Edwin luffmanmarriage

[grubheam]

Hi, sorry to bother you but I am in panic, I know I am too late o order marriage cert, I was wondering if anyone is kind enough to pop in Monmouthshire record office, fingers crossed, is there a quick search database to find the parish church for the marriage of Edwin Charles luffman and blodwen jones Apr may June 1913 in bedwelly district? All I need is blodwen jones's father name, I need to narrow it down on which blodwen jones! I just want to add the name on tree for xmas pressie, stupid of me did not order earlier! Can u do the magic for me please?

Perhaps not quite that simple as these are all the areas contained within the Bedwelty Registration District.  Unless you know the name of the church and the area they married in it would be quite a task trying to find it

How many parish churches are there in district, 11? Are these big towns?

I PM'd Blodwen Luffman's date of birth to grubheam - 28 Apr 1894, hoping that might narrow it down and that she might be found from that. However there are 12 Blodwen Jones born in that quarter in Wales and none registered Bedwelty.

If there were - say - 2 churches/chapels  in each place that would be around 22 to search.  As you don't know the actual marriage date - it would mean seaching 3 months worth of entries in 22 lots of church records.

If you were to order the cert tomorrow it would probably be with you by Monday or Tuesday as the GRO will probably want to have a "clear out" of applications before Christmas.  They have a 4 working day turnaround anyway

Actually it's 28 June 1892

Different date to the one I found, yet looks like the same person!

If the one you have is right, there is a possible birth registered in the Sept quarter of 1892 in Bedwelty. However that is presuming that she was born in the same place as she married.

Births Sep 1892   
Jones    Blodwen        Bedwelty    11a   74

Her mother's maiden name was Thomas. I'm not sure that is going to help though as you now have two common names and no way of knowing when her parents married! Also no guarantee it is the right person.

Unless anyone has instant access to the PR, you might be better off doing as Carole suggested and sending for the certificate.

Huh Carole w was right the cert have arrived just in time!!

Thank goodness I got few hours to spare to more research!

If anyone interested blodwen father was William jones a coal miner !

Married in pengam chapel in bedwelty. Hope spelling right so will research now!

Thank you for your help

Merry Christmas!
