Goodness me! Bigamy wasn't too uncommon but he went a bit far didn't he?
Anyway, I would get that cert. and take it from there.
Good luck.

Hi Louise.
You are lucky that Charles has a reasonably unusual name. I did look for mary, but Mary lewis in Swansea is not possible - too common!
You need the marriage cert for her father's details.

Louise if you purchase the marriage certificate it should tell you their father's names.

The 2 Joneses are just the other bride and groom on the same page as your couple.

What do you mean? The above are the marriage and the couple in 1911. Where does Jones come into it?

EDIT I see. The Jones couple are just on the entry. You need to get to know the freebmd site, invaluable.
