l am looking for the marriage of Rebecca Jones b.9/2/1881 Swansea - l believe it was conducted in Swansea approx 1905.

Can't see one in Swansea 1905 - any idea of the groom?
There is one Jun 1904
Groom either Thomas Burgess or Thomas Duncan.

The groom is in the title of the topic (William Henry S Bennett) :)
The 1911 census has them married for 6 years, so I am guessing that is where c1905 comes in.

Welcome to Rootschat :)
Curious as the marriage given by Welshjo seems to fit. Although the first born in 1911 census has Mmn Jones. Cannot locate marriage for couple William/Rebecca before 1911 or death of Lucy Bennett, nee Richards.

There is a possible marriage that would fit, but you would need the cert/s to prove/disprove. Your couple are still together in 1939 register.
