If a father has died before the marriage of his offspring, he is not always
said to be deceased. I have had several examples where the father had died,
but this was not stated on a marriage certificate. So you cannot rely on the
absence of "deceased" to mean he was still living; practice varied, and it
can be misleading.

Subject: [Mon] help on PINCHIN, several questions
help please, this man is giving me a permanent headache !
I'm stuck with a James PINCHIN. On his daughter's marriage cert of 1891
his occupation is given as Miner. This daughter was born in 1851 when his
occupation was given as Haulier (or Hawker) so he must have been alive in
1850, but he doesn't appear on 1881 LDS census or 1891 (which I bought
from Gwent FHS) or 1901. If he was deceased in December 1891 when marriage
took place would it have stated so on marriage cert, was this the 'norm'
or not ?. and if occ. was Haulier would this still be connected to the pit
?
Can some one tell me the site where births etc from local newspapers are
please I seem to remember this from a while ago......... Free press I
think.
researching, WETTON, PINCHIN, DAVIES, BOLT (BOULT) TRATT, HEELS, WOODS,
YOUNG, LLOYD, FLOWERS, OWENS, GILES all in and around
Trevethin,Garndiffiath, Talywain and Pontypool.
any help gatefully received.
