Wow Milliepede, that was quick! Thank you 
I use My Heritage and couldn't find 1901. Probably because the apostrophe was missing.
'Neila' is really Julia, who I have plenty of info on.
Mary is Caroline's mother, who I am researching at the moment.
The BMD listing doesn't have parents' information, just the marriage record.

His (Peter's) occupation was Copper Smelter (Foreman).
I have not been able to obtain a marriage certificate. The citation is from the BMD search website.

Cork / Mary Appleyard (nee Lynch, born Cork, Ireland between 1823 and 1825)
« on: Sunday 04 December 16 11:53 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information regarding the ancestors of Mary Appleyard (nee Lynch, born between 1823 and 1825 in Cork, Ireland)
I have plenty of information about her descendants but have hit a brick wall regarding her ancestors.
This is the information I have.
Married during March 1846 in Bristol, England to John Appleyard (who was born between 1819 and 1823 in Ireland).
Listed in all the 1851-1891 E&W censuses.
Her mother was Ann Lynch who was born circa 1785 in Ireland.
Any information would be very much appreciated and of course if anyone wants further information or documents I am happy to oblige.

Cork / Peter O'Connell (born Fermoy about 1854)
« on: Sunday 04 December 16 11:35 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any information about Peter O'Connell, who was born in Fermoy, County Cork in about 1854. I have plenty of cited information about his decendants, however trying to find his Irish ancestors is proving to be impossible.
He married Caroline Appleyard in Swansea, West Glamorgan in December 1875.
He appears on the 1881, 1891 and 1911 E&W censuses, but not 1901. The birthplaces given are Ireland, Cork, Ireland & Fermoy, County Cork. In 1891 the name O'Connell was misspelled as O'Cornell - but is definitely the correct person.
He died between April and June 1919 in Swansea, West Glamorgan.
Any leads would be very much appreciated - and if anyone wants detailed info and copies of documents I am happy to oblige.

Canada / Looking for details on Alec and Violet Waite who emigrated to Canada in 1930
« on: Monday 28 March 16 11:41 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information regarding my grandfather's sister Violet May Waite (Watkins) who emigrated to Canada in 1930 with her husband Alec Waite on a ship called the Minnedosa. It is also thought that her sister Harriet Watkins joined them and that they ran a hotel at Niagara Falls.
I have two addresses for them - taken from envelopes found on letters sent to my late father. This is the one area of my family where I have hit a brick wall.
Here are the details I have so far.
Alec William Thomas Waite
b. July 1907 Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Wales
Occupation 1930 - Electrical engineer
Father: Josiah Waite
Mother: Rose Waite
Sibling: Margaret Waite
Violet May Waite (Watkins)
b.1910 Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales
Father: Frederick Watkins
Mother: Ann Watkins
Siblings: Arthur Watkins, Gladys May Watkins, Frederick David Watkins, James Watkins, Harriett Watkins
Known Addresses.
1450 Kitchener Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (1964)
205-21387 Best Street, White Rock BC V4B 4E3 (1990s)
It is thought that they had at least two children.
Violet's sister is thought to have possibly helped run the hotel with them, but this is just heresay.
Here are the details I have about her.
Harriet Watkins
b.1906 Abersychan, Monmouthshire, Wales
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Herefordshire / Watkins and Pugh families in Ganarew, Hereford - 17th and 18th century.
« on: Thursday 08 October 15 21:29 BST (UK) »
I've researched back 7 generations to my g-g-g-g-g-grandfather Peter Watkins, born in 1730, who married Joan Pugh in Ganarew, Hereford in April 1753. He had two sons, John (1750-1819) and Thomas (1756-?), both of whom were born in Cwmgarvan, Monmouthshire.
I have unconfirmed information that Peter's father was Walter Watkins (born about 1699).
If anyone can help me go back any further or guide me towards anyone who has links to the family, I would be more than happy to share my findings.
