If you buy credits on 192.com, you'll be able to see the full address. I don't have credits, I'm afraid.

The quickest way to find the particular entry on 192.com is not to go via the site, but to Google " david williams, merthyr, 192.com".

Click on the first search result, and from there you can register and buy credits.

BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS MAY BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUPLE!

There is also a David Williams in Merthyr in the BT online phonebook
www.thephonebook.bt.com
giving full address and phone number.
First half of postcode is CF47, same as for the 192.com entry.

BUT SAME WARNING!

Kimberleigh -

Derek James Williams, whose 1972 death Malyon posted at the top of this page, looks like being the adopted son (Derek) of Margaret Woodward who remarried David J Williams.

The couple living in Merthyr Tydfil in 2017 MIGHT be Margaret and her husband David.

To be sure about the death, you'd have to send for a copy of the death cert.

192.com shows a David J Williams with a Margaret Williams at an address in Merthyr Tydfil in 2017 ER.

I've no idea if that's the right couple or not - very common names.

You also say, " we were told that the other child (Derek) had passed away."

It sounds as if there was at least some contact between the families.
Who told you about Derek?
And do you know where or when he died?

It also sounds as if he kept the name Derek, just as Vincent remained Vincent.
Do you know if the Williamses adopted both boys?

I don't see his death as Derek Williams (at least not in England/Wales) up to 2007, unless he'd been given extra forenames at adoption.

Do you (or your mother) know anything more about Vincent's adoptive parents - like christian names for eg so this could be checked? It's just strange that you have a surname - this is not divulged through the adoption process, the birth parents are not informed of the identity of of the adoptive parents. Could it be that it was someone known to your grandfather and/or Margaret?

not yet but she is going to. If I upgrade to platinum membership on here will that help? or is there a better site than this?

Did Michael ever mention whether Margaret re-married and to whom? I can't see a death for Derek under the name of Park, maybe that was because he had a name change.

Sorry, this isn't really helping in locating Vincent though, which is what you are trying to do but I'm not coming up with anything on Vincent under either of the names you've given.

has you mother registered with the adoption contact register as posted earlier by DetEcTive?

Ahh all qtrs are 99% except Dec which is only 12% !!!!


Would be the one you want lol

He does show on ancestry Dec qtr . They have transcribed it with the small s too

The small s against the page nos does indicate adopted . It means that the GRO wil, only issue a shortened copy of the birth cert that doesn't show mother or parents details

I see they share the same father, is he still around to ask about Derek or for any other information? It could be they had already split up and he was a child from another relationship, but registered in the mothers name as it was at the time?

Just wondering if Margaret also remarried and the child's registration was amended to her new surname, or he was adopted by her new husband.
