Find Ancestors

I spend nearly as much time helping other people out.

Well put AG.

We all do - it's an addiction.

You are not wrong there!!!

It still intrigues me though, and I love doing it.

You might be better off if they're not connected to you.............. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I will do that, I have discovered something else this morning, whilst digging around, but I cant post it here due to living people.

I will pm you and contact those 2 you mentioned, thank you so much.

Two GR members have Charlotte in their trees

These two and one other have her brorther Jacob and their father

One of them (Kathryn) also has Arthur Martin in her tree.

Might be worth trying to make contact.

Its getting to the point where anything is possible, whatever it is its not straight forward, I even wondered if she just forgot to register the birth of Phyllis.

Trouble is that I keep getting them all confused now.

I was told that she (at times) used the surname Martin-Reardon. (Phyllis I mean).

Just a wild suggestion -

Perhaps Phyllis was Constance's child, and not Arthur's ???

Births Mar 1912 (>99%)
Morris Phyllis I Davies Merthyr T. 11a 1852

Perhaps registered under her real father's name, but then brought up in the Martin household and took their name - or maybe was even adopted by Arthur if he was VERY forgiving?

But of course there are marriages of some Morris/Davies couples who could be the parents of that child.

EDIT:

NO, of course Constance was already with Edward Balsom in 1911.
So forget that theory!

Ive done it again !!! I keeping getting them confused with each other, Charlotte and Phyllis.

Here's her death:

I just found this, the year of birth is 1914 and not 1911, but maybe the 1939 census entry was incorrect (maybe registered in the name of Reardon to cover up the Martin liason)

No problem, Deborah - easily done!

Sorry AG and ErikaH, I am mixing up Charlotte Ann Bond with Charlotte Ann Readon now. Apparently, Charlotte Ann Reardon called herself Pat. and Charlotte AKA Pat had a daughter Patricia, who married someone with the surname Price.

I got a bit confused with it all. Will PM you both.

Deborah -
you said re Phyllis:

"I couldnt find a birth entry using the name Reardon so I doubt I will find a marriage entry or banns"

Erika posted Phyllis Martin's marriage to Thomas Kemp on page 1 at 13:36.

REARDON, TIMOTHY mms BOND

I don't think that's posted already - apologies if I've missed it.

I posted some Reardon-Bond births on page 2 at 14.42
