Are you going to order Trevor's birth cert to see if the date matches?

Rose

thanks everyone you have been a great help

robyn

Where did you find that the parents were Lewis Davies and Alice Maud Smalley?

The actual 1911 image does say Cardigan.

Lynne,

Any chance the actual 1911 image says something other than Cardigan?

Rose

The marriage you found 1908 seems like a good possibility to me despite the MMN, but this has a more than average chance of being John's birth record so might be worth a shot:

Births Jun 1910 (>99%)
DAVIES Brinley John Pontypridd 11a 630

Jan

Nor me, Rose.
Alice Maud is a mystery??
I have even looked for a marriage before the one to Lewis?

Thanks Lynne.

Can't seem to find Alice's birth or on an earlier census.

Brinley is on the Warringah electoral rolls in 1943 and 1949.

Hi jan you're not going to believe this but I have found his parents names they are lewis davies & alice maud smalley I'm not very good with the computer so it takes me awhile. thanks for ypour help

robyn

I assume you mean there are no parents named?
jan

Hi jan I have the marriage certificate & the space for his family to consent is vacant. All I'm getting is dead ends in my search thanks for trying

robyn

If you are certain of your info there are 2 possibles:

Births Dec 1911
Davies Trevor Gittings Swansea 11a 2271

Births Mar 1912
Davies Trevor G Bowen Swansea 11a 2388

You could do with his marriage cert if possible.

Jan

Thanks patrica for your help but I have that information you are right lilian did marry after trevor's death to walter who was my father I am trying to find out trevor's side of the family all I know is that he came from wales.Trevor & my dad were best mates & trevor asked my dad to look after Lilian should anything happen to him.he drowned in the prisioner of war camp & my mum always thought that was strange as he couldn't swim & never went near the water ????
