I am trying to trace my great grandmother's family, her father was Edward born 1853 in Swansea and her mother was Mary Ann Jones born 1855 in Birmingham, she had 6 sister, Mary b 1877, Phoebe Alice b 1880, Florence b 1883, Jessie Louisa b 1885, Beatrice b 1890 and Ethel in 1893 all in the Roath area of Cardiff.
Ellen married Frederick John Ashfield Parsley in Kidlington, Oxfordshire on 23 December 1911, she lived in a village called Thrupp all her married life.
Thank you
I would be grateful for any information about her family.

Thats what I had found, but cant trace them apart from Ellen after 1901. Mary born 1855 in Birmingham died in 1898 in Cardiff and Edward died about 1909 in Cardiff.

Would be love to know what happen to all of Ellens sisters, did they marry and have children of their own.

Thanks

Have you searched for possible marriages for them?
There are quite a few to choose from on ,,,freebmd,,,and of course you would need to buy the certs to see if they have the correct age and fathers on them.
Have you tried search trees on here and ancestry?

Thanks for that, its abit of a nightmare trying to tie up Ellen's sisters marriages but maybe I will have to go to Cardiff and look up the records. It was abit of a longshot that someone here could help.
Will have to keep looking.
