I actually like that, BUT, no confirmation from OP('s)

Interesting as that would make the birth I found correct.

Indeed; apologies Groom, I meant to reference that  :)

Re the possible 1932 and 1934 marriages, what would happen if the 1932 one was annulled? Would she revert to her maiden name (if it was her first marriage)?

I would think she could as if a marriage is annulled isn't that the same as never having been married? Only one way to tell - get the 1934 certificate if David hasn't done so already and then perhaps get the 1932 one and compare them.

OOps I see that I have missed a whole page of replies! So her death has already been found!

Is this her death?

Name:    Alice Sali Davids
Birth Date:    19 Mar 1905
Date of Registration:    Dec 1970
Age at Death:    65
Registration district:    Cardiff
Inferred County:    Glamorganshire
Volume:    8b
Page:    1263

So that we can find her on the 1911 census,who does she say that her father is (and what job did he do) on both her marriage certs?

Looking at what is probably David's tree on Ancestry parents are  Richard Albert Edwards (lorry driver) and Edith. He also has her as Alice Sali Davids, so we need him to come back and tell us what he already knows, we may just be repeating stuff. Hopefully he has had an email telling him that he has replies.

Right.......Carol8353........yes this record is correct!!!
Her father's name is Richard Albert Edwards and,he was a Lorry driver.
On the 1934 wedding certificate he was alive but,on the other one ( 1967 ) he was deceased.

Hi Derek, what else do you know about the family?

Alice's mother's name, parents ages, where they were born, any siblings, where they were living in 1901/1911 etc.

Was she definitely Alice Amelia? Where does the Sali come from?

Sorry for all the questions but she is proving difficult to pin down. We would love to help, but need more info.....

Hi Carol,there's not a lot to go on regarding my Nans parents,other than their name.....Richard and Edith.A step cousin of mine did mention that my Nan had a brother but,she wasn't sure about his name.So I looked at the 1939 register and found a Francis Edwards in the same house in Bristol.
So I decided to look and see if he had married,had children etc.
There is info on that side but,I didn't want to go further until I found a connection and whether Richard Albert Edwards was their father.
Her name is Alice Amelia and sadly I don't know where "Sali " came from???
I'm going to contact my cousin again and see if she knows where it came from !!
Oh,and by the way I don't mind all the questions also,should I take longer getting back to you it's because I'll be at work ( 12pm-8pm )
So I haven't ignored you....ha,ha,ha
