BRITTON family Glmorgan Wales

[kimmacmillan]

I am confident this is them as Mary J has children Mary Elizabeth & Emily. This is keeping with some information I have. That would put Mary Jane born 1873-1874.

I am so happy I posted. This information is invaluable.

Hi how do you wish for us to trace him, forwards, or trace his parents etc?

Here he is in 1901:-

William Britton 35 occ Colliery Stoker Above Ground b Bristol Gloucs.
Mary J 28 b Preston Lancs
Mary E 7 b Mardy
Annie 5 b Mardy
Emily 1 b Mardy
Plus 2 Boarders
Residing at 12, Pentre Road, Ystradytodwg, Pontypridd, Glamorganshire.
Census Ref RG13/5020/103/4

OK since everyone has been so very helpful  I wonder if I could challenge again with a BRITTON family brick wall.
I can find:
Births Jun 1922 Britton Violet M Wildman Todmorden 9a338
Marriages Jun 1941 Britton Violet M Sharpe Todmorden 9a831
Marriages Jun 1949 Britton Violet M Traviss Todmorden 2d1259

  I am confused by BMD as I think it says Violet Britton is the daughter of Ann Britton & Mary Wildman in 1841??? I was under the understanding this family tied back to the family found:
1901
William Britton 35 occ Colliery Stoker Above Ground b Bristol Gloucs.
Mary J 28 b Preston Lancs
Mary E 7 b Mardy
Annie 5 b Mardy
Emily 1 b Mardy
Plus 2 Boarders
Residing at 12, Pentre Road, Ystradytodwg, Pontypridd, Glamorganshire.
Census Ref RG13/5020/103/4

Hi are you saying that Violet should be the offspring of William and Mary J? If so Mary J would have been maybe too old to have been the mother, the link with Britton/Wildman in 1841 seems to be 2 ladies on same page of marriages in Leeds?

I wish it had been that easy. Family history stated that Violet Britton was family? I am now trying to find the connection. I know this is 'our' Violet for sure. I have been unsuccessful finding her parents or the connection back to our Britton's.
Marriages Jun 1941 Britton Violet M Sharpe Todmorden 9a831
Marriages Jun 1949 Britton Violet M Traviss Todmorden 2d1259

I am just looking at the familysearch original site at the 1881 British Census and there is a William Britten son living at 36 Gordon Street, Preston, Lancashire, England. If Mary Jane is living at 114 Adelphi St. Preston looking at Google maps they are living very close to each other. Could this be my William??? There are also lots of brothers which Violet could then come from.

M J & William Britton have more children one son is named Arthur I'm speculating here that may be he was named after William's father and I'm wondering if this could be William on 1871c.

As previously mentioned the marriage certificate for William & Mary Jane will provide the answers

1871 Strafford Street, St Philip & Jacob, Bristol
RG10 Piece:2559 Folio:18 Page:27     
Arthur BRITTON Head M 36 1835 St. George’s Gloucester Labourer
Mary Wife F 35 1836 St. George’s Gloucestershire
George Son M 14 1857 St George’s Gloucestershire
Elizh Daughter F 11 1860 St. George’s Gloucestershire
William Son M 8 1863 Bristol Gloucestershire
Polly Daughter F 3 1868 Gloucestershire
Rose Daughter F 0 1871 Gloucestershire

Purely for info. as everything should be vertified just in case this does turn out to be the family of William Britton bn 1864 Bristol

3 children christenings

Again ONLY a possibility for William  on 1881 census

If you do obtain the marriage certificate please let us know the details we may be able to help further

Of course William Britton is b: 1863 in Bristol, Gloucestershire. I think my brain is stressed. Thank you.

Dear Kim

My grandparents were Frederick Charles Pederson and Mary Elizabeth Britton.  They moved to Yorkshire from Pontypridd in approximately 1930. 

I have more information about children etc... if you are still researching.
