But crucially NOT their places of birth - my mistake, and thanks to Marjorie
for pointing it out.

Marriage Certificates in the UK show not just the couples residence at the
time of the marriage; but their occupations, there father's names and
occupations and the names of the witnesses to the marriage.

Unless marriage certificates are different in Wales, they will only show the
place of residence of the bride and groom at the time of their marriage.

You already seem to have a fair amount of detail to start - I
suggest
getting a copy of you mother's birth certificate and then your
grandparents
marriage certificate, if you don't already have them. The
marriage
certificate will include the ages and places of birth of your grandparents
who should then appear in the 1911 (and probably the 1901) census.
The reference for your mother's birth is:
Jan-Mar 1926 register
District: Bedwellty
Volume: 11a
Page: 139
The reference for your grandparent's wedding is:
Apr-Jun 1920 register
District: Bedwellty
Volume: 11a

I just recently started searching for some family background info.
I'm planning a visit to Cwm, Ebbw Vale this summer were my Mum
was born. Her history is a bit confusing as she was put up for adoption
at a very young age. The story was that her parent (s) were killed. It
looks as though this was not the case(?) None the less we are still
greatly interested in our 'roots.'
My Mum's father was Abraham Hughes. He married her mother
Lucy Brookman in 1920. My Mum, Gwynneth May was born in 1925.
Any suggestions or help re: further details would be greatly appreciated.
