margaret ann Davies

[heddwch]

Hello there
Please can someone help hit a brick wall
Am searching for the parents of  Margaret Ann  Davies born Tonmawr  Neath Glamorgan in 1874
She married  William Livingstone in 1896  and had 10 children
Sadly passed in 1916
Many thanks

Doesn’t their marriage certificate help, at least with father’s name and occupation?

Sadly the lady i am helping is unable to get it  that is why i put a query on here

Ok, i can’t find a parish marriage, nor a Margaret Ann born Tonmawr on 1881 census, so can’t help sorry.

There's a suitable contender on the 1881 census at Blaenpellena, Parish of Higher Baglan:
Margaret Davies born 1876 Glyncorrwg daughter of Evan Davies b. 1831 Llangonwyd (Llangynwyd)  and Catherine born 1843 at what could be Kilebebill , also with with siblings Llewellyn Davies b, 1878 Glyncorrwg and Mary Davies 1881 Baglan
RG11 5338
Folio 24
page 6
Schedule 129

GRO Index has MMN for Llewellyn as Jones Neath 11a 570  Dec  1877

With a surname like Davies & so little info you really need to get the marriage cert to get some firm info to ensure you are researching the right family

In 1901 her birthplace is Neath & birthyear 1873

In 1911 it's Tonmawr & 1874

Between 1873 & 1874 there are 7 birth registrations for a Margaret Ann Davies in the Neath RD

There is Richard A, age 8 years at 1911 Census, which birth I am not seeing.

What happened to the many small children who were left with no mother at 1916?

Did father William remarry?.  Were the small children cared for by extended family?

What documentation do you have for BDM events in the lives of the people you are researching?

At 1937 William LIVINGSTON is deceased, and his (second?) wife is alive?.

These Welsh names are all too similar, repeated etc. to use without some BDM records.
