Hi Pauline,
My dad was born 1933 and his mum died when he was 18, therefore in @ 1951 and probably in Glamorgan.

Of course youll need to purchase the marriage cert to see if above is the right family.Cant read the first word in occupation of the father?
When was Albert and Minnies first child born that would give us a rough idea of when they married.
