Hey folks, you have been great, but now I have another quandry!!!
Edward Davies born according to 1881 census in 1878 Pontiprydd, Wales – he was 3 George was 5 so that’s not helpful!
On his marriage cert Edward said he was 3 years older born in 1875. I thought it was because his wife Elizabeth Ann Evans was older and a widow with children. He married her in 1906 at Pontiprydd, we have that cert.
Now on his death cert which we have just received it states age of 58 in 1933 which does tie in with the marriage certificate . Making his birth year 1875.
There are 2 births in 1875 and 3 births in 1878, the only thing I think I can do is apply for them one at a time until I find the right one but thats getting very expensive if you can check it out for me on line? I only have a few days left on FindMyPast and I can't find the birth!!
Can you see the birth certificate for parents?
His parents were William and Martha Davies of 31 Miskin Road, Ystradyfodwg, Glamorganshire:
Tonypandy is in the district of Pontypridd in 1906 but on the death certificate in 1900 it is the sub district of Ystradyfodwy , district Pontypridd, and Caerau is in the district of Bridgend, sub district of Maesteg – confusing or what?
Please help if you can as your methods far exceed mine on finding the answers.
Much obliged if you are reading this again. Maz
