I am trying to locate my grandmother's birth certificate Alice Edwards
« on: Tuesday 14 March 17 20:48 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone,I have registered on this group/site today as I am trying to locate my grandmother's birth certificate.
I have already found her two wedding certificates and her death certificate but,so far I am unable to find her birth certificate.
Her name is Alice Amelia Davids,Williams nee Edwards.
Born in 1905 but,in the 1939 Census her birth year is 1906 !
She was married in Newport,Wales in 1934 to Jonathan Williams.
Sadly he passed away in 1946.My grandmother remarried in 1967 to John Smith Davids in Cardiff.Wales.
Looking forward to any help.
Derek

Hi Derek & Welcome to Rootschat.

Do you know the names of Alice's parents, and have you found her on the 1911 census?  This will help us to have a starting point for trying to locate her birth.
MORGAN: Glamorgan, Durham, Ohio. DAVIS/DAVIES/DAVID: Glamorgan, Ohio.  GIBSON: Leicestershire, Durham, North Yorkshire.  RAIN/RAINE: Cumberland.  TAYLOR: North Yorks. BOURDAS: North Yorks.

Hi

WELCOME to Rootschat.

Hi Derek,

Welcome to RootsChat.

We've moved your topic here to the Family History Beginners Board for you. :) It was put on another board on here, but not to worry.

I hope you get lots of helpful replies. Once you get your way around RootsChat you can then explore and post on the other boards too, on different counties and countries (including Wales too :) ).

All the very best - and good luck.

An Ancestry tree has her birth as 19/03/1905  in Bristol but doesn't have a link to the actual birth.

That leads to this birth? Either they have that wrong or perhaps it has been transcribed incorrectly.
