Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Parry / Rees.

Hi Eddie and Jeff,
I'm a great-grandson of Bertram Parry (John Albert Bertram Parry), one of John and Jane's children. My paternal grandfather was Robert Parry, Bertram's only child who he had with Margaret-Emily Parry (nee Jones).
My father never knew his grandfather - Bertram died in WW1 - nor his grandmother Margaret who, other than living in Wilson Street, Middlesbrough, I know very little about. Robert was stationed in London during WW2 which is where he met my grandmother, and lost contact with the rest of the family after that from what I've been told. My Nan didn't really like to talk about it, and I understand the family didn't really approve of their marriage. Since her death two years ago, I've tried to find out as much as I can about the family - for my dad more than anything - and after some initial breakthroughs I've reached a dead end. Do either of you know anything regarding Margaret-Emily? I imagine she most likely remarried.
Robert had five sons, but died in the 1960s.
I've complied a family tree on ancestry - which I'll happily give you access to if you're interested at all.
All the best,
Richard
