Hello
I am new to the list and so will post what I am searching for.
I have recently learned that my gr grandfather may have been born in Wales. On my gr
aunt's death certificate it listed his name as Edward Wilbur Wales. I had thought his
name Edwin Wales and have been searching places in the US for him. Her death certificate
lists his place of birth as Wales, England.
So, I went to rootsweb, to the BMD free search and put in his name and I got a possible
match! I was surprised. It lists an Edward Wales born in September 1858 in Llanelly. It
lists a book and page number, but not much else. I have no way of knowing if this is him,
but in over a year, it is the first time I have gotten a match.
Is there anyway to know if there was a family in Llanelly with last name of Wales? All
that I know of him is that he was a railroad engineer and that he was in Mexico at some
point after 1890 as his daughter went to visit him. He may have even died in Mexico, but
that is for another day.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
