You say your grandmother was Margaretta Williams......dob..1890...born in Swansea Wales....reg Bristol.... If she was born in Swansea it is more likely that she would have been registered in Swansea. Are you sure that you have found the correct registration? Her birth certificate will show parents names, including mothers maiden name, and fathers occupation.
