Hi List
My name is Barbara Cunningham and I am new to your list, and am hoping to
get a little help with one of my cousins ancestors.
John (known as Jack) Henry WILLIAMS was born in 1886 in Nantyglo and went on
to be Wales' most decorated soldier of the first world war.
My cousin Chris Daly is married to his grandaughter Shirley nee Davies.
With many thanks to their daughter Ashlee i have been able to get a lot of
information regarding Jack, his war record and his life. I know he married
twice the first to Gertrude WILLIAMS in 1908 it was registered in Bedwellty,
the second marriage was to Morfyyd REES in 1937.
I also know that he had 10 children 5 boys and 5 girls.
Here is why i am hoping someone on the list can help.
I know Doris was born in 1909 and died in 1910
I also know that Bertha was the last of the children born to Jack and
Gertrude in 1926 as Gertrude died in 1927.
As the WILLIAMS name is common in Wales would anyone know where i can look
to find the names of the other children ?
I tried going through the births register, but, in the January to March
quarter of 1912 alone i found 4 babies born whose last name was WILLIAMS and
their Mothers maiden name was WILLIAMS too.
Somehow i dont think she had quads in 1912
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated
TIA
Barb
