Looking for ancestors of Lillian May Anderson born 1919, Rachel born 1921 and John. They were put into orphanages in Mumbles, Wales in about 1925 when their mother died. Their mother's maiden name was Edwards. Father who I believe was called John remarried and had more children. The story goes that their father,John, came from Scotland to work in the mines and he had a small-holding. Just want to know a bit more of where and whom my grandparents were.

Yes I have this marriage certifcate but not sure if it is the right one. 4 January 1919.
Edwin John
age 23
Lance Corporal 13th Battilion Welsh Regiment (farm labourer). Beaule-fawr Llangunnor.
Father John Henry.
Anna Mary
age 23
Domestic servant (no father).


On both birth certificates
Father Edwin John and mother Hannah Mary. Born at Gellydeg Lodge Llandefeilog. Informant was the mother, so asume her Christian names are correctly spelt.

I have the only death certificate that I could find that tallied, which is for 1927
Annie May age 33 husband Edwin John. The ages don't correspond though. And different Christian names, not that matters, perhaps.
