  • How do I find out who Alfred's family are?

    I have a person in a tree Im working on and his fathers name is Alfred Cyril Davies, I have been told he was possibly from Wales. I believe he was born about 1912. I know his name from his sons birth and marriage cert. He was in a relationship, and although his "partner" dies with his surname I cant find any evidence that they actually married so it is possible she just aquired his name. How can I work out Alfreds parents names...I have just recieved a possible birth cert for him but I have no way of tying his parents names to him to ensure Im following the right family. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

      I have what I assume is his death record...in (Redbridge, London..1966) but that still wont help me with finding his parents names. Is that what you mean't?




      Edit* Just have to pop out for an hour, will be back soon.

        right, died in redbridge london in 1966. i assume you think the 1912 pontypridd birth is his? could be the hereford one, isnt that close to the welsh border?

          Yep your right...I have just recieved the Pontypridd one, but I cant work out how to confirm it is the right one? Dont want to keep going until I have a way of confirming it. Not sure about the Herefordone...or the borders?

            do you have any siblings at all for alfred? the 'wifes' maiden name? maybe its a case of mistranscription on ancestry's part?

              No dont know of siblings...His wife (partner) was Clara Lousia Pine....but I can find a marriage as I said. I know they definately had two children (sons) possibly a third?? She was known to be called Clare?? but this could be part of a transcription problem.
              She was possible married prior to marrying Alfred to a gent with the surname of (Donovan??) but not sure this is factual.

                  Thanks for your efforts Mike. It appears Alfred and Clara didnt marry, so I assume my hopes of confirming who Alfred's parents were has diminished. Might have to just go with the cert I have and hope its the right line.
