Hi Barb, have you tried the Parish Registers from the parish of the
children's birth?

Subject: [BLAENAUGWENT] John Henry WILLIAMS VC
Hi List
I am researching one of my cousins families, and i would dearly love to be
able to add the rest of John Henry WILLIAMS children to my data base for
Ashlee. John Henry WILLIAMS was the most decorated Soldier of the First
World War.
John Henry WILLIAMS was born in Nantyglo Monmouthshire on the 19th
September
1886
He married Gertrude WILLIAMS born 1888 Tredegar Monmouthshire in 1908
In total I believe (from the information supplied by the website that is
about him
http://www.willys-mb.co.uk/vc.htm) and the South Wales Borderers
Museum, he had 10 children.
I know his first child was Doris E born 1909 and died 1910 and his last
child was Bertha WILLIAMS born 1926.
I would love to be able to fill in the other 8 children's names.
As you all would be aware with the mothers name not appearing in the BDM's
until mid 1911 the first couple of children are hard to find, but, trying
to
find the names of the other children with both the Fathers surname as
WILLIAMS and the mothers maiden name as WILLIAMS it is a daunting task
trying to find these children from Australia.
Is there anyone in Monmouthshire that has any suggestions on how i can
narrow the fields to find the missing 8 children ?
Ashlee is the great granddaughter of John Henry Williams and trying to get
info from her mum Shirley is not easy. Shirley is not interested at all in
Genealogy.
Hoping someone can help me
Regards
Barb
