	I have the marriage certificate of David Roberts and Margaret Davies who married in 1919 Bridgend. Both gave the same address in Pontycymmer, Bridgend. David Roberts aged 23 Shoemaker (master) his father Edward Roberts, Collierry Foreman. Margaret Davies aged 24. Father: Joseph Davies a Market Gardener. I've tried searching for both on the Welsh Census records but can't find either of them with their father! Copy Certificate to anyone related. Regards...Teresa

	This is a possibility for David in 1911 (he gives his birthplace as Pontycymmer). His father's occupation sounds like a foreman. :- 1911 census transcription details for: 40 Alexandra Road National Archive Reference: RG14PN32545 RG78PN1859 RD591 SD2 ED5 SN558 Reg.

	Is the reason for this post merely to offer the cert? If so, add it to www.bmdshare.com

	Thanks Kath That could be either of them. Unfortunately I don't know where either of them were born. I've also searched by addres on the 1911 census and can't find either of them living at the address on the marriage certificate, 52 Victoria Street Pontycymmer. Witnesses: Justinia Mainwaring and William Mainwaring. Reggie I will add the certificate to freebmd as and when I'm ready.
