Thought I might add a post-em to the Free BMD entries in case anyone else has the same quandary about who married who.

EDIT: I've added details of the relevant marriage to each bride and groom on the entries on FreeBMD, though it will take up to 24hrs for them to show up.

However I noticed there was already a post-em against Rosina Hale, wrongly linking her to William Llewellyn (but with no actual details) !!! :-0

Yeah I think that might have been me! When I went down the wrong alley!! And no details because it was my first try and I didn't really know what I was doing

You mentioned these marriages, didn't know if you had the actual dates or just the GRO refs. I can't find a full record for Clara Mitchell and Thomas Povall, just the GRO ref.

Entering up the marriage Kucinta mailed me on my spreadsheet and Rosina auto-filled. I have bought the stupid certificate aaaaaaagghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

But thanks anyway everyone for the help particularly the certs for Louis/Leiw and William and their Florence Helenas! :-D

Sorry - no joy!

I'd tried previously to find the marriage image for Thomas and Clara, but it's not coming up on the Parish Records Collection1538-2005 on fmp, as the others I sent you did.

Maybe they didn't marry in church?

EDIT: The 'view' on the record you posted for Clara and Thomas, just links to an image of the printed GRO index , not to an image of the marriage register.

Kucinta's find is also available on FS, but with distressingly fewer details - and you need an FMP sub to see the image.

Name: William Llewellyn
Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: 22 Jun 1887
Event Place: Newport, Holy Trinity, Monmouthshire, Wales
Age: 20
Birth Year (Estimated): 1867
Spouse's Name: Rosina Bryan
GS Film number: 2411549
Digital Folder Number: 004393940

I haven't looked at any other Welsh marrs, but at least it would resolve who wed whom for some of them via lookups at
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

Although it just covers (I think six of the old) northern counties,
http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/
can resolve both church and non-church marrs too. Sometimes the marr ref is to a page #, rather than an entry #, but these can be useful when the GRO pages aren't aligned with the local register's pages. Also, sometimes the local index gives an age for deaths pre-1866, and, at least in Anglesey, they give the mum's maiden surname on pre-1911 births. Not all church, etc msrr rego's, nor all subdistrict B & D regos have been locally indexed, though.
