I am looking for information about my husbands family LEES His grandfather Donald Lees was born abt 1928 and married Gladys, they lived in the Rhymney / Pontlottyn Area Donalds mothers maiden name was Davies and that is all the information we have about him. We would like to know when Donald & Gladys married and who Donalds parents were. Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi Jackie,
This looks like Donald's birth registration:
Donald Lees
Mar 1928
Mother's Maiden Name Davies
Bedwelty 11a 228
If you order the certificate, it will reveal his parents' names.
Any idea when Donald's oldest child was born? :)

Might this be his death reg
Donald lees
born 29 jan 1928
death reg Apr 1985
age 57
Mertyr Tydfil district
27 10
do you know the y.o.b. of Donald and Gladys eldest child ?
That would help narrow the search for a marriage, as marriage regs have to be searched quarter by quarter year by year for that period of time and can prove to be quite a lenghty process
please remember not to post the names of anyone living

Hi his Eldest Child was Philip Clive born abt 1945

All passed I'm afraid

Possible siblings for Donald:
Harriet M Lees Sep 1919 Bedwelty
Mary Lees Sep 1922 Bedwelty
Arthur Lees Jun 1924 Bedwelty
There's a possible marriage:
Arthur Lees - Elizabeth Davies
Jun 1915 Bedwelty 11a 179
but you need Donald's birth cert to confirm ...

would this be Gladys death?
Gladys Irene lees
b. 2 may 1928
death reg Aug 1991
age 63
merthyr tydfil

Sounds good to me:
Birth Dec 1945 E Glamorgan 11a 1123
Phillip C Lees, mother's maiden name Roberts

I can't find a birth reg for Gwladys/Gladys Irene, Tati, can you???
Purchase of the marriage cert would give father's name and occupation

Well, if she had a child in 1945 surely there's something wrong with her birth year being 1938? :-\
-
Whoops - should be 1928 -will edit!!!
have been looking for her birth in 1928 (1828 as well!!!! -that's what comes of living in the past! LOL!)
