I have hit a brick wall, am trying to find the parents of David Richards, I have David's marriage certificate, he was married 15 Aug 1903 to Helena Evans, David was 30, and Helena 29.

David's residence from the certificate is 91 Jones Street, Blaenclydach, Wales.

His fathers name is also David Richards, collier.

I have David and Helena on the 1911 census living at 36 High Street, Mountain Ash, Glamorganshire with their 3 children David Thomas, 4, Edgar James Horace, 2, and Amelia Martha, 1.

Also living with them is David's brother James Richards, collier, age 24, single

I am trying to find David's parents, I know it was going to be a long shot because of the common names but I thought there may be a chance that David senior may have been found on the 1901 census at 91 Jones street but so far I have been unable to find 91 Jones Street in any census records. I have looked on FMP, Ancestry and the Genealogist with no luck so far.

I googled Jones Street and it seems to come under Jones Street, Blaeuclydach, Tonypandy, but I still couldn't find anything.

I looked for a baptism record for David junior but couldn't find one.

I would appreciate it if you could have a quick look for me, but please don't spend too much time on it as there are so many David Richards in the area. It will probably end up being another unsolved mystery. I did look at trees on FMP and Ancestry but they are not well researched enough to be sure that they are correct.

Thank you.
