Title: Marks
Post by: TracyFromAus on Friday 14 September 12 13:15 BST (UK)
My great grandmother was born in Carmarthenshire. Her name on my grandfather Reg Emery (b.1899 Bristol) marriage and death certificates was Annie Marks. I have never been able to find any information on her except the 1901 census,  so I got my grandfather's brother Douglas Emery's birth record from England and his mothers name on it was Catherine nee Marks. (My great grandfather's name was William Robert Emery he was born in Cardiff) I can remember my grandfather calling a lot of the females in the family Annie so was this a common nickname?
Thanks Tracy

According to a tree on Ancestry (yes, I know! Treat with caution), Annie Catherine Marks was:

born 1865 Carmarthenshire, Cruwys Morchard (??? That's in Devon)
Married William Robert Emery
died 1906 London, March qtr, Lambeth


1881 census has this possibility?
Reference RG11, Piece 5277, Folio 155, Page 7
Edgcumbe House, Wellington Terrace, St John, Cardiff

Amongst the 13 boarders, all drapers assistants and milliners at David Morgan & Co, is:

Marke, Annie L  Boarder  F  16  Drapers Assistant  b Carmarthen

Annie Louisa Marks married Thomas Williams in 1884

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JV3Z-R87

1891 census RG12/4391 folio 142 pg 43 shows the couple with daughter Olive who was baptised in 1887

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VFHG-N4X

but there's a death reg
Olive Annie Williams 6 sept qtr 1894 Cardiff vol 11a pg 120

1901 shows Thomas Williams living with his sister but enumerated as married RG13/4986 folio 187 pg 19 so there may not be a marriage between William Robert Emery and Annie L.
