Hi to all the great detectives on here and my apologies in advance for the name and area of my search,

I am trying to find the parents and family of Margaret Williams born 1877 Aberdare Merthyr Tydfil, I have her marriage details and her husbands family.

http://www.genesreunited.com/boards.page/board/trying_to_find/daniels/thread/1249261

marriage:- 5th April 1902 Holy trinity Church Swansea Maragret Williams age 26 Spinster living at 24 Ebenezer Street Swansea, Father David Williams Labourer. The witnesses to the marriage are Jemima Williams a sister to Margaret and David John whom i think Jemima married later. Any help with this would be very much appreciated, and stop me from pulling any more hair out.

Hi Potty,

So far i have been unable to trace A david Williams born in Plymouth in 1853, i found a David Henry Williams 1852, and thats the closest i can get, same for his marriage details found three possibles, just dont know what certificate to take a chance on! any advice on this would be very welcome, many thanks

Hi Lynn

Jemima's birth cert would give her mother's maiden name which would help find the marriage. I have checked the image on freebmd and am pretty sure it is 551:

Births Jun 1881 (>99%)
WILLIAMS Jemima Merthyr T. 11a __1

Nothing coming up for a Maggie and too many Margarets!

Lynn Report 14 Mar 2011 18:38

Hi Potty
thank you so much for the information, i will order Jemima's certificate as you suggest.
Many thanks once again:)

Lynn

And boy are you right about the amount of maragret Williams, i dont think there was any chance of finding her.
