Henry Croom married 1885 Treorchy. Help please!*COMPLETED*
« on: Wednesday 24 May 06 12:31 BST (UK) »
I am so stuck on this one. I have a Henry Croome(Croom) born about 1857 who married a Mary Ann Amos in 1885 at Pontypridd. I have all the details of these two and their children but i once thought Henry's father was William. After my Aunt has received the marriage certificate for them it now appears that Henry's father was in fact John Croome/Croom. We have no idea where Henry was born but the address for both of them on the certificate says 10 Dumphries or Dumphrey street ,Treorchy. (each put down a different spelling)
I would really appreciate some help finding out where Henry was born and possibly him on a census with his father. All help welcomed!!!!
 ;)

P.S) Henry does not seem to appear in 1881 as i think he may of been in the army at that time and i have searched but with no joy!

Henry Croom, 3, Born Wick & Abson

Thankyou! That could be them as my Aunt thought they were from Glos. area but it was the marriage certificate that threw us out as the address said Treorchy.
Much appreciated!!!!!
