Hi, I am new to family tree research. My maternal Grandmother is Edith Hill (maiden name Lewis). From Pontypridd. she was born in 1940. she married Richard Hill in 1960. She died in 2005. I've gone fairly far back with her family.
I am stuck on tracing Richard Hill. As I never knew him and my mother has passed away. There is nobody in her family I know who I can contact to ask.
I was wondering if anyone recognised the names. Richard and Edith lived near Dinas Powis in Glamorgan.
I am struggling to locate when he was born. I am stuck as his death could be 1987 0r 1985 in Glamorgan/East Glamorgan. I do not know who Richard Hill Parents were.
Can anyone look up for me, or offer any help? I'm trying to learn about my late mum's family.
Thanks, Kelly

Hi
Think you mean Richard Hill
I do not know who Richard Lewis Parents were.
You need to buy a copy of the 1960 marriage cert to establish how old Richard was at that time and his fathers name and occupation
Apart from your mother - were there any other children born to Edith & Richard who could help with info?

The likeliest death given Edith's birthyear would be the one in 1987 - born 9.7.1939. The death in 1985 was born 1912

Possible marriage for parents but you still need to confirm his fathers name by buying a copy of the 1960 marriage cert

Thank you Carole W. I have no contact with my late mum family to ask. Edith Lewis died may 2005. I only found out via doing my family tree she had died. She was born boxing day 1940.
My grandmother on my dad side thinks Richard Hill died 1985. She is not 100% sure. My sister was born in 1986 and she never knew him. I will get the certificate. Thanks for advice.
