What are the chances of having two Rosinas on the same record? Normally you could look on the following census, but in this case you probably need the cert, especially as the brides were born so close together.

Andy

Hi Jude,

Only hope is one of the "in-laws" turns up on a census with them - and lets hope you don't need the will :-D

Yeah Andy/Flip....tried the in-law angle to no avail.

And of course the censuses don't throw any light on anything!

I sent for two more will last week Flip :-)

Jude

There is a possible Collins/Hale birth for this couple in 1913.........

A tree on Ancestry has Rosina Hale, got married at Holy Trinity, Newport on 27/6/1887? to Albert Collins. There is no document attached for any proof though.
It also has her christening 15/7/1868 at St Paul's, and her death in 1924 but I'm not sure of that death as that Rosina has a middle initial.

Sorry been out shopping!

Prickles - I like that Collins Hale birth!

I am fairly sure (through "connections") that Rosina Bryan is the correct Rosina. Yes I have all the probates etc....it was a complicated family....

William and Rosina had two sons - William and Louis. William (known as fat Willy) had a dance band called Billy Llewellyn's Dance Band and married Florence Helena Mitchell.

Florence's sister Clara married Thomas Povall and their daughter Florence Helena Eliza Povall married Louis, William's brother!

William took over the Royal Oak on Chepstow Road Newport from his father. It's now a Toby Carvery!

Someone asked what the chances of 2 Rosina's were.

Well in Wales at this time this name seems to have been extremely popular.

I have at least 2 of similar ages in my family.

I also have 2 Florence Fowlers (of four in my tree!) born one year apart (same area as well) and the younger is the aunt of the older one. Very confusing. :-D :-D

Yes PP...Rosina is a very popular name in Wales it seems...I had never heard of it until I started this lark and I have six in my tree! :-)

I love Fat Willy!!

:-D

That's what my dad used to call him (he died when my dad was four). I have a cutting from the South Wales Argus in 1996....the caption says "as the frontman, Billy Llewellyn, seen here on the right.......well the guy on the right as you look at the photo is stick thin. The guy on the right as they sat is fat (and he looks a bit Llewellynish)..

:-)

I've found the image for both marriages on FMP, though both have been mistranscribed as 1887.

EDIT: It's definitely 1886 on the image itself, which I've sent you by pm. Both couples give their address as Jedds St.

William Llewellin (sic) on register, but signs as Llewellyn, was a 20 yr old grocer, and his father Lewis Llewellyn is described as a blacksmith.

Nice one Kucinta, so I guess that's where the ancestry tree got the marriage date of 1887 for the other couple!

At least we don't have to got through the trauma of Jude getting more wills - which took months once before. Sorry Jude, I still think of that saga and dread posting probate records for you. ;-)

Thanks, Flip.

As you say, the mistranscription would account for the ancestry tree wrong marriage date.

TBH I think you'd all got to the right conclusion without me .

Just happy to be able to confirm it :-)

Many thanks! Got it. Lewis the blacksmith was my great grandfather. The witnesses thomas marchant llewellyn (another grand uncle) and sarah ann (his wife). And all four from jeddo street! Designed to confuse!
