All i know abt him is that he was born abt 1877 and his fathers name was james, they were both colliers. david marries a matilda gough(goff) in 1903 in glamorgan (registration district of pontypool). he died in 1950 in aberdare

Hi onecoat,

Have you already tried to find him in the 1881 (or later) census?

i have had a quick look on 1881 census but not knowing where he comes form or his mothers name i am finding it difficult to look for him

Well, I'm afraid I can't see any other possibility. Check everybody with that name and with a father James, trace them forwards to eliminate the ones who are already married in 1901... No other official cert will tell you his birthplace.
