Hi Everyone,
My name is Norman and I am a new subscriber. Can anyone help me to locate my grandfathers
birth certificate ?.
His name was Edward THOMAS and I'm led to believe that he may have been born out of
wedlock. I know that he married Mary- Hannah MILES on the 19 May 1903 at Neath registry
office. Stating his age as 25, his address as 17 Pen-y-dre, Neath, and father not named.
Who can tell me who else lived at the same address?.
I also have his death certificate from 21 July 1943 signed by a doctor,after an inquest
held at Neath,the age on his death certificate is 66. Now putting these two dates together
it would seem that he was born between July 1877 and June 1878 can someone try to locate
him on the 1881 census, when he would presumably be around 4-5yrs old.
One of the witnesses to his marriage was a women called Sarah-Jane THOMAS, I would like to
find out if this was his mother or sister ?, was this who was living at 17,Pen-y-dre,
Neath ?.
I have searched at the PRO in London but to no avail, and as I reside in Hertfordshire it
is not always easy to travel to Swansea. Thanking whom it may concern in anticipation.
