"In 1921 her pob recorded as
Mynyddislwyn, Monmouthshire" from SS post
Just to keep you informed I think my friend is ordering the marriage 1918
Hi LM
Has your friend let you know if they ordered the marriage certificate yet……while we wait I’ve taken another look - no further forward really - hoping that the census details posted by SS is the person you are looking for
You may already have all this info. but just in case you don’t.........
Do you think this is the same William?
