Hi

What was his age when he married in 1897 - he's 24 in 1901 so should be 20/21

No way to look at the certs - GRO have the monopoly

20yrs old. So have been searching a couple of years either side.

......contemplates hurting credit card in a bid to track the elusive one down!!

Have you checked the full GRO index rather than the partial one on FreeBMD? I'd do it but I think it would finish my eyes at the moment.

There's also on registered in Caernarvon in Dec Q 1877. Penmaenmawr might have been the first place he remembered $:-\$

Is the GRO one the one with ancestory when you pay? If so thats the one that i have.

Thanks for looking though.

It's there and on other sites. Make sure that you look at the full one not the partial one. Unfortunately that area isn't on the North Wales BMD yet, although I transcribed some of it a few years back

I think this will be the John Ellis death (hubby of Fanny) - not that it helps to establish whether he was David's father
