[DORAN54]

Hi  well  i have searched all shapes for this marriage they had a son francis william creek in 1914 mothers name Burke in neath glamorgan   i am hoping to find this family on the 1911 census if they had other children before francis but it's hopeless without christian names i know.  creek &burke are not common names in the neath area maybe someone can find some thing i can't   :-\thank you

Do you have Francis William Creek's birth certificate? Which should give you his parents names.

Hi no joy at present, but did he marry a Violet May Lewis March qtr 1934 Neath and tragically die 22nd May 1940 Dunkirk as a member of Field Coy, Royal Enginčers, Regiment No: 2074724 aged 26

I cannot find a Creek/Burke marriage anywhere within a reasonable time frame. If it was the bride's second marriage, she would have been married in her first husband's name, not her maiden name (assuming they married).

I've had a quick look on the GRO Index but cannot see any other children born around 1900/16

Any reason why, as I see Violet remarries 1949 to a Joseph E Reason
A Francis Creek with a father William caught my eye in earlier census Neath?
