Llantarnam,comes under Newport I think.

Maybe?

Marriages Dec 1919 (>99%)
Davies William T Hawkins Newport M 11a 524
Hawkins Ethel M Davies Newport M. 11a 524

But as Reggie says, it would help if you said how you came by him in the first place.

I think the 1911 might be him - having checked image I think his age is 21, giving a birth year of 1890.

Thanks everyone, I can now destroy death/Cert purchased 2006.
Still searching for my Mother's brother. William Thomas Davies b. 1888 Barry, Glamorgan. Last seen 1911 Census at Pontypridd, Glamorgan. Lodging at 84 Bonvilston Road as Thomas Davies. Miner.Single
It has been a costly business but still cannot find him. Obviously taken by aliens.
Thanks for your hard work.

Sylvia, I am a bit puzzled - so you are saying the above William isn't yours?? Maybe you should have said what you were looking for in the first place.

Sorry If I have confused everyone. I have bought that many Marr.Certs and Death Certs for William Thomas Davies in the past that I am considering giving up. The Cert mentioned was a stray that I was giving a last go at before getting rid of it. It has been a very long search with no outcome. There are so many of that name with different combinations.
William Thomas Davies was born 23 Sept. 1888 at 127 Queen Street, Barry, Glamorgan. s/o William Davies & Mary Jane Davies (Stringer).
I quite recently with help discovered he was a Miner lodging with Connor family at 84 Bonvilston Road, Pontypridd. He was 21 and single. Nothing heard of him since.
Have enquired on all web-sites (mine accidents, war service, Electoral Rolls etc) I am sure everyone is quite fed-up of me making enquiries. I also researched Connor family and am quite certain that the Thomas Davies (dropping the William) is him.I think it best if I just give up on him although sorry that I will never know what happened to my Mother's brother. Should have asked questions when younger. Thank you all for your time.

Can I ask someone to check 1911 Census please for a Mary Catherine Dunford b. 1891 - Reg. at Pontypridd. this age is compatible with William's age so would like to check her out please. Could be last chance as 1920 Census too far off for me.

The marriage that Susan put on 1916 William Thomas Davies to ? Dunford - above.
freebmd Has Bumford and Dumford. Transcript very hazy.
Index of 1911 Census had a Mary Catherine Dunford b. 1891 so thought it might be wife of William before marriage.

Freebmd transcripts very mixed up.

Where did Susan get this marriage mentioned above. 1916 Pontypridd?

Can someone search 1911 for Mary Elizabeth Dunford age 18 born 1893 Pontypridd please. May give a clue as her age is closer to William's and hoping she is single. sorry to be a nuisance but this quest to find William has bugged me for a long time and any clue is a bonus. Many thanks.
