Hi
I am new to this site and looking for some help. I've hit a brick wall with research on my grandfather's side.
My grandad, William John Davies, was born on 18th December 1910. He always told me he was born in the Rhondda but the 1911 census says he was born in Pentre, Glamorgan. The census lists his dad as John Davies as Head and Annie as John's spouse. It states they were married for 4 years at the time of the census indicating that they were married around 1907.
I have no other information as all the family have passed away. I have searched for around 3 weeks now to try to find my grandad's mother's maiden name to no avail. I found several William John Davies born in Pontypridd (correct reg district I believe) in the last quarter of 1910 and first quarter of 1911. From there I found two potentials - one with the name Jones and one with the name Anthony. However, I can't find any marriages between a John Davies and an Annie Jones nor Annie Anthony.
I'm getting very frustrated and can't move any further. If anybody is able to help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Caroline
