Can someone please help me find ......

[Charles IX]

Im looking for my grandfather's parents unfortunaetly I dont really know to much about his family. My grandfather was Leslie J Warren born in bridgend in April 1923, I THINK I remember someone saying that his fathers name was Ernest Warren but if it is I dont know where hes from or who he married (cant be sure cause I was quite young and never asked him these things before he passed away). Any help would be wonderful thanks!!!

hey armek,

Thanx for the info. Do you know of a way I can find Ernest's family now I just tried look on 1901 census-online and cant see anyone of that name in the bridgend area

Hi Duke,

I've had a quick look for Ernest Warrens's birth registration and there isn't one in the Bridgend area, though there are a good half-dozen or so within Glamorgan alone. To get a better sense of where to find him will probably mean getting his marriage certificate. Then you'll have his address at the time of the marriage and, hopefully, his age.

With Annie J. JOHN, there are only two in the Bridgend district of about the age to be married in 1922:

Annie Jemimah JOHN, birth registered 1Q 1886 Bridgend 11a 643. Probably a little on the old side, but can't be ruled out.

Annie Jane JOHN, birth registered 3Q 1900 Bridgend 11a 829. More likely! I wouldn't swear to it off the top of my head, but I think she's 8 months old and listed with her Grandparents in the 1901 census - William and Elizabeth Richards at Pencoed, Bridgend, aged 65 and 64 - with three of her elder sisters and their mother. RG13/5051/F126.

Best get Ernest's and Annie's marriage certificate before you try and go any further!

Regards,
Lee.
