Vivienne

you beat me to a reply.

Williams occupation on the cert is listed as a labourer. but in twenty years the occupation could have changed. The closest i could get to the location was surrey, but the age was out. i am off to kew next week so will verify these details against 1911 census ...thank you very much

Fingers crossed its the correct one.

Just a thought ,,what is the address she married from?

May be able to find it in 1911.

Surrey is MILES away from Newport Mon area,I was born in Surrey,MANY moons ago.

A very long way from newport, in the scheme of things, which is why i turned to the community at genes. The address is no longer the same though, but i am feeling quite positive. I found loads of lillian and williams, but not in the same household.
Thank you again
