Moira, follow the instructions helpfully posted by Sylvia to search trees... note the "advanced search" option ( under Tools) no longer works on the site so really the only way of anyone else seeing that you are searching for a family is via a google search or 'search trees'. You have to be pro-active :-)

thanks for the above info, is there anyone else looking at this family, Margaret Griffiths born 1874 Letterston Pembs. later married John Williams and lived in ferndale, then was Roberts when she moved to caerau maesteg where she died in 1911. I would be interested if anyone has information on her children, Martha Ann, William H, Thomas and David James and are related to this family

Thanks for all the info it is a great help moira

Yes it does, Gritty - just edited my post.

Actually looks like David James Williams- FMP transciption was way off!!

And Thomas and Margaret only married 15 years. 4 children, 3 still living.

David Jones is on the image as David James Williams - not Roberts.

For ref: the details given are from the 1911 census- not the 1901 census
