William Henry S Bennett b.1876/7 in Appledore Devon

l am looking for the marriage of Rebecca Jones b.9/2/1881 Swansea - l believe it was conducted in Swansea approx 1905.

[Milliepede]

Can't see one in Swansea 1905 - any idea of the groom?

There is one Jun 1904

Groom either Thomas Burgess or Thomas Duncan.

Can't see one in Swansea 1905 - any idea of the groom?

The groom is in the title of the topic (William Henry S Bennett) 

The 1911 census has them married for 6 years, so I am guessing that is where c1905 comes in.

Welcome to Rootschat 

Curious as the marriage given by Welshjo seems to fit.  Although the first born in 1911 census has Mmn Jones. Cannot locate marriage for couple William/Rebecca before 1911 or death of Lucy Bennett, nee Richards.

There is a possible marriage that would fit, but you would need the cert/s to prove/disprove.  Your couple are still together in 1939 register.

Cannot locate any children for 1904 marriage, only looked to when W H Bennett Jnr born.
