenue in the Bargoed area [Rhymney Valley]. But I dont know if he was born in the area or his parents. Any help would be appreciated from census' of 1891 through to 1901. Thankyou.

marriage
Richard George Owen and Letha Bryant dec qtr 1888 Chepstow vol 11a pg 1
Chepstow is correct office for registrations in this area. I've spotted them in 1891 and I'll look further back to check father's middle name.

There are 2 William James Owens registered 1890/1891, one in Merthyr Tydfil, one in Bedwellty. Both of these died as infants. There are two more, one registered Neath, one registered Llanelly but neither leaps out of the census
as having father Richard.
