William Lewis and Ann Davies : parish records?

[ccmmgr]

This is my first time working with Cardiff / Glamorganshire records and I'm not coming up with much in terms of parish records for the above couple.

William LEWIS b. abt 1844 and always enumerated as a coal trimmer from St Mellons - can't find him definitively prior to marriage, was hoping for clues in parish record

Ann Davies - going to be a bit of a needle in a haystack without clues from parish marriage.

I was hoping to at least find parents' names or professions, perhaps witnesses that would give a clue - the usual.

They were married 4th QTR 1868, Cardiff, Glamorganshire
Volume 11A Marriage quarter 4 Volume as transcribed 11A Marriage year 1868 Page number 337

Haven't found any parish records for the children, either - all born Cardiff / Roath:

Ann E Lewis b. 1869
Mary C Lewis b. 1872
William Lewis b.1874
David Lewis b. 1876
Gertrude Lewis b. 1878
Edward Lewis b.1880
Naomi Lewis b.1882

Any tips appreciated! I imagine there's some context about these records of which I'm unaware.

Unless the marriage cert is online you need to buy a copy to get their respective fathers names

Not all children were baptised.  Not all baptismal records are online.  Have you tried www.familysearch.org

Interestingly - St Mellons is shown as in Monmouthshire but the registration district was Cardiff

There's a 1901 census for a William Lewis with wife and daughters Gertrude and Naomi and it gives his birth place as Penylan Newport

St Mellons is close to the border of what was Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire; even now some St Mellons addresses are in Gwent rather than Cardiff.

Unfortunately purchasing the marriage certificate is the best guaranteed option.
