Title: James - Keepings Marriage lookup around 1915 - 1920
Post by: lisauk on Tuesday 14 February 06 12:47 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the marriage of James William James to Florence Keepings. They first child was born 1920. I think the marriage was probably in Bridgend as this is where the family were from.

Any info would be great as I would like to order some certificates.

Cheers Lisa

Hi Lisa,

If you want...post what info you have, and we can see if we can help....this info may not be correct as I have only his name to work with

This looks a possible for his birth.

James William James March Qtr 1898
Bridgend  Vol 11a Pg 832

This is the above child & family in the 1901 census, in the right area

RG13/5045/Folio 97/Pg 43
Bridgend
 
No address

James James head c1872  Cays, Carmarthen (lab below ground)
Mary James wife c1872  Kenfig Hill   
James W James son c1898  Llandyfodwg, Glam
Catherine James dau c1901 (1mth) Llandyfodwg, Glam

Let me know if I am on the right track or wait until the cert arrives you will know for sure then.

Thanks for your reply.

That is the same entry that I found, I guess the certificate will hopefully be able to confirm this.

If you would like to see what info I have you can view my tree at

If you can fill in any gaps or maybe help with any info that would be great, I don't have any parents for Amelia Keeping but at least the certificate will be able to hopefully give me her fathers name.

Cheers Lisa
