Hello Wales :)
Are we looking for Mr or Mrs Demery ??? Is Rook and /or Troy the first name ?
Have you any possible dates or other information ?

Hi Thanks for reply
(there are no family members to help with this)
Firstly I have a William Troy born 1911 Glamorgan cant go back any further.
Beatrice Maud Demery b. 1908 Swansea.
anything would be a start to help me on the the right track
thank you

Their birth certificates would help :)
William Troy Q2. 1911 Swansea Vol 11a. pg. 1213
Beatrice Maud Demery Q1. 1908 Swansea Vol. 11a Pg. 1257
There are a number of marriages for Demery in Swansea, and for Troy, so to find the correct ones their parents' names will be necessary :)

Hello Wales
Have you located births for these two?
Birth
TROY William
Swansea 11a 1213
June Quarter 1911
DEMERY Beatrice
Swansea 11a 1257
March Quarter 1908
The certs will give parents' names as you know.
Glamorgan is among the first of the Welsh 1911 census counties - due to be released in a matter of weeks now.
Interestingly there is a Beatrice DEMERY born in Neath in 1897 - I would suspect a connection, with such unusual names.
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)
Oh snap Mum!

Hello Wales,
there is a marriage for your couple 1931 which would also confirm fathers' details etc.
Where/what/who is the Rook connection?
best wishes

Hi Wales
The key to getting help with look-ups is to tell us what you know, what resources you have already obtained (or places you have looked and not found anything) and crucially what help you still require.
You say you "have the marriage" - can you post full details of the marriage certificate, including fathers' names, occupations, addresses and witnesses please?
The more you tell us, the better we can help.
An extra Rootschat rule - we don't post details of living people, in order to protect their privacy and prevent identity theft - thanks for you cooperation with this.
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Hello again,
if you have their marriage certificate, that will give William and Beatrice's fathers' names so that would then help with 1901 census. Have you looked in 1901 census for the names?

Hello there ; My intervention may be of some/little value to you but my surname is Demery and my gg grandfather was born around 1840 and lived in Cork. From my great grandfather on we have traced the family with accuracy but are curious about the earlier times. Family lore has us as Huguenots of course but we cannot confirm whether we came from France or elsewhere. My grandfather was educated in England which might indicate the UK as a starting point .My gg grandfather was William Demery and his occupation given as miller on his son`s marriage cert. If you have any link it would be greatly appreciated. Incidentally a John Demery is mentioned as a agent of the earl of Pembroke when he first came to Ireland
