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.

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

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
