Searching for a marriage do not know groom
Have found a marriage on the Bmd

I will put on the unwanted certificates on this forum in a bit
Thank you

Is Gwen short for another name - e.g. Gwendolen Gwenan Gwenda?
Is she likely to have got married in Abergele?
If she had children do you have the date of birth of her first child?

She was born Gwen Davies June 1904 in Abergele
I believe she died in the 90s in Abergele I think in a nursing home now closed
No children
My mother told me she married , I went on a local forum on FB for Abergele and posted her photo,
Someone said they recognised her from the nursing home the home being called Gainsborough house
They said they thought she was  married to a police man but only knew her as Gwen
In my mothers Dr  Barnardos records Gwen was not married in 1922
That’s all I have

If this was the marriage -

DAVIES    Gwen    Williams    St. Asaph    11b   566 - June 1924 -
Williams    Thomas J    Davies    St. Asaph    11b   566 - June 1924

could this be the death- food for thought.

Gwendoline Williams - 21 June 1906  died July 1997 - aged 91 years - death registered Denbighshire South - Clwyd -

Register Number 62
District and Subdistrict 8051
Entry Number 56

Yes that’s my family in 1911
What’s the name of the tree owner
Actually my mistake I meant to say that 1924 marriage is not her the father is wrong it’s so hard with marriage certificates if you don’t know the spouses name
