Despite my best efforts I cannot find Thomas Edward Markey in the 1911 Census, the aim of which is to find the names of his parents. I do know from GRO that his Mmn is Howells. Thomas married Doris Violet Potter at St Catherine's Church Caerphilly 26/12/30.

I have been using RootsChat for many years and have found it a great help in finding people that my own research has failed to do. I hope someone can solve what seems a simple request but one I am struggling with right now!

Kind Regards

Simplest way is to order a copy of his birth certificate as you have the registration info.

Have a look for that couple in 1911 and you will hopefully find the child you are looking for  :)

Charles John Howells married Margaret Howell in Caerphilly 8 Aug 1904. Charles was 23, father Charles both were Colliers.  Margaret was 21 and her father was Edward Howells, also a collier.

I think that Margaret J Markey (Maggie J) is with a grandparent in 1911.

Many thanks for the timely responses. I didn't want to Clutter my messages with so much additional information but I had seen the possible siblings and noted the Charles and Margaret marriage in the BMD. I still couldn't commit to Thomas being their son. I also noted that a couple of their children were living elsewhere in the 1911 Census but no sign of Thomas. Ive tried trying various alternatives for his name like Tommy etc. It may be I will just have to go for the birth certificate, unless there is another source like Parish Registers etc.

Thanks again

The extra information that I posted helps us when looking for the family  :)

If you are using FindMyPast to search 1911 the surname is transcribed as Marpey for John & Margaret - Thomas is Martney
