yes I think that edward and Edna may also had a bout 11 children,

So the Edwards 1866 married a women with the surname Ford.

Well, that was what I thought would be a possible - but I can't see it right away ...

Heeeelllp!

I found a fred sept 1906 and Olive Dec 1903, which could be other siblings,

Claude seems to be the right one as there was only this sweeting family in the area at the time.

so the marriage had to have taken place between 1901 and 1903 to a women Ford. that cant be found lol...

   as the son was born in a public house in Barry Glamorgan in 1904 i checked the index of the 1901 for all fFord women living in Barry at this time and the following came up

        Hannah J Ford           30   Glam Pontypridd   Glamorganshire   Barry       
   Annie I Ford          34    Glam Swansea           Glamorgan                  Barry       
   Gertrude P Ford   37   Glam Cardiff          Glamorganshire          Barry       
   Elizabeth Ford           31   Somerset Bath    Glamorgan      Barry     Laundress

A little summary - we seem to have three Edwards, so I have numbered them.

Please tell me if I have this right!

Edward Jenkin SWEETING (II) b 2 Sept 1866 Llantwit, son of Edward (I) and Margaret (IGI)

1901 census unmarried (if correctly reported by his landlord) in Barry

Marriage Dec q 1896

Edward SWEETING (II?) and probably Mary Jane JONES (freebmd)
Mary not found in census.

Births (all Bridgend)

Edward SWEETING (III) Mar q 1905, poss son of Edward and Mary Jane

Mar 1908 Reginald - ditto?


Dec 1911 Claude mmn FORD - Edward II would be pretty old by now - who are his parents?


Then later

Edward (III) presumably marries Edna HUGHES

Birth

Jun 1929  Lionel J mmn HUGHES




Plus the ones you just found.

[welshspencer]

yes

 claude is def a brother of Edward, Reginald, Garfiled and Lionel as family members (noels Wife) can remember them.

Edward 3rd marries Edna May and had about 11  children of which I only have 3 at the moment



But looks as though Lionel 1929 was also an older brother.

Aah, that makes sense if there's a third Edward!

Edward I death reg
Edward Sweeting 76 june qtr 1911 Bridgend vol 11a pg 431

His baptism also on IGI 12/6/1835 son of William & Mary same batch as before

I've found some Sweeting burials
Edna May 1975
Edward (III) 1980
Mary Jane age 70 in 1941 in Llantwit Major.

Think I'd go for a birth cert that you're sure of to find out the mother - Edward 1905 for instance.

 

[osprey]

meant to say as well that I've got a relative enumerated as a single lodger in one census when he is most definitely married. I don't think you should rely too much on details given by the head of household for lodgers and boarders. The head may not worry about getting exact details.

Thank you to everyone

and for the new infomation giving more deaths and Bap and burials

yes I will order edward 3rds and his brother claude and see if they have the same mother, and should be able to solve the answer....

Thank you once again
