Marriage look up, James Ballance & Elizabeth Vera Parry. Conwy June/1934.Please.

[wb54]

Hi Everyone,
                   Could anyone help me, I’m looking for any information on the marriage of
                     James Ballance & Elizabeth V. Parry . Reg/June 1934.

                     Have just found them in the 1939 register living with three children
                              Bright Side,  Morfa Drive. Conwy.
                      Two of the children have the surname of Williams. The third is blocked.

                      There is also a death of James, reg 1/1942 Bangor.
                      I think this James was born in Belfast in 1893, have him up till the 1911
                      census at home with family. Then nothing else.

                     Anything about James and Elizabeth would be great, thanks for your time.
                       Best regards,       William.

To lookup a marriage you need to know what church it took place in.  It may have been a civil marriage in a registry office

Female Williams birth is on freebmd in the March qtr 1931 mmn Parry.  Same mmn for child b 1933

Freebmd has birth for Elizabeth Vera Parry in 1899 so she was either previously married to a Williams or they were just living together

Or the children are relatives of Elizabeth's - eg sister's children

Elizabeth Vera has a younger sister Mary Daphne

There's a number of trees on Ancestry which link the children on 1939 to this couple - but they are admittedly scant on details

Hi everyone,
                   Many thanks for all your help, will write it all down and see what I can find.
                    If it’s the same James, from Belfast he was C-0 -I 1901 census age 6.

                    He might have joined Elizabeth’s local church. Need to look into that side
                    of her family, next trip to the library.  Will check the newspapers for his
                    death.

                     Again many thanks to everyone,      William.

Mother Catherine died 1895 which is likely why Catherine & James were boarding with Boyle family in 1901-
