Hi, all of the names you list are in my tree, Mary Ann is my Great Grandmother. Her daughter Elizabeth Ann married my Grandfather William Henry Watkins in 1918. If you are interested in further details let me know. I also have a good trace back on the Bush Family to Sarah Bush in 1796 from Midsomer Norton, Somerset.

With regard to our other posting, I have Mary Ann's Father as Henry Pearce Chlew, born 1857 in Cornwall, died 7 MAR 1914 Pennsylvania, USA. I could find no connection with her Mother, how did you make the connection?

Cheers,
Colin

Both my parents are dead, and I have canvassed all my other relatives to no avail. Per your previous suggestion I have found both the witnesses now having struggled to decipher the surname of William, they were both from Mountain Ash. However that doesn't give me any connection to James. I will have to take a chance on getting birth certificates and see what that gives me.
Cheers Colin :)

Thanks for the reply, I have two possibles and one of them is the one you found. I think I will try both and see what turns up on the certificates. Good point on the witnesses, I will see what I can find on them. One of the names is legible, Matilda Rogers, but the other is William "something".

Thanks again
Colin :)

His age on the marriage cert is 26, his Father James's occupation was Timberman, he is also shown as being deceased. I am jot sure where he was born because there are a few possible matches for their names on the census lists, especially as I do not know the name of the mother of William Henry or any siblings.

The only specific I have is the address of 33 Aberpennar Street, Mountain Ash in 1918. If I can get a bit more info on his mother then I can order a birth certificate. Thanks for your interest.

Can anyone help regarding  the Watkins name in Mountain Ash?, South Wales. I am stumped on info on my Grandfather William Henry Watkins born around 1892, he married Elizabeth Ann Bush in 1918 and lived at 38 Aberpennar Street in Mountain Ash. His father was James Watkins.  All my research on Ancestry has come to a dead end as there are a few entries under this name, any clues would be very useful.
Much obliged
Colin Watkins
