(no, seems he was W Stoddart)

No Chris.. I think it's her in all three and the W Stoddart is an error. First one he pays her maintenance but gets custody of Bertie. Then other two she's cohabiting with William Sargeant and husband seeks to stop paying. William was from Christchurch.

Clincher is, sister Harriet , married to william's brother, Robert , lived in tin works row, llanharan (3 miles from Pontyclun)

Only missing thing is that by then Winifred had been born....would that have been mentioned?

Maybe a visit to the library to check electoral rolls for Witham Street...

Chris...we are so near!!!

July 1901 Joseph agrees maintenance to Martha in return for custody of Bertie. She goes to stay with Harriet and meets up with William who is lodging with his brother and his wife.

She and William "get together" ...she conceives Winifred...they move to Witham Street Newport (funny I have Hyde and Hunt ancestors there already) and then to Christchurch before moving to Uskside. Winifred is not registered (guess she never needed a passport)...

And then Joseph catches up with her....

I'll never prove it..no birth.....

But I'll bet I am right!! :-)

Yes, that's about the size of things, lol...

(that ol' thing, where something usually turns up that proves it!)

Chris :)
