DerekD44 has been watching but not replying.

Come on Derek, tell us what you really have?

We are just inventing things until you answer the questions.

Births Jun 1905 
Edwards    Amelia       
Neath    11a   1028

This Amelia may have married Clifford Baitup. Her birth date - 22 April 1905.

As Ray has already said we need some input from Derek before we look any further.

I agree, we're not coming up with anything at the moment. The marriage certificate is going to be the key.

"She was Alice A on both her marriages....." is frankly not very helpful.

We not only do not know what Derek is talking about
nor
about that post.

How about quoting refs?
Saves us all duplicating effort ( and even then making mistakes )

Both her marriages were quoted by Derek in the original post. I was simply pointing out that from FreeBMD she is listed as Amelia A Edwards on her marriage to Jonathan Williams in 1934 and as Amelia A Williams when she married John Davids in 1960.

There were no refs qualifying previous research in Derekd44's first/only posts.

There was also a discussion on this on the Ancestry boards in 2015 - no finished outcome - but an interesting suggestion that if she was actually Alice Amelia Edmonds, born Bristol, registered in June quarter 1905 that there was a marriage for Alice Amelia Edmonds in Cardiff (Sep quarter 1932) to a Mohamet Sali  :-\

I wonder if Derek has actually seen that 1934 certificate and if she is a spinster on that? She was 29 then which was quite old for a first marriage.

Interesting as that would make the birth I found correct. Not likely though to have married in Sept 1932 and again in 1934 unless he died, in which case she should have remarried as Sali.
