Hi Kathleen,

Do you know who your Grandfathers sisters ( Elizabeth and Lilian) married?

Was Robert older or younger than his brother John?

Yes that is my Grandad. It's my tree. I have his marriage certs. I just cannot find a birth cert. or even a place of birth. I am at a family funeral on 16th Feb. I will talk to my Grandads eldest surviving Son Robert to try to get a correct birthday. My Grandad had 2 Sisters Older Elizabeth & Lilian and one brother Robert.

There is a tree on Ancestry which shows the marriage cert of John Wales to Dorothy Baldwin..(Dorothy died in 1925 and John Wales died in 1965 after a remarriage)
And this is given


John Wales father is given as William Wales ...General Labourer.

Witnesses are from Dorothys family.

John says he was aged 22 on it in 1921.


Going on Dee,s find on 1901 and ***Ann***s 1911 it may be that there was a change of name sometime between 1901 and 1911..(It happens)..and this may be John Wales / Wells birth?


Births Mar 1897
Wells John Wandsworth 1d 701

There are discrepencies with Williams age on 1911 and 1901 as well...So maybe John was not too sure of his birth year?

This is what the tree says for John Wales

Birth Dec 1899 in England Death June 1965 in South Western Hosp., Stockwell, Lambeth, Greater London, Surrey, England,
