	On Free BMD: David Howell Williams born June quarter 1881, Crickhowell. (Volume 11b Page 125) Margaret Ellen Williams born Dec. quarter 1883, Crickhowell (Volume 11b Page 91) Jenkin Davies Williams born March quarter 1891, Crickhowell (Volume 11b Page 85) (Could mother's maiden name be Davies? Or Howell from David's middle name?) Still can't find the marriage. I think your best bet is to buy the birth certificate of one of the children to get mother's maiden name. Order from GRO using volume and page number. Don't pay more than 7 pounds. Margaret

	Hi jolly I'am many many miles away thankfully from the info you have given you must be a local to know so much about the area though, or do you have ancesters like me from this area you never know we could be related.

	This looks like the family on the 1891 census. Mind you, if I'd known it was Wales I would have ignored this thread. This Canadian has great difficulty with Welsh names! 1891 census Upper Rassan?Llangynidr?Breconshire, Wales William William, head, 32, coal miner, born Brecon, Llangeattock? Margaret, wife, 29 David Howell, son, 9 Margaret Ellen, dau, 7 Mary, dau, 4 Jenkin, son, 3 months Wife & children all born Llangynidr?

	Free BMD has oodles of William Williams marrying a Margaret, lots of them in Wales. We have to know what area you're talking about. Margaret

	It usual to find the first child is born within 2 years of the marriage & often within the same area as the birth. This does not always work but it's a good starting point. Also worth remembering, they weren't saints children did arrive before marriage!

	Do you have any more information? I can't find a William Williams born 1859 married to a Margaret on any of the censuses. Do you know where they were born or where they lived? Margaret

	Thankyou Margaret and me in Cyprus i'am going to google to see if i can find anything. Hopefully be back later. Thankyou

	google bmd -birth marriage and death,in the area you think they were married,and the year -and if you are very lucky you'll come up with a match! Not all records have been transcribed yet---waiting for volunteers! Family search is worth a try. Send for the certificate though if you do think you have a match-£7 is more than worth all the hassle of going up the wrong tree! Have fun
