Spelk.  Thank you for that.  I have since found a lot more newspaper articles of George Walters.  His birth name was John Thomas George Walters but was known as George.  Regards Elaine (Australia)

Hello People.  I'm trying to find a death record of Elizabeth May Harris B28/11/1909 Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil.  Daughter of Edward Rees Harris and Edith May Harris (nee Scully). 
She married John Thomas "George" Walters (known as George). They married in 1931.
John Thomas George Walters died 1965 in Hengoed.  They had two children Maureen and Roy Walters.  It is suggested on Ancestry that she died in 2007 at Milbrook Residential Home in Caerphilly which would make her 98yo.  However, I can't find a record of that on GRO UK .
Perhaps she remarried - I don't know. 
Any ideas??  Regards Elaine (Australia)

Hello People
I am trying to find a possible marriage certificate and a death certificate.  His birth certificate states he was born 28.02.1889 Cwm yr Allt to William and Noami Rees.  In 1891 he is with family at 14 Roadside Cottage, Bedwelty.  In 1901 and 1911 he is with family at Smith Arms Inn, Pengam.  He served in WW1 from 1913-1914.  Service No. 1745.  He was medically discharged.  Address on discharge - Mother Naomi Rees, White Hart Inn, Bluith.  I can't find him in the 1921 census or 1939 register.  Possibly he died between 1914 and 1921 but i can't confirm that.  Would appreciate any ideas.

Thank you in advance.  Elaine (Australia)

Daisy Petal.  Thank you for the Newspaper clipping.  Sadly, domestic violence happened back then too. Distressing situation for her to be in.  Good for her for putting an end to the situation.

Ladyhawk.  I was wondering the same thing for the registration in 1918

Ive queried with the GRO UK regarding a divorce record for the couple.

Thank you to all involved with your answers.  I have corrected the original post to Samuel Edgar Collins.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Regards Elaine (Australia)

Hello.  I wonder if any one can help me.  I'm trying to find a marriage record for Lillian Rose Morgan B.19/08/1898 and William Lewis Rees B.09/11/1879.  Lillian Rose was born Morgan.  Her stepfather was Mr Challicomb.  Lillian married a Mr Samuel Edgar Collins on 29th September 1898.  In the 1911 census she is with Mr William Lewis Rees B1879 in Llanwanno.  They are still together in the 1921 census with her children from the previous marriage and had three more children.  I have spent ages looking for a marriage record.  With her surname Morgan or Collins.  I even looked under Challicomb.  The only thing I can think of is that maybe they didn't get married and lived DeFacto.  Her parents were Edward and Matilda Morgan.  By 1891 Matilda is a widow. Mr Challicomb is mentioned as a father-in-law, in William Lewis Rees funeral notice in Cardiff 1934. So far I have searched FindMyPast, Free BDM, Ancestry, MyHeritage.  The crystal ball doesn't tell me anything either :-)

Hello people. 
I am trying to find a birth or baptism record for William Morgan born in 1825 Cadaxton Glamorganshire Wales.  There is a suggestion on Ancestry that he was born 5th May 1825, Cadaxton, Glamorgan, Wales - however the person on Ancestry doesn't answer my messages. 
His father was George Morgan married to Ann Mandry (possibly 12 Sept 1821 Swansea).  Can anyone advise me where to search please.  Regards Elaine (Australia)
PS there is a marriage entry for a William Morgans and Elizabeth Harnold which may be their marriage bann
*where do i search for birth records prior to 1837.  I know its parish records but I haven't searched back that far as yet.  Appreciate any advice*
