Find Ancestors

Its got to be Cardiff, my husband is not aware of any Irish ancestry - its a big family and there is no connection to Ireland as far as we are aware. My brother in law said his father loved to boast of his 'Welsh Roots'. Is there any chance you can come up with some info which can take this forward with a view to finding his parents? Many thanks

I wonder if anyone can help

I've not able to progress James Bolton's family tree, due to lack of birth certificate. I've been in touch with GRO and Cardiff Register office but nobody can find his birth certificate given his father is named John Bolton, Stonemason on his marriage certificate of 1913:

I'm now trying to find details of Catherine Fraser married to James Bolton above

Can anyone find a birth date -her parents were William Fraser and Catherine Bond but have not been able to verify this

Hi Ann

Thanks for taking the time to check this.

I wasn't sure I hadn't seen this one before, and have bought a copy of the census this evening. However, its not the right one - it relates to James Bolton aged 2 and his father is referred to as a horse slaughterer from Tewkesbury called James.

Our James Bolton was married in 1913 in Cardiff and his father is listed as John Bolton on his marriage certificate. His WW1 records also refer to a brother, also called John born 1914, Cardiff. There is no son called John on this 1891 census.

Once again, many thanks for trying
