Monmouthshire / Marriage of John Davies and Sarah Jane Bumford Tredegar Registry Office
« on: Thursday 12 August 21 00:41 BST (UK) »
Hello Chatters,
New poster here. I've started looking in my Davies line. I've come a bit unstuck on a few things, but at the moment I'm looking for this marriage.
John Davies b. 1870, his birth place changes on 1901 and 1911 census from Cwmbach to Abershire.
Just a few of his children, for ease of reference are:
John Morgan Davies b. 1897, Rhymney, according to census'
Francis Davies b. 1900 Rhymney, according to census'
Beatrice May Davies b. 1902, Rhymney, according to census'
I was pretty confident that the mothers name was Sarah Jane Davies nee Bumford. She puts place of birth on 1901 census as Rhymney, but on the 1911 census it says "Glamorgan cum Borcoad"
I ordered a copy of Francis Davies birth certificate to confirm, and it states that father is John Davies and mother is Sarah Jane Davies formerly Bumford, so I thought that Bumford was her maiden name...
However on John Davies' record on Anc* for Army Pensions WWI, the file has a page wherein the Army has asked for particulars of marriage and whether the woman was a spinster or widow. She is down as widow, that they married at Tredegar Registry Office and names of two witnesses are John Evans and William Davies. So now I'm not sure if Bumford was Sarah Janes maiden name or the name of a first husband.
Can anyone help me track down the marriage of this John Davies to Sarah Jane Bumford? I just can't find it online and I've tried looking up the registry office, which takes me to the Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council and I've no clue where to go now!
Many thanks in advance.
