You'd need to send for the certificate to get their fathers' names and occupations, to try and find them in the 1901 census.

I have just found out the Hannah and Joseph Lane are Irish, can anyone still help?

Leighton Report 23 Nov 2008 20:13

in the 1891 wales census, you mentioned Richard Davies 24 - brother-in-law; Lliw Forge, Glamorgan
Sarah A Davies 17 - sister-in-law.

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law to who?

The relationship should be to the designated head of the household.

Mary, Sarah & Ellen are the last 3 listed in the household and all born Carmarthenshire which doesn't make sense as Morgan & Richard were born in Glamorgan. I'd guess that Mary was also born in Glamorgan, as were all others.

If they are not on FreeBMD (which is free & much more fun to discover yourself), it would be too huge a task as you have to search the images page by page.

Thnk you Ozi, where would i find FreeBMD?
Also if i paid the £35 on this site, will i be able to access the births, deaths, marriage records and census?

freebmd.org.uk - very easy to use

I've never used the credits on here as I've had a subscription with Ancestry for about 5 years. People do tend to think there are cheaper sites as GR doesn't have records of its own.

Births, deaths, marriages up to about 1925 are available free on Freebmd, & they're adding to them all the time.

In my opinion Ancestry is the best site for censuses & many other records including images of later bmd. You can have a free trial & pay monthly if you decide it's worth it.

Ozi.
