Find Ancestors

Can You assist me in tracing two marriage records for the above subject,the first is dated 1896 and the second 1910.If possible I would like to find the name of the spouse in each case. I really appreciate your help.

Have you tried freebmd because that’s the first place to look

A tree on ancestry has this

Spouse Thomas Jenkins
Father William Peter Rees
Mother Ann Davies
Children Herbert
Birth Oct 1877 Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales
Death Jun 1934 Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales
Residence 02 Apr 1911 Gelligaer, Glamorgan, W

Look’s possibly a double wedding

Marriages Jun 1910 (>99%)
Edwards Mary Jane Pontypridd 11a 934 Scan available - click to view

REES Lucy Ann Pontypridd 11a 934 Scan available - click to view

So if William was a brother then her spouse was likely Thomas Griffiths

Hi,thank you for your help,I did see the 1910 wedding info on Ancestry but could not find details of the 1896 event. I was wondering if she was a widow and that would explain the 1910 wedding.If I can establish who the husband was in 1896 it would solve a question I have with relatives in Canada .I really appreciate your help.

Maybe it’s two different Lucy .s

If she had been a widow, the normal procedure would be to re-marry under her first married name.

What do you know about the one in whom you are interested?

Birth year? Names of parents?

The first Lucy was still married in 1911 as Jenkins so can’t be the same one who married in 1910

This looks like the Lucy who married in 1910:

Thank you everyone who responded to my Question from the information you supplied I have been able to prove that Lucy Ann Rees is not part of the family tree as shown on Ancestry.

Lucy’s birthplace according to 1881 census was actually Llanwonno

She was 3 years old in 1881

In 1891, she was said to have been born in Hopkinstown

By 1901, she was not living with her parents

Hopkinstown is in the Parish ofm Llanwonno Glamorgan.

I know………. ;-) ;-)
