Hi
I am seeking some help from anyone who has a tree with the descendants of Priscilla Parry (1869 - 1932) who married Lewis Jones (abt 1861 - 1911) at Cardiff, Wales. They had a daughter, Margaret Priscilla Jones (1888 - 1948) who married John William George Drinkwater (1883 - 1947) in Staffordshire around 1907.
Thank you for your time and advice,

Kat

Look for the names in ‘search all member trees’

You don’t need to guess about the marriage year - find the record on freebmd

Then look for children on the same site

You say that you're looking for descndants of Lewis and Priscilla in your Opening Post, but then specifically mention only Margaret Priscilla their daughter.

Are you only looking for descendants through Margaret Priscilla - Or of the other 10 children too??
