Hello Kevin 

As Mildred was born in 1906 you can find her easily in the 1911 and pay to view the original document.

Also marriage of Annie and William in 1898 (June Q)
Cardiff volume 11a page 512

[Morganllan]

You need Annie's marriage certificate to confirm her Father's name and occupation, but this is possible for her in 1891:

I can see most of the children's births in Merthyr T district but only find Annie Jane in Cardiff district.

You need Annie's marriage certificate to confirm her Father's name and occupation

The certificate may not help if the marriage of Henry Mitchell and Margaret James in Merthyr district in 1877 is the right family. 

Modified - Annie's birth name was Hedley

In 1841 the correct age was to be written for everyone under 15 years of age. For those age 15 and over, the age was to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5.

[Morganllan]

Think this is Thomas in 1851 but you need to check links along the way. Get birth certificate for a child to get wife's maiden name and then get the marriage certificate. Sorry if stating the obvious
