Alfred Jones

[Pamchetland]

I am trying to find an Alfred Jones who gives his dob as 1883 and pob Tregynon Montgomeryshire on the 1911 census, where by that time he was married to Emily Lyddon and living in Bridgend Glamorgan
I have searched all the censuses from 1891 onwards but without success I am hoping that somebody might be able to help Thank you

What was his occupation in 1911

What details does his marriage give regarding his occupation and his fathers name/occupation. Who were the witnesses

Alfred married Emma Lyddon  Q2, 1907, Bridgend. That should give a father's name.

Thank you for your replies I know I would get this information from his marriage cert but I am doing this for someone else and I am trying to save her the cost of buying a marriage cert at a cost of £24.99 from Ancestry

Alfred Jones was a coalminer on the 1911 census

Nothing definite that I could find in the Montgomeryshire Baptisms. The only poss was son of an estate agent's clerk and he married after WW1.  Maybe non-conformist.  I'll see if there's anything there*

* none so far

Just to say that it would be £12 via GRO. Don't sue Ancestry to buy certs:

Thanks for your help It is good to know that there is a cheaper way to get certs other than Ancestry I am Scottish and have been spoiled by being able to get Scottish records so much more cheaply
I am doing this for my nextdoor neighbour and she is quite young so am not sure if she will be prepared even to spend £12.00 but I wiil ask her

The GRO also offers PDF's (£7) for some birth & death registrations, they are however suggesting that we only order certificates that are urgent at the moment.  As Ancestry would be ordering them from the GRO on your behalf I doubt they would get them any quicker, they are certainly overpriced  .
