Glamorganshire / Re: Horrell/Reeves

Thank you so much. We have so little information on her that we couldn't decide on where/when she was actually born or where she was buried (or even died) I'll follow this through and sees where it all ties up. I think we have been looking in entirely the wrong place all along!

Glamorganshire / Horrell/Reeves
« on: Sunday 27 December 09 20:32 GMT (UK)  »
My Uncle Montague W Reeves (1869-1922) had a liaison with Sarah Horrell (1903- 1933) that produced a son Gethyn (1919-2000) born in Derbys where Monty also died. Gethyn has two daughters who are keen to trace their grandmothers grave somewhere in the Merthyr district. She went on to marry so died as Sarah Drayton. As there are living relatives who do not want to persue Sarah's past is it possible that there is someone who knew her (maybe friends or other relatives) who passed information on? The daughters do not wish to intrude - they just want to learn more about their grandmother.

Wales / Adams/Hunt
« on: Sunday 27 December 09 17:17 GMT (UK)  »
My grandmother was registered as Sarah Jane Adams in Neath 1880 but she was illegitimate and her fathers name was Hunt. Problem - was it the other way round? My grandfather Isaiah Jones was a strict Methoist and their marriage (1902) implies that she married as Sarah Adams. Her first child Winifred (born in Wales 1905) has Adams on her birth certificate but my mother's has Hunt on hers! I know that she was adopted out but to whom? Adams or Hunt? They started married life in Wales but moved to Doncaster, Yorks where my mother was born (1913). Can anyone throw any light on this. I'd love to know more about her.
