Find Ancestors

Well thanks for everyones help i have come to the opinion that their prob the same family and Robert John Parry being put as 5 is an error and he was prob just visting his parents when the census was taken.


Kind regards and thanks again everyone. :-D

Hi Joy yes i will add that to my fav on my computer i was in a Coal fourm thing but i never really used it as i needed to find more out about my family. I now know more so went back i forgot my password so did the thing for if you can not remeber password .

Their meant to send you an email im still waiting now and it was over a week ago.

No i dont drive but im planning a trip to Wales at some point i dont want to go until i know more about the Welsh side though. Im really trying to find my cousins.

Good :)

If you are interested in reading about the coal mines - http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/bigpit/
A fascinating place to visit if you can travel that far, or interesting to read about anyway.

Thanks Holly i norm just copy and paste but it comes out really long. I have no Idea when David past away i only found out about him a few weeks back when i got Robert Parry's Marriage Cert.

He makes his mark on the cert in 1899 so his still around then Maddie. It seems a lot died young in the coal mines my grandad William John Lewis died just aged 54 of miners lung. So maybe David went the same way.

Thanks joy i got it now. :-D

I have searched through all the David Parry's in 1911..........and i can't find him! :-S

Put a thread on Genealogy Chat Robin.........to find out how to reduce the census records.
I have never had that problem, so i don't know!

Hi Marie yes the 1891 Robert is deffo mine but just wonder who the five year old is in 1901 ?.

1911
11 Henry St, Bargoed
Robert an Under Ground Haulier.

If you would like the image, send a message to me with your email address and I shall send it to you.

Yes Joy the family were in the Bargoed area then at some point some one put it on here for Robert Parry but i dont know where his dad David parry is after 1901.

Don't know much about Welsh geography so not sure how significant this is, but the 5 year old Robert J in 1901 was born Ystradyfodwg Glamorganshire, whereas the 16 year old in 1891 was born Bagillt Flintshire

Well Robert John Parry marrys Mary Ann Griffiths in 1899 his address given on wedding cert is 129 Gelli Road and his dad David Parry is down as a Colliery Foreman.

Was he married to Mary? and would they have been married 12 years in 1911?
If so, he may have been in Bargoed in 1911.

I am trying to find them on the 1911......it might give some clues.

But not having any luck yet!!!

Im not to sure now Jill maybe there two different familys.

Off the same place Holly but im not very good on computers. :-S

His wife Mary is 38 in 1891 and 42 in 1901 - at least that's what I made it when I looked at the original.

Is it possible that David married again - to another Mary - who would have been 6 years younger than his first wife and they had a son called Robert - so there are two Roberts in the family?

I know it seems a bit unlikely in many respects but I have come across two instances of a chap marrying a woman with the same forename - which is a devil to unpick!

Also, when my father was born his mother named him John. She did not know that his father already had 5 children, one of whom was also named John. So, it's possible ...
