Hello all,
I have a head pickler and need some help please.
My G Aunt Caroline Allen was born in 1887 in Penygraig.
In 1905 I found a marriage for her to either William Edward Jones or a William James G Nicholas.
A few years ago I contacted the g grandson of William James and was informed he never married a Caroline Allen, which left her husband to be Mr Jones.
After that I found no record of a death for her etc, and until the 1911 census, did not pursue the matter further.
In the 1911 census I found my G G Grandmother Mary Allen, (carolines mum) her husband david, there Daughter Mary Maria (my G Grandmother) and a child named Elvira Jones who was listed as Grand daughter aged 5 all living at 250 Ynyscynon Road.
Along with them were my G Uncle James Allen, his wife Mary and there 3 children living at the same address but listed as different families.
I looked for Caroline Jones but could find none that matched her, so decided to see who lived next door to my G Grandparents and there children.
By chance I noticed that there was yet another family listed sepearetly under that address, and this family were David Davies, his wife CAROLINE Davies and there son Celwyn.
I know it may be coincidence but that would be one hell of a coincidence to have a Caroline living there....now the dilemma.
It states they have been married for 6 years, yet I can find no record of a marriage anywhere near 1904/05/06.
I have searched phonetically and have searched the whole of Glamorgan for a marriage but still nothing.
I always assumed Caroline was the mother of little Elvira Jones who was 5 in 1911 so her age matches up, but it seems a spanner has been thrown in the works!
Can anyone help find Caroline Allen/Jones/Davies???
Thanks so much!
