Daughter or niece?

[Merry]

Do you mean Mary Ann doesn't fit because Samuel has enough children without her? (according to the 1911)

I don't know what you mean about middle names?

[Merry]

This is another brother:

Marriages Sep 1890
MORRIS Emma Dyer Pontypridd 11a 742
Newick Thomas Pontypridd 11a 742 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Rogers John Pontypridd 11a 742
Solway Adelaide Elizabeth E Pontypridd 11a 742 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I missed them when I looked at the 1901. Maybe Mary Ann is theirs?

Merry some of the children have middle names and some don't. I was checking to see if the census provided middle names for those who didn't.

And yes, Mary Ann doesn't fit as Samuel has enough children without her.

Thomas married Adelaide. From the children he already has I'd say Mary isn't his but it could be possible, just.

There were 11 brothers in George, Samuel and Thomas's family. I'll have to check them all out. There are a couple I haven't found marriages for so far. I'll put them up when I've done the whole family.

[Merry]

I don't think any of the others were in Wales.

What do you mean by 'just' about Adelaide?

[Kit]

Merry Thomas & Adelaide have a child born Jan 1901 and one registered 4th Q 1902. It's possible to put Mary Ann in the middle but it is unlikely.

[Merry]

Sounds as if it would be easier to just get the birth cert!!

Could she be the illegitimate child of one of the brothers daughters, or are none of them old enough? I realise that wouldn't make her niece, but great-niece......

[Kit]

Merry bite your tongue!

I don't want to buy the cert as it's not my direct line and I have limited resources. Hopefully I can work it out, if not she will go on my wish list.

In my experience it wouldn't be unknown for a great niece to be listed as niece. They used these terms very loosely.

Margaret, you aren't helping.
