THANKS FOR THAT JESS LOOKING AT THIS THOUGH I DON`T THINK THIS IS THE WILLIAM I AM LOOKING FOR AS WILLIAM IS IN THE DREADED HISTORY BOOK OF THE JAMES`S WHICH WOULD SAY HIS FATHER WOULD OF BEEN JAMES JAMES....... THE REASON I AM SAYING IT IS DREADED IS BECAUSE IT DOESN`T SAY HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE REALATED BUT THEY ARE OTHER WISE THEY WOULDN`T BE IN THERE, I HAVEN`T SEEN THE BOOK I HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN THE DETAILE OVER THE PHONE. I HAVE SO MANY NAMES WRITTEN DOWN SOME WITH YEARS THEY WERE BORN, SOME ONLY THE YEARS THEY DIED BUT MOST OF THEM WITH NO PLACE OF BIRTH.... BUT WORST OF ALL NO CONECTION. SORRY TO GO ON ABOUT IT BUT IT IS JUST REALLY GETTING TO ME NOW. LYN.

Lyn 'detail' seems to the key here- but still this chaps fathers isn't called James James 1891 James, Thomas abt 1874 Ogmore Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Son Llangeinor Glamorgan James, William abt 1851 Llangwyryfon, Cardiganshire, Wales Head Llangeinor Glamorgan James, William abt 1886 Ogmore Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Son Llangeinor Glamorgan James, Anna abt 1851 Talybont, Cardiganshire, Wales Wife Llangeinor Glamorgan James, Blodwen abt 1890 Garw Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Llangeinor Glamorgan James, David O abt 1881 Ogmore Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Son Llangeinor Glamorgan James, Elizabeth abt 1876 Ogmore Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Llangeinor Glamorgan James, Margaret abt 1887 Garw Valley, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Llangeinor Glamorgan

OK JESS I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A LONG SHOT, IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN FIND OUT ABOUT HER DEATH CERT? OR NOT THAT WILLIAM JAMES b 11/7/1886 IT`S A LONG SHOT BUT HE MAY OF BEEN BORN IN THE SUB-DITRICT OF OGMORE. CHEERS LYN.

There are 65 pages, and 10 on a page, of marriages between 1880 and 1884 for groom David Davies. I can bet a percentage of those are to LLewlwyn's ... hopeless without a location or more exact date

MANY THANKS JESS I CAN NOW PIECE TOGETHER THE INFO I HAVE AND THEN HOPEFULLY I CAN SEND OF FOR THE MARRIAGE CERT FOR DAVID AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS MARRIED TO A MARY. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK TO SEE IF THERE IS A MARRIAGE BETWEEN DAVID DAVIES AND A MARY JANE LLEWELYN BETWEEN 1880-1884 AS MARY JANE LLEWELYN IS ANOTHER NAME I HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN BUT NO YEAR OF BIRTH OR PLACE JUST THE DATE SHE DIED 1/10/1964 IN PONTY CYMER. MANY THANKS FOR THE HELP I AM REALLY GREATFULLY WHAT A GREAT START TO MY BIRTHDAY. LYN.

Hi Jess, Yes please - I would love some BMD and `91/`01 Census help when you have time. I have hit a brick wall with my MORRIS research in the Newington/Walworth/Lambeth/Camberwell/Brixton - LDN. I have been trying to find a Marriage or Death of the following people. (FreeBMD + 1837online) Catherine MORRIS b: SSX c1828 (Mother of Thomas & Florence) Thomas Piper MORRIS b: 1864 Walworth SRY and his sister Florence Olympia MORRIS b: 1863 Walworth SRY Have them with rest of family on `81 Census, but have been unable to locate on either `91 or `01. Thomas`s occ. on `81 was Plumber`s Labourer Florence`s occ. was Domesic Servant Catherine`s husband died 1888. I feel sure the family would still have been around the same area (listed above) as eldest dau was married and living in Brixton up till her death in 1936 and she was witness at another family wedding 1889 Camberwell. Are you able to locate any of these three on `91 or `01 Census or find a marriage or death? Cheers Sherryl in NZ

anyone want to get this one started?!! jess

Please supply as much info as you have when requesting lookups, Which census/dates/birthplaces/likely whereabout. MY GEOGRAPHY ISN'T WONDERFUL (BUT IMPROVING...!) SO VILLAGE NAMES MAY NEED SOME LOCATING CLUES (NEAR...) PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE can you do the subraction sums and post years of birth not ages.... The more you can tell me the more likely i am to be able to find what you want! * * * * * * * * * Please re post name in response to queries - 'HE' was born in 1842 ' could apply to any number of people i am looking up!!
