Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Joseph DAVID - Carmarthenshire Workhouse
« on: Monday 25 May 09 05:35 BST (UK)  »
Seeking to prove (or disprove!) this is my grandfather.

Family stories say Joseph David was already married when he married Ivy Reid in 1928.  Apparently not long after their son, Derek, was born he was sent to jail for bigamy and never heard of again.  Family stories also say Joseph David was Welsh.

Only facts I have from a marriage certificate are:

Marriage Certificate from Hampstead, London states:

16-Feb-1928
Joseph David - 48 years - Bachelor - Builder and Decorator - 120 Mill Lane - Father: Frederick David (deceased) Merchant Seaman.

and

Ivy Reid - 22 years - Spinster - Tailoress - 120 Mill Lane - Father: Frederick Reid - Brush Manufacturer.

I have found a 'Joseph DAVID' in the 1891 census of Wales stating he was 12 yrs old (born in Carmarthen, St Clears) and an inmate of the Carmarthenshire Workhouse. 

Could this be my grandfather?

Can you suggest how I might find out his father's name (hopefully Frederick as per marriage certificate)?

Any help greatly appreciated!
