OAKLEY OF KIDWELLY
« on: Thursday 04 September 08 19:28 BST (UK) »
My great grandfather Alfred Oakley b. 1846 from Kidwelly appears on the 1881 census married to Catherine b. 1846.
Would anybody know Catherine's maiden name ?

Thanks

Hi obd,

The GRO reference for Alfred's marriage seems to be

Alfred Oakley Dec 1868 Llanelly 11a 874

FreeBMD doesn't show a partner but looking at all Catherines marrying in Dec 1868 in Llanelly, there's a Catherine Hughes, ref. 11a 87_  on FreeBMD. Checking the actual image, it's quite clearly 874  :)

Thanks that's excellent.

Would you know their deaths as they appear on the 1881 census but not on the 1901 census ? My grand father (their youngest child)  William G Oakley was born abt. 1890 therefore they died from 1890 to 1901.

They're both still alive in 1891 (shout if you need the census details)

Likely death
Catherine Oakley age 52
Jun 1898 Llanelly 11a 506

The only possible death I see for Alfred is Sep 1910 Llanelly - wondering if he was alive in 1901 but is hiding somewhere  :-\

Sorry I should have told you that sometime after the birth of William G Oakley the family moved to the Pontypridd area (civil parish Llantrisant and Ystradyfodwg) so they may have died there.

I can't see any other death anywhere ...

Have you checked FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ for yourself?  :-\

That's strange.
On the 1901 census William G Oakley is residing with his brother-in-law.
I'll continue searching.

Thanks for your kind assistance,
Dave
