I have found the family i'am looking for how do i find the mothers maiden name, to carry on with my reseach please.

If you can find the birth of one of the chidren on Free BMD, get the volume and page number and order the certificate from GRO. This will give you the mother's maiden name.
OR, look for the parents marriage on Familysearch.
Or, if you're lucky there might be a mother-in-law living with them on one of the censuses.
Or, find them on a census previous to the marriage. Look for the wife's first name and date and place of birth from the census when they were married.
Or, ask for a look-up here. Lots of us willing to help.

Hello Mararet
I have the dates for the parents William Williams born 1859 wife Maragret born 1862 but do not have her maiden name.

Thankyou

google bmd -birth marriage and death,in the area you think they were married,and the year -and if you are very lucky you'll come up with a match!
Not all records have been transcribed yet---waiting for volunteers!
Family search is worth a try.
Send for the certificate though if you do think you have a match-£7 is more than worth all the hassle of going up the wrong tree!
Have fun

Thankyou Margaret and me in Cyprus i'am going to google to see if i can find anything. Hopefully be back later.


Thankyou

Do you have any more information? I can't find a William Williams born 1859 married to a Margaret on any of the censuses. Do you know where they were born or where they lived?
Margaret

It usual to find the first child is born within 2 years of the marriage & often within the same area as the birth. This does not always work but it's a good starting point.
Also worth remembering, they weren't saints children did arrive before marriage!

Free BMD has oodles of William Williams marrying a Margaret, lots of them in Wales. We have to know what area you're talking about.

Sorry i'am slow on computer

The 1881 census has a William Williams born 1860, Liverpool married to Margaret, born 1862, Liverpool. They're living at 72 Arnaud St.? West derby, Liverpool. He's a telegraph clerk.

Sorry for got to say the town was Rassa Monmouthshire

This looks like the family on the 1891 census. Mind you, if I'd known it was Wales I would have ignored this thread. This Canadian has great difficulty with Welsh names!

I'am many many miles away thankfully from the info you have given you must be a local to know so much about the area though, or do you have ancesters like me from this area you never know we could be related.

JONES Margaret Crickhowell 11b 150
WILLIAMS William Crickhowell 11b 150

Crickhowell spans the boundaries of the counties of Breconshire and Monmouthshire

Thankyou Mararet
This does look like this is the family however i'am still looking for Maragrets maiden name i hope i did'nt offend you by this being a Welsh family. I would like to thank you all on this thread for helping me.

Hi still looking
This could be a possible as all the children born to this couple where born in Crickhowell.

Thankyou

On Free BMD:
David Howell Williams born June quarter 1881, Crickhowell. (Volume 11b Page 125)

Margaret Ellen Williams born Dec. quarter 1883, Crickhowell (Volume 11b Page 91)

Jenkin Davies Williams born March quarter 1891, Crickhowell (Volume 11b Page 85)
(Could mother's maiden name be Davies? Or Howell from David's middle name?)

Still can't find the marriage. I think your best bet is to buy the birth certificate of one of the children to get mother's maiden name. Order from GRO using volume and page number. Don't pay more than 7 pounds.
