It's OK you are not affected by the postal strike, this is only for the UK


From the GRO
Due to continued industrial action being taken by Royal Mail staff, there is a possibility of delays, by up to three days, in delivery of certificates despatched by GRO within the UK between 2nd and 9th October. Overseas mail, which is sent via UK Mail International will not be affected. GRO wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers.

Claire,
Im not sure of Olive but Sybil is born I think 13 sep 1914 - she died in 1995 in Podsmead.
Olive married an Archibald Evan Hughes had a son Colin he was born 20-7-1943 this is almost all i have.
Thank you for your help

This could be right as i have his death certificate and i worked out John Owen was 77 when he died which made his birth year 1881ish.
I also cant understand why on his death certificate it has John Owen Roberts (Hall) is there a reason why a man would have an additional surname?
thanks

Rob, I dont have the birth certificate for Sybil it is on the way we have been told it will be delayed for postal reasons!
See Sybil left my nan when she was 8 and disappeared never to be seen again so we know very little. My nan (still alive) spent years and a lot of money to find her when she did find her she had died 2 years earlier and the reason we couldnt find her is because when she left she changed her name from sybil to Syliva Joan Burt then a few years later married Arthur Hoare and we cant track him either as Sybil had 2 other children to Arthur it seems the more i look for things the more stuff pops up that i have to look for that as well its like going around in circles!

Amanda do you have dates of birth for Olive & Sybil?

Sybil Roberts is my great grandmother - so on my grandmothers birth certificate Rosalie Butt daughter of William Henry Butt and Sybil Roberts 1940 in Pontypridd in the "present at birth" section is Laura Ann Jones (mother) so i assume this is Sybils mother.
thanks for your help

oh thanjks for that, that could help! She died before John and he remarried Hilda Constance - she was easy to find the other part of the family is almost a mystery!
thanks

Thanks for that that is the only one i could find myself but would this mean it is the only John Owen? I have to wait 3 weeks to get the certificate thats if its the right one!
