Never believe other people's trees without seeing proof of what they claim. you need certificates to prove each generation before rushing further back.

And if asking for help start at known proven facts i.e. Marjorie Jane who you say in your PM is "yours"

I believe Margaret Jane Davies (nee Bevan) got a daughter Winifred May Davies. I was told that they live in a farm up north Wales in 1904?

Anything to say about all the information already found?? Do you think it may be your family or not.

You've marked the thread as answered but are still asking questions, no-one else is looking in to help. Try altering your heading adding along the lines of - more help needed please. it's a quirk of the site - marks the whole thing as answered, not just one particular part and can;t be undone.

IF you've decided the right family has been found - (check on ancestry tree after finding these records indicate I'm on the right track)

???
Working backwards got me to this marriage (one male name missing), will post in order going forward.

You need the marriage certificate for Father's name to confirm correct Margaret

It was correct that Margaret Jane Bevan married William Davies on 16th Dec 1890 in Pontypridd. I dont know what happened to William wasn't listed on 1911 Census as above. Hope you can help to find what happened to William Davies? Thanks your your big helps!
