Thanks for all the help so far, it's been brilliant!

A general question if I may - on the copy of the Census page, as well as the initial entries, there are some 'corrections' in re, but there are also some numbers in free.
What is the significance of the numbers in green please?

Thanks

Jan

I tried to follow CaoleW's instructions last night and was going round in circles!
Tried again, checking William on the 1911 census - and at last I think I have something!
Now for a glass of wine and to step away from the computer.

Thanks for the help folks and any more tips gratefully received

I tried following CaroleW's instructions re Lewis and I've still been going round in circles!  I've bought some credits for the census and a couple of times I thought I'd got a match but it turned out it wasn't and I had ended up downloading the wrong one!
I have managed to find what I think is the correct 1911 Census entry for William Griffiths - just need to find out now why it is that not all of the children's details match up with what my cousin had documented!  Not sure whether hers was from relatives memories or documents though - intriguing either way :)

Thank you groom.

I don't know when any of the children were born I'm afraid.

Thank you very much CaroleW, this looks very promising.
Interesting that Jane, the second born is not mentioned but the other 4 children named certainly point to this being them.

Hi, I'm hoping for some guidance from you more experienced folk.

I have a not from a cousin with some information but I'm struggling to pin anything down - don't know where to start.

I have William Griffiths married Jane Lewis.  It is thought William died in 1943/44.  Jane died 4/1/1945/46.  She was about 71 when she died and we understand William was a few years older.
I understand they are from the Merthyr Tydfil area (William lost an arm in a mining accident)

They had 14 children but Lillian and Kathryn died in infancy.
The 12 children that survived were:
First Lewis, then Jane, Mary, William, Catherine, David, Violet, Olwen, Sarah, Gwen (my grandmother) Tegwen, Gwyneth

I think this information was priced together from talking to elderly relatives so can't even be sure how accurate this is.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Janice
