Hi all

I can't seem to be able to find this family before 1939 (other than the mother in 1911); have tried both FindMyPast and A**y.   I wonder if someone could have a look for me as I'm running out of spellings / options    Here they are

TYDDYN PERTHI, GWYRFAI, (Nebo/Carmel area)
Richard Thomas 22/12/1892 Quarryman
Catherine Thomas (nee Jones) 30/05/1895 Home duties
Idwal Thomas 23/05/1917 Quarryman
Elfed M Thomas 26/06/1918 Quarryman
Nancy M Thomas (then Walters) 16/12/1920 Waitress

This info is from the 1939 (I hope I can publish if not please mods please let me know and I will amend. )

I know they didn't move from the area and had several other children after 1922 but they are redacted in 1939 so I need to go through births, etc which takes some time so  I haven't recorded in my tree yet...but nothing seems to come up for the older ones.  I'm going to go through electoral registers now to see what comes up.   

If someone fancies having a look around please do.

Thank you for looking

I’m looking for Jonathan Jones b. around 1834 parents I believe to be Thomas Jones and Mary ?.

I don't have a public tree on A* but will try to pop one up later this evening when I'm on my own laptop.

I can find him in the later census’ as well as his marriage on the 5th June 1853.   I do not have the cert as I only found it today but I’m pretty sure he’s the right one.

The children I have seen are Thomas, 1856, Mary A 1859, Edward 1862 (my OH great grandfather), Elizabeth, 1864, Miriam 1867, Jonathan 1870 and Ishmael 1870.
   
I’ve been able to track Edward’s family down to the present day as we are lucky enough to have an Aunt who is still alive in her 90’s and is happy to chat about the Jones’ family.   For info my OH descends from Edward’s son David Hughes Jones born 01/04/1900.  I've already discovered that one of Edward's sisters married another sisters husband after her death - how do I put that in A* .   

Have also been able to go back a couple of generations on Edward’s wife side as the marriages are in the parish registers and one of her witnesses was her sister.  Parents were I believe John and Jane Hughes in the Llantysilio Parish.

Anything you can find out I would really appreciate – I know that there are a few censuses missing around Ruabon but not sure which ones.

PS - the areas seem to be Cefn and Ruabon in Denbighshire and Pentredwr, LLantysilio, Denbighshire with a few of the really early ones around Corwen, Merionethshire.

Thank you very much

Hello all
Just received the 1934 death cert for my husband's grandmother who died 16 days after giving birth to his Mum, The cause of death is Puerperal Septic Intoxication; I'm assuming that it is Sepsis aafter giving birth but ond the description fascinating - does anyone know any more about this ?
Thank you

Good afternoon everyone a very quick question please.

Is it possible to distinguish whether a marriage took place in a church or a register office from the Marriage Index.

Great grandparents married in the Ffestiniog registration district during the Sept quarter of 1879.

Very easily found - Jeremiah Jones and Margaret Roberts both on FreeBMD and FindMyPast.  There's no parish marriage on FindMyPast but the area is very hit and miss as to which parish is there and what dates are on it.

Before I go to the expense of buying the certificate I thought I'd ask here to see if it was posible because if its a church wedding I still live locally enough to go and view the parish registers.   

Thank you very much.
