(as you can see, Surname variants come into play, perhaps also, with Tombs)

Amazing. I think then their parents must be Elizabeth Parry and Henry Cocks.

I can see Ethel (densley) and Sarah Ann Densley. I'm a bit confused. It is saying Henry was married to Maud. Would Sarah be another wife of Henry?

Maud, was probably the M on name of Sarah...

Chris :)

(on that Marriage Cert., who is Father of Elizabeth?)

I think Elizabeths father might have been William Parry

On the 1911 Tombs Marriage, her Father should be Henry...(for Elizabeth)

Chris :)

Yes I was talking about elizabeth's mum Elizabeth Parry.

Any thoughts on John F Tombs?

Not at present, lol, having to go shopping shortly...will look in later!.

(might be a case of surname variants again!)

Chris :)

Thank you so much for all your help :)

I can't find that James on freebmd.org.uk?

Do you mean that you can't find a matching birth please?

Here's the death from Freebmd

Deaths Mar 1938 (>99%)
TOMBES James F 59 E.Glamorgan 11a 964

Perhaps Tombes was a stepfather's name and his birth was registered in a different surname?
