Looking for parents of Thomas Edward Markey b 1 Sep 1905 Reg D. Merthyr Tidfil

[Robincrook]

Well that helped me massively. Can I thank everyone who have responded, it has really given me something to go at now.  I have seen Thomas in the original 1911 Census and can see that transcription errors were made. If I need further help as I trace the family back, should I close this thread and start another one or leave this open? Would appreciate one last response on this.

Thanks again

Robin

Further to my Search and thanks to the help of Rootschat I now know the father of Thomas Edward was Charles John Markey. I found his birth registration on the BMD site b Jun Qtr 1881 Reg Dist Pontypridd Vol 11A 406. In an attempt to find his mother's maiden name, I inputted the details into the GRO Birth Search, but no record. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

Thankyou
Robin

Hi, just for info, when Charles married Mararet Howells on the 8th August 1904 his father is recorded as Charles Markey occ collier, he was aged 23, Margaret's father was Edward occ collier. Might help to find a Markey/John marriage?

Again for info, 1881 census ref rg11 5302 127 18, on F M P recorded as Charles Marky. His mother is Eliza John a single woman, so probably no marriage to a Markey/Marky.

Charles & Margaret are on 1939 war register.

Charles does have a military record that can also be viewed on FindMyPast.
