Hi Marshfield and a Warm Welcome to Rootschat.

I agree with Fisherman regarding William J & Joshua's occupations, Brick burners.

William senior profession is Brickmaker Foreman.

Hello again !   I've got Marshfield staying with me ... we are trying to find Selwyn Finney's marriage in Pennsilvania in about 1925-30 to Sadie ... they had a daughter Margaret Finney, who might have been born 1926-27ish; she died when she was about 40.   Selwyn had a second marriage to Gwendoline Ismay Jones in Tredegar, 1946.

Can anyone help Marshfield with information please ?

Hello again !   I've got Marshfield staying with me ...
How exciting for you!!!

Call Tredegar registry office first thing ! You maybe able to get a fast track copy of the certificate if you are sure it's 1946, they'll do the search for you!

If Margaret died in 1967 in the USA? perhaps Ancestry.....but I don't know if they cover that time span.

If the Pennsilvania you refer to is in Monmouthshire, call all the registry offices !!!

Have a great time together!
Wendi :)

In that case it spelt Pennsylvania  ::)

Same sadly goes for birth as marriages  :-\  but you might make a post on the General board - we have a lot of USA members now  ;D

Much luck
Wendi  :)
