Hello and welcome to RootsChat

Hope we can help you.

It is RootsChat policy to not post details of the living (spam etc) so we have to be a little careful.

Could you give the name of the person you are looking for Do you know where/what county they were born in??

I have found a Winifred Edmonds who married William A lloyd - but her father was Edwin H? Edmonds occ Engineer agricultural machines?

Any further info you can give would help

Hey Suz,
Winifred and William were mygrandparents. I guess I made a mistake with my great grandfather's name.  Can you tell me anything else. My dad Albert was born in 1917. What was my great grandmother's name?

Thank You
Gloria

To follow William A Lloyd's line back you really need the marriage cert for he and Winnie.
When ordering use the spelling given on FreeBMD for Winifred or just use William's name
Winnifred Edmonds, William A Lloyd June 1/4 1915 Cricklade vol 5a page 131 (check details on FreeBMD)

All children born Swindon. So Susannah the mother may be the Welsh link. But to be sure you don't chase the wrong family you need that marriage cert for William A and Winifred
