I'm not seeing a death in 1953 for an Annie Edwards in Wales. If the marriage above is correct, then you're looking for an Annie BM Edwards. There is this one

Civil Registration event: Death

Name: EDWARDS, Annie Beatrice M
Registration district: Swansea
County: Glamorganshire
Year of registration: 1977
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Date of birth: 13 September 1902
Volume no: 27
Page no: 2201

which would correspond with this birth
Civil Registration event: Birth

Name: NICHOLAS, Annie Beatrice M
Registration district: Llandilofawr
County: Carmarthenshire
Year of registration: 1902
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 11A

And this is possibly her on the 1911 census as Beatrice

Thanks Stuart.......

Foolishly, I set an end date of 1924.................didn't consider that the marriage would be so long after the birth..........

Sorry, I forgot to add that the marriage was in Bournemouth. I think work took them there as he (Ernest) was a train driver. I think I have traced Annie Edwards's (nee Nicholas) place of death in Swansea in 1953. There are 7 possible sibblings of Tessie all from Bridgend but 2 of them died at infancy. Thank you all for your help, I am new to this but completely hooked!!

Possible brother Randolph born in Bridgend who also married in Bournemouth, which might suggest the whole family moved there.

Can't see a marriage for the parents under the names quoted........perhaps the mother had been married before?

It might be a worthwhile investment to get a copy of your mother's birth cert.............

Hi. My mum's name was Tessie Edwards, born 1924, daughter of Annie Nicholas and William Edwards. They lived in Bridgened, Glamorganshire. Tessie married Ernest Charles Skinner from Bideford area and later moved to Dorset. I know she had at least one sister but I am trying to trace any additional brothers or sisters and their children (my cousins).
Thank you.
