Hi
I am searching for information on Muriel Fanny Stone, born 1905 in Bedwellty (she married William Watkins). The information I am trying to find is from the 1911 census.
At the moment a name and a year of birth are all I have.
thanks in advance.
Paul

Paul, it's Rootschat policy not to name any possible living persons. I have attached a link to Freebmd (not sure if you have used this site before.

If you click on births, surname Watkins, mother's surname Stone and years between 1925-1939 you should get 6 results. I think the first might not be William & Muriels.
Any problems get to to us.

Now I understand. To be honest, when you mentioned 1939 I thought something different. I thought that you meant that there was some sort of accident (war maybe) where several people were killed.
I have researched Muriel and her husband's lineage but never the Stone family itself. It came from a conversation with a family member who believes that Muriel and Doris had a brother who later died in some sort of accident, either involving a motorbike or a bus and he died whilst trying to assist in rescuing people from the bus. There is allegedly a newspaper article, I'm trying to find said article but I have no names or dates so that is where I am starting.

I gave you the name of the brother in reply no. 6 yesterday. The name was on Leonard's army records.
There was an earlier child as well Fanny Stone jun qtr 1904 Bedwellty mmn Lewis death registered the same quarter.
