Thomas and Harriet did have alot of children but my mother is not listed there so I guess, had not been born yet. So I guess all these other chldren are my aunties and uncles. Very humbling.

Hello patchem. I have now got a copy of my mum's marriage certificate and her father was Thomas Edwards 1882-19?? born Bridgend. (He died before mum was married) and her mum is therefore Harriet Nicholas 1883-19?? born Bridgend. Thomas's father was Jenkin Thomas Edwards but not sure who he married.
It seems that there are 3 members on here with Harriet's details but I don't think they are members any more so I can't find out anything. :-( I'm not sure where to go from here and I added a new post on the community hoping that someone may have some suggestions.
Thank you for your help, I am humbled by the time you have all spent on this..

So this marriage;

Edwards Thomas Bridgend 11a 1060
Nicholas Harriet Bridgend 11a 1060

How old were they at marriage?

And your mother was born 22 years after the marriage?

Further to our previous conversations, I have now discovered to my disappointment that I have been researching the wrong names!!!! Grrr, How could I be so stupid?? My mother's mum and dad's names were Harriet Nicholas who's dad was Joseph Nicholas and her dad's name was Thomas John Edward who's dad was Jenkin Thomas Edwards. The married in Llangynwyd, Glamorganshire in 1902. No wonder no one was responding to me!!

Carole,

If Randolph is Tessie's brother, then there's a possible son called Mark who has him on his tree on this site.

Go to Search and Search All Member Trees at the top to look for Randolph.

Hello Rose. My mistake again. Its Ernest John Skinner, not Charles. And I have ordered my mother's birth certificate already. And Stuart, I will double check the Middle name of Annie however, it was the only Annie in that area to marry an Edwards which was my mother's maiden name so I am going on this, Thank you again for all your help.

Carole,

I still think you should get your mum's birth cert.

How accurate are the names you have for your grandparents?

You say Ernest's middle name was Charles but the marriage is for a Ernest J and there's no birth for him that fits in Bideford.
