I am trying to find people with these surnames who live in the Pontypridd area of Mid Glamorgan. I recently found out that my late brother's wife was born there. I never knew her maiden name but by luck someone gave me her middle name which is Deer(e) so I took it from there and found out her surname was Mote. Her father was Mansel M Mote and her mother Lillian M Mote (Braund),

Try "Search All Members Trees" to see if anyone has Melville or your Sister in Law in their tree.


Melville married in 1958 and had 3 daughters.

You can find his marriage and their births on the link to the free site I posted.


Father was actually Mansel Deer Mote.

Edit: I have just checked and the only member who has Melville in their tree on here is you.

A member called Martin Burns has a Joan Mote born 1934 Wales in his tree.

All you had to do to find Joan's maiden name was to check out your brother's marriage registration.

His children's birth registrations also includes their mothers maiden name. :-)
