On Herbert's military record it says his wife died 22nd Oct 1918 Cardiff.

He was a Driver for motor Transport while in the Army.

Still reading through it may show something.

It would appear fairly obvious that the 'death at sea' was that of the Master Mariner

The matching Page number is sheer coincidence................the Volume number doesn't change

Neither of these is your relation

Can I ask/advise you to stop fixating on the father's name from the marriage cert................as I mentioned much earlier, 'deceased' fathers didn't always actually exist..........they could be a convenient cover for illegitimacy.

Here is an additional piece of information.
The marriage certificate 1912 Qtr S Cardiff Vol11a page 606 of Herbert Seth Richards and Florence Edith Buckland gives their respective fathers as "Herbert Richards deceased Engineer and James Albert Buckland Master Mariner.
We are advised that one of these fathers died at sea but we don't know which one.
How do we check on deaths at Sea ? Can anyone advise ?

Thanks Victor

Re Herbert Seth Richards born c 1887
Grandfather Born c!832. You are correct he was Seth Richards age 49 in 1881 and was 59 in 1891 when his grandson Herbert Seth was 4years old and living with his grand parents Seth and Elizabeth both aged 59.
the grand parents also had a daughter Elizabeth Barbara who was born 24th May 1864 in Newport M Vol 11a page 186

In the Births records looking for Herbert Seth Richards c1887 we have found the same reference 1886 first qtr Newport Vol 11a page 209 and in
1888 first qtr Newport M Vol 11a page209.
Can we have the same reference for two different years of birth or are these two different births for two different Herbert Richards?
We have the 1886 birth cert but its not ourHerbert Richards with stated father who is also a Herbert Richards (Engineer per Marriage cert)
If I apply for the 1888 birth cert will I get the same wrong one again?
Can anyone help here?
Regards Victor

Reference Herbert Seth Richards born c1887.

Thanks to Flick and the other contributors for their valuable inputs
.
We still have not located H S Richards birth certificate so that we can identify his parents.

Here is where we stand:- Herbert S Richards links through the following
1891 age 4 living with grand father Seth Richards age 59 (shoemaker) & grandmother Elizabeth Richards(nee Jones) age 59.In Newport North Ward Parish St Woollos
1901 age 14 Living with same grandparents age 69 living in the same Parish.
1911 age 24 living as Boarder (Shop assistant Boot trade) with Gearing family (mother & two daughters)
!912 4th August Herbert Seth Richards Married Florence Edith Buckland
Certificate confirmed he was Age 25 and was Boot shop Manager.
His father was stated to be Herbert Richards (Deceased) Engineer.

Herbert Seth(shown asa Teth in error) Richards is in WW1 British Army service records est Birth 1887 age at enlistment 28 in year 1915. regiment Army Service Corps(MT) trade Boot shop Manager.

All of the above fits together with the Richards connected to our family but we still have the problem of locating the Birth certificateand identifying the mother and father of Herbert Seth Richards born c 1887.

The Death Cert found by Flick and Joan for Herbert Seth Richards age 86 Oct Qtr 1973 Mid Glamorgan Vol 8b Page 261 looks good and I will apply for this.

Deaths Mar 1872 <<too early.

Some acknowledgment of all the effort put in on your behalf would be a good idea.

It was also incredibly thoughtless of you not to say at the outset that you had ALL the census info!

'Deceased' fathers often didn't exist
