Marriage cert

[Zoemcdougall]

Merry, His wife was called Mary Jane Jones, in 1911 -1956 they were living at Abergafren Farm Porthmadog, his wife's DOb I don't have but guessing 1880- 1881 as she was only a few months on the 1881 census.

The 1939 register is on FMP which has a free access this weekend.

Thanks Julie,

There is a Mary J Jones born 1879 in Portmadoc UD but it says "plus 2 more people who are officially closed". I would have thought they would be in a "RD" (Rural District) instead of a UD (Urban District), but it doesn't come up with Portmadoc RD.

We may end up having to wait till after 16th Feb to try and find them though.

The free access doesn't include the 1939 Register.

Hmmm....

Do you think they would have had anyone else living with them? Any adult children for instance.

Is Abergafren Farm the same place as Abergafren, Minffordd mentioned in the 1959 obit?

And back to basics - which county in Wales are we talking about at that time? (as I can't find an of those places with those spellings yet! lol)

Now I;m confused, as I thought this thread:

http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/F...ANE+JONES+1881

was about the same Mary Jane Jones, but she isn't on the 1881 census according to a post by Elizabethherts (post #8) and post #17 suggests she was born later in the year. Zoe, the following post says you were buying the cert!! I don't know if you ever did, but maybe it was the wrong one?

Merry,

Abergafren Farm is minffordd, is next to Porthmadog. county of Gwynedd, all the children they had. had all married by 1939,

One child born 1909 died in 1933 from TB. her husband died 2 weeks after, also from TB leaving one child who was brought by her mum's sister Elizabeth, (Edward & Mary's eldest daughter)

[Merry]

But it would have been Merionethshire in 1939?

Was Mary Jane b at the end of 1881?

I did order one cert but I ordered the wrong one. Merry, Elizabeth with what she said, in her post about Mary's year of birth I got confused & guessed her YOB due to not being able to view my tree, so I am truly sorry to confuse you.
