Does the adoption file say she is Rhiannon O born in 1935?

I ask because the following birth registrations all look to be the same Rhiannon who then dies.

Bala became Merioneth E district in October 1935.

Births Sep 1935
Edwards Rhiannon O Owen Bala 11b 454
Evans Rhiannon O Owen Merioneth e. 11b See D'35

She was registered as Edwards and then Evans once her mother married:

Marriages Dec 1935
Edwards Gwen Evans Merioneth E. 11b 803
Evans John T Edwards Merioneth E. 11b 803

This ties in with that 1939 record and explains why Rhiannon is missing,

So Riannon O Edwards can't be the right lady as she died as a baby

Thank you for your replies
I’ve gone through the adoption paperwork. Her name in 1962 was still edwards as that’s the surname given on the paperwork in 1962. She was 27 when she gave birth to my dad in March 1962. The paper says that Rhiannon was born out of wedlock and only lived with her mother and brother and that my father wasn’t her only child to have been adopted. My dad also recalls his birth mother contacted the adoption agency to ask for contact with him when he was 16 or 18 so this puts her still alive in 1978-80 time. His birth father was a married man who was 45 years old but she hasn’t put his name. I only gathered she was from Bala as she’s the only Rhiannon born in 1935

Well she may have been 27 in 1962 but was still to have a blrthday the same year

The other one I posted didn't marry til 1971 and died in 1985

She was born to mmn Edwards too

Births Jun 1934 (>99%)
Edwards Rhiannon Edwards Dolgelley 11b 480

And you notice she is with her mum and brother on the 1939 register that I posted


This is the birth of the brother

Births Jun 1927
Edwards Robert I Edwards Bala 11b 519

His death
England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 No Image

Name: Robert Iorwerth Edwards
Death Age: 71
Birth Date: 30 Apr 1927
Registration Date: Jul 1998
Registration district: Denbighshire North
Inferred County: Clwyd
Register Number: A103
District and Subdistrict: 8111A

Dob matches the 1939 record

So this seems to be the right family as the mum was single and she had a son as well as Rhiannon This ties with the info you have in the adoption papers

Sorry yes I understand now. That seems more likely then doesn’t it. Aww what a shame I was hoping that Rhiannon would still be alive. Do I need to upgrade to be able to get links and things to link to her? Like children she may of had? I think Ernest that she married could be my fathers birth father as he was never mentioned the paper work says he was a married man and was older than Rhiannon and Ernest who Rhiannon marries in 1971 is a lot older than her... possibility?! I’ve tried searching for children but there are a lot of children that have the same surname ????
