Find Ancestors

On 1911 Census I have Tegwen Reeves age 3 mths b. Cilfynydd, living with her parents Thomas Reeves 28 (b. Blaina, Monmouthshire) and mother Elizabeth Jane (b. Neath, Glamorgan) 21 at Oaklands Terrace, Cilfynydd, Pontypridd. Thomas and Elizabeth Jane were married 1909 regd. Pontypridd and Elizabeth is given as Elizabeth Jane Haynes. I have tried to find Elizabeth Jane on the 1901 census in order to establish her parents but it is a thankless task. I have used the year of birth as 1890 and the place Neath but cannot see her and there are more variations of the name Haynes that I have no idea where to go from here. Having very little knowledge of the towns/villages in Wales makes it more difficult. Any ideas anyone ? Thanks.

Posting this just in case.......

I did come across that one Prickly Holly but was unsure about it once I saw how clearly Hynes was written on the original document. This is driving me mad !!

Ah - perhaps I should now start trying for an Elizabeth Jane Haynes with a birth year of 1892 and not 1890. She must have told a 'porkie' on the census return. I'll give it a go. Thank you.

But why is it driving you mad? If you don't already have it you can get her marriage cert.
Jan

Strugging to find that family as Hynes or Haynes in the 1911.

I have to do the school run so will pop back later.

There is no birth for an Eliz* J Hynes

If you are still unsure, buy the marriage cert - always best to do this anyway

Yes Brummiejan - I will have to send for the marriage cert. Why it is driving me mad is because each time I embark on a line - or twiglet - I seem invariably to have to end up buying umpteen certificates. Just for once I wish I could just have a line which goes smoothly and slots into place. It would make a pleasant change but then again most of us I know have to end up getting certs just to establish one single name. Thank you everyone for your help.

Have looked for the 'Hynes' family with Fred as head and daughter Elizabeth J. Found the family on 1911 census - spelt Haines - and daughter Elizabeth J is aged 20 and still at home whereas my Elizabeth Jane Haynes is already married to Thomas Reeves with a baby daughter. Back to the drawing board !!! Thanks again everyone.

Oh dear - nothing for it but the marriage cert then. I agree it's very annoying when you have a fairly distinctive name to look for - she might at least have the grace to be easy to find!
Jan

Thanks Brummiejan - calling it a day now (well an afternoon anyway) - must go and think about what the evening meal is going to be !!
