Dear all,
I have now gone back with my family tree and hit the brick wall. I am now going to try and trace my Grandfathers sisters.
Lillian lavington born 1898 Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales
Victoria Lavington born 1901 Cardiff, Glamorgan Wales.
I have found them with my grandfather Vernon on the 1901 census for Roath, Glamorgan.
I have tired the IGI but they are not there.
I have tired the Ancestry .com. web site
Can any body help me with where to look for their marriages etc. so that I can see if I can trace any living relatives now .
Kind regards

Hi Jean, there is a death for a Lilian Susannah Lavington aged 4 for the June quarter in Cardiff on FreeBMD; volume 11a page 212.
Her birth is listed as Lilian Susan Lavington for the March 1898 quarter in Cardiff; volume 11a page 318
I had a look for the birth of Victoria in 1901 for Cardiff and the only one I could find was Alice Gwendoline V. Lavington for the March 1901 quarter in Cardiff. I wondered if that was Victoria?
I am assuming that your grandfather Vernon is the Charles Vernon Lavington listed for the March quarter of 1896
hope this helps

Dear Margaret,
My Grandfather was Charles Vernon Lavington listed in March Qtr 1896.
After further checking I think that the Alice Gwendoline V Lavington born 1901 could be my grandfathers sister.
Next year when my research centre opens up I will order her birth certifitate to make sure. then I can try and find if she got married.
I have found doing my research that they change their names all the time.
Very confusing for us.
Any way many thanks for your help , I do hope that you have a very merry christmas and New Year.
Kind regards
