samuel john rees hannah catherine jones
« on: Wednesday 30 October 24 06:10 GMT (UK) »
hello people.
im looking for a marriage between Samuel John Rees and Hannah Catherine Jones.       
Samuel John Rees  was born to William Rees and Naomi Rees (nee Walters) on 17th September 1884 in Argoed.
 
In the 1901 census Samuel John Rees is at Smith Arms Inn, Pengam, Bedwelty with his family. 
In the 1911 census he was with his mother Naomi Rees (nee Walters) -  again at Smith Arms Inn, Pengam, Bedwelty.
 
The earliest military record I have is a "Descriptive Report on Joining" where it states the name and address of the next of kin.  In this case it is Hannah Catherine Rees, Brookfield House, Aberfan, Glamorgan (wife). 
Particulars as to marriage - Hannah Catherine Jones, Merthyr Baptist Chapel, and current address, which is Brookfield House. 
There is a date of 10th December 1913 written just below Merthyr Baptist Chapel.  This could have been a date he had originally signed up as war was looming.  (please see attached)

I did apply to GRO UK with the date 10/12/1913, but they supplied me with the wrong certificate as that Samuel's father was a Thomas Rees not a William Rees.

The dates of 1911 and 1913 are the dates I'm looking at for the marriage of Samuel John Rees and Hannah Catherine Jones.  Samuel's parents were William Rees and Naomi Rees (nee Walters).
Samuel died 14th October 1931 at Brookfield House, Aberfan.  His fortune left to his wife Hannah Catherine Jones
I can't access free BMD at the moment.  Any reference or newspaper notice I would much appreciate.  Regards  Elaine

Looking at your earlier thread re William Lewis Rees with the same parents,
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=886516.0 , this Samuel John Rees might be the wrong family.

Thank you to all that have contributed.  I have amended my original post to include a record of his death on 14th October 1939.  Please see attached.  He left his fortune to Hannah Catherine Jones.  Im not sure why the 1911 census of Samuel John Rees with his children is stated as a widow.
My main search is when did he get married. 

Thank you all once again.  Any other input would be appreciated.  Regards Elaine

Sorry, am I mistaken then in thinking you have the wrong Samuel?

The 1911 Samuel, widower, looks to be the one from the Military record  and as glencare posts, he was married to Mary Ann Jones.
You have Samuel living with his mother in 1911.
It seems a bit confusing.

We have given you the likely marriage to Hannah. Is that the one you have which had the ‘wrong’ father?
