Ronald Price - is eluding me!

[jahall]

My grandfather - Ronald Price is giving me a headache!

I have a Certificate of birth.

Name: Ronald Price
Sex: Boy
Date of Birth: 15 December 1917
Registration District: Bedwellty
Sub District : Tredegar
11A 219 363

issued 12 Oct 1977

No Parents etc... cant find the ref number to order it.. ie what quarter

Have already ordered one wrong!

Believe mother was a Margaret Ann Jenkins and father a John Price

Can anyone help?

Which one have you ordered?

And where did those details come from - looks very much like the reference number below what you've included (11a 219 - mothers maiden name THOMAS, March quarter 1918).

If it must be JENKINS, there is one in June quarter 1917, Crickhowell  11b 143 - Ronald J PRICE, mmn JENKINS

Kind regards, Arranroots

ordered the :

June quarter 1917, Crickhowell  11b 143 - Ronald J PRICE, mmn JENKINS

the other one makes sense... but the name is wrong....

March quarter would make sense....

I still wonder where you got the information from?

It would be easier to help you if you told us a bit more about your sources!

from my grandfather....cant trust the information :-(  I have been going on this for a long time and getting no where so time to change tack! His father was definitely a John Price... guess I should now look for a marriage of Thomas and Price - cant find the jenkins version!

Any chance you can look for any of his sisters.  They were all older and their were 7 in total : Jenny, Kathleen, Winnifred, susannah (sissie)... sorry dont know about the rest... Then I can see if we are on the right track.  Something happened that caused a rift not sure what .... nothing would surprise me.

He lied about quite a lot... even his wifes age - she was 6 years older than him and we didnt know until she died!

[Arranroots]

I assume you got John PRICE's name from grandad's marriage certificate?

Do you know who any of the sisters married?  You could then look for their date of death and extrapolate their birth dates, whic you could compare with birth records.

The problem is that prior to Sept 1911, no mother's maiden name is included in the indexes.

Will get back to you later

that is correct re ronalds Marriage cert!

Thanks for your help.  It is really appreciated!

I dont really know a lot I am sorry about the sisters.  I understand they got married - one of them moved to  South Africa one lived in Poole I believe.

Thanks again - this is making my family tree very lopsided!  My grandmother isnt too much better - these Welsh make life hard :-)

Hello again Jen

I am struggling to find a family group, registering their births in the same district and with the right maiden name for the mother.

You might have to wait and then bite the bullet and look for the family in the 1911 census - when the Welsh counties are eventually released!

If you find out anything more, post it here and I'll take another look

Kind regards, Arranroots

Glad it was not just me having problems finding them!

Will talk to my dad and see if he can shed any light on the whole family!
