Do you have any of the childrens birth certs ?
it would give you mothers maiden name

Hi thanks again for your help

I only have part of Rachel’s birth cert.

I have been talking to my mother about Edith though.

She told me that she recalls Edith having a sister who died when my mother was a teenager and that she had an unusual name, being Myfanwy.

When I asked does the name Hitchings ring any bells she said that she s almost certain that Gwillym's middle name is Hitchings.

Surly this is more than just coincidence?

I guess I’m going to have to send off for a copy of his birth cert as this will confirm our findings either way.

Thanks Adam
