Andrea Report 12 Sep 2010 13:20

My Great Grandmother Blodwen Harris married in 1919 at Pontypridd registry office a man named William Henry Hall. He was a widdow aged 30 at time of marriage and Boldwen 24. Blodwen out lived William and he died quite young (im not sure how old). She went on to marry a Lewis Lewis whom she also out lived. She had a son with her first husband a George R Hall. I have Blodwens Death cert and he is living in cliftonville kent in 1963. How would i find ut if he is still alive and if he had children?
Iam also stuck on the secoond husband Lewi Lewis. thank you Andrea

If William was 30 in 1919 this is a good match for him being born 1889 (ish)

Deaths Sep 1941
Hall William H 52 Merthyr T. 11a 833



And unfortunately also George I think.

Name: George Richard Hall
Birth Date: 18 Nov 1921
Death Registration Month/Year: Mar 1989
Age at death (estimated): 67
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1979

Someone called Linda has a tree on here with a George Hall born Wales on it.It may be worth trying a message to her to see if it is the same one.

Name: Blodwen Lewis
Death Registration Month/Year: 1963
Age at death (estimated): 67
Registration district: Pontypridd
Inferred County: Glamorganshire
Volume: 8b
Page: 514

Born 1896 then.

You and 2 others have a Blodwen Harris on their trees born about then and in about the right place.


When was Lewis Lewis born?


If you know nothing of him then Blodwen and his marriage cert is the place to start.

Wow its like magic!! you found so much about the Halls.
Im afraid i dont know George R Halls full date of birth all i know is he registered his mothers death in 1963 and he is down as George R Hall 16 St Pauls Road Cliftonville margate Kent. I will try and find Linda with George hall in her tree. I thought it would be lucky if he was still alive, it looks as if he died the same age as his mother.
Again its only from Blodwens death cert that i know she was widowed from a Lewis Lewis they were living at 61 High Street Cymmer he was a coalminer hewer.
Thank you for your help, anything else you could find i would be very grateful

As I said earlier.

If you know nothing of Lewis Lewis then Blodwen and his marriage cert is the place to start.

Marriages Sep 1942
Hall Blodwen Lewis Merthyr T. 11a 1468
Lewis Lewis Hall Merthyr T. 11a 1468

If you buy George Richard Halls death cert it may have a family members name on it as informant and also of course ,his address.
