could he have been David George Thomas ?


Marriages Jun 1941


Roberts Lilian Thomas Coventry 6d 2352

Thomas David G Roberts Coventry 6d 2352

Yes it is possible, I have no birth entries for george or Lilian so could not be sure of their correct birth names.

I have been told that Lilians mothers maiden name was Lynch and that she was Irish.

I cannot see a birth registration for Sylvia - are you sure about her details?

Yes I have that one
Sylvia Thomas
MMN Roberts

and now I have the right name of David George Thomas I have found his
MMN Martin (which is correct)
Vol 119

District Merthyr Tydfil

Possibilites perhaps!

Births Dec 1943

'If' the mothers maiden name was Lynch as you suggest above, then:

???
Births Dec 1920 (>99%)
Roberts Lily mmn Lynch Merthyr T. 11a 1512

Born then in Wales, not Coventry !!

Year of birth for Lily was given as 1920 but 1921 was pencilled above with an 'x' beside it ?

Dea x

was born in 1947
no other births coming up on fmp for coventry 1945 +/_ 10 years

Looks like the little boy did die then, only 3 months old.

this could be the birth

Births Dec 1943 (>99%)
Thomas Melville J Roberts Warwick 6d 1510

Deaths Mar 1944 (>99%)
Thomas Melville J 0 Warwick 6d 970

I'd say that the birth and death of Melville that Tiggit posted is almost certainly the birth and death you are looking for.

The certificates will give you the information you need to be sure.

Kath. x

He could have been even less than 3 months old. He could have been born the end of December and died late December/early January.

Only the certificates will let you know for sure.

Citing this Record

They moved between Wales and Coventry a lot back then.

The birth Dec 1943 is interesting though, Thomas Melville J.

George would have been away at war then, I am wondering if the "J" stands for junior and that Thomas Melville was the father!!

I have to go out now for a couple of hours but could you just let me know if the birth entry names a father, if not I shall order the certificate.

Thank you for helping me with the marriage entry.

Marriage??
