Find Ancestors

Someone else in the family has done a little research, and I inherited most of this information from them. I'm hoping that the marriage certificates will help to verify Edwards father at least.

Ditto -- and their birthdates, and where the info about possible other children came from.

A tip -- if you're spending a fortune to see censuses, you are probably doing it at this site. Credits here are the most expensive and inefficient way of doing searches. A subscription at Ancestry (there's a 14-day free trial) or even at this site will work out cheaper in the long run almost always.

Can i ask how you come to who Edwards parents were

Searching for a needle in a haystack... if anyone can help I'd be grateful:

Looking for Edward Williams (c1896 - c1830) married to Frances Crean (1900 - 1979) on 27/12/1921. Probably died in or around Cwmbran, S. Wales - pos. on 2/10/1930. Their children are Cynthia, Roy, Kenneth and Joan.

Edwards parents were John Williams (d. c'1940) and Louisa Shepherd (1863 - 1934). Married (I think!) Sept 1894 - Cardiff district.

Siblings may include: William John (c'1889-c'1967), Thomas (b. c'1894), Edgar (c'1898 - c'1957), Doris May (b. c'1899), Trevor (b. c'1901) and Agnes (b. c'1904).

I know that Edward was in WW1 (I'm really interested to find out more about this) and worked down the mines in S.Wales on his return.

I'm a bit of a newbie and have spent a fortune trying to find Edward in the 1901 census. Freebmd isn't helping me because I can't work out which Edward Williams is MY Edward Williams without seeing the family relationships. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can take this forward?

(Incidentally, I've got Edward's marriage certificate on order and also the marriage certificate for his parents John and Louisa).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a more experienced researcher can jump start my search as it seems to have stalled somewhat!

Many thanks,

Lisa
