	Good Afternoon, I was just hoping for any kindly second pairs of eyes as to who you would conclude to be the Mother and Father of Raymond Matthews born in Bedwellty, Wales on 30 Sep 1926, passed away 16 June 2003 in Coventry, England. There's a lot of disagreement and outlandish theories including that the Mother was Rosina/Rose Mills from the Bath, Somerset area on Ancestry but, noteably, without a single record to back any of the assertions up. In looking up the Raymond Matthews birth, the Mother's Maiden Name is Adams in any event. I've already worked on the assumption that Rosina/Rosa/Rose Mills might have married Adams first and then Matthews and identified a marriage to Owen Adams but the dates don't add up with the birth of Raymond Matthews. Thanks :-)
