Hi, Maybe you have already found the answer to your question about Sarah Price (b 1837ish) but I believe her to be my great great grandma. She married John Edge (1837-1904) and they had seven children of whom I am aware : Alice 1858, Emily Martha (my great Grandma b1867), Charlotte Ellen (b1870), Maria (b1872), John Henry (b1874), Annie Elizabeth (b1878) and William Richard (b1880). I am not sure why there is such a gap between first and second children.
Apart from the coincidence of a child called Charlotte, as was Sarahīs mother, I find that in the 1871 census both this family and the family of Bartholomew Price (her brother b 1831) are living at 15 Bell Lane, Ludlow St Lawrence so although I have not yet found a marriage cert for John and Sarah I am reasonably confident that I have the right person.
Hope this helps, Regards  Gareth Jenkins

Thank you one and all! I have now had time to digest all of this info and it does seem very likely that my great uncle was the Tudor Christmas Williams discussed. A family member has left a note that Tudor was on minesweeper duties during the war (and became an engine driver later), so that ties in with the converted trawler Lapwing II, Hugh. The family lived at 20 Stuart Street, not 24 Stewart Street, but Iīm putting that down to transcription error. I have written to my cousin to ask whether she knows of the Garden City address. Thank you Westmoreland for the info on Idris and Jool for identifying Olive/Clara but I am grateful to you all for taking such an interest in my enquiry.

My cousin, who has the originals of these photos, has another picture of the three brothers taken in the back garden of 20 Stuart Street Merthyr. I donīt think there is a Stewart Street but maybe thatīs just the spelling that the person writing it down used. As far as we know Tudor was married to Olive Hutson (b1894) and they had three children, the youngest (David A Williams) born in 1923. All three brothers seem to have survived the war. What else can I tell you to help? Iīm really amazed at what you are all finding.
Regards

As far as I know he had no other names, and Iīm afraid the best I can do for a dob is about 1892 in Merthyr Tydfil. On the other photo are his two brothers Idris and Rees but I donīt suppose that helps at all!

Thanks, Gareth.

Can anyone help by identifying the uniforms on the attached photos please? The sailors cap reads "Lapwing II" but there were several ships by this name, both royal navy and merchant navy. All help gratefully received!
