1901 would be the first step……..

BUT…we need birth years and birthplaces for both of them with such common names.

What was the groom’s occupation?

Age 22 when she married would mean born before 02/09/1873 if she gave accurate info

I can’t C&P at the moment as I’m on iPad

Child Christie born c1897 with the probable couple in 1901…..perhaps you’d have a look, Shirley. Thanks

Child is Christie Hannah, born JFM 1897. Look for the entry on the GRO index to verify MMN

Willie the adopted son - one of these ???


DAVIES, WILLIE LLWELLYN mmn TUDER
GRO Reference: 1905 M Quarter in MERTHYR TYDFIL Volume 11A Page 881


This one doesn't come up on GRO, so don't know what the middle name is:

Births Jun 1905 (>99%)
Jones Willie L Merthyr T. 11a 808a

This was the original registration:

JONES, WILLIE mmn REES
GRO Reference: 1905 J Quarter in LLANDILOFAWR Volume 11A Page 1273

The changes are handwritten at the bottom of the GRO Index page.




ADDED:

On further search, I see there are other possible births - not just those two.

For instance -

JONES, WILLIAM LLEWELLYN mmn GRIFFITHS
