vera i think this all ties in because i have all these names in my information somewhere! just got to get it all straightened out! my auntie has just rung me and she is helping me with some of it by asking the rest of my family! so just writing down as much as i can, and when i get it in the right order il put it in my tree! thanks vera your being really helpful. yeh got a 3 months old and 3 other children, doing this for them really so they know their roots, not that they would be interested at the moment! i presume i ring crickhowell reg office for the marriage certificate and i would be allowed it as their great grandaughter?x

hiya kay, thanks to you to for the info, like i said im presuming i ring crick reg for the certificate? i can see some names that connect to mine. got a head full of toys at the mo,ha ha, im sure i will get it right when im finding my way around easier!

ive just spoke to my aunt and she said that gertrude james married to thomas bailey, my great grandparents was from a place called the 5 house in beufort ebbw vale. it was thomas sister emily that commited suicide she was married to a jim jones and went on too hav two sons terry and david., thomas had a brother billy who died from asthma attack. fred thomas,s father was married twice first to elizabeth ann who died and then to a annie jelly or something like that! i dont know if i need to tell you all this but thought i might just incase you recognise any of it! thanks againx

The easiest way to get the marriage cert of Thomas and Gertude is to order it online from the General Record Office http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

It will cost £7 and arrive in about a week. Everything apart from the father's name (William instead of Fred) ties very well with the family Vera found in 1901 and 1911with the right siblings names, wife's name and they were living in the right place

Good luck with this and all the children

Kayx

ps - if it does turn out the right family in 1901 and 1911 I would think this could be their marriage
