I have an Albert George Martin born c1892 in Glamorgan.
Father:William Martin c1857
Mother: Annie Gatfield.

The family lived at 3 Llanwonno Rd in Pontypridd Glamorgan for the 1901 census and 26 Pwllgwaun Rd for the 1891 census.

William says that he was born Abingdon, Berkshire for the 1901 census and Surrey for the 1891 census. I have searched through over 600 William Martin possibles but still cannot trace him prior to his marriage in 1884.
According to William's marriage cert his father was called Henry.

Does anyone else have this family in their tree ???

Regards.

Hi Ann.
I do not think this is him.
I think i have managed to track that one in other censuses. Apart from waiting for the 1911 census to come out i really am stuck. I have spent hours and hours tracking all the William Martins from 1861 census up to 1901 but cannot pinpoint him at all.

Thankyou anyway.
