Re: Searching for my grandmother's birth record
Okay, so Margaret (senior) and George. (By the way, how lucky am I to be researching Smiths and Jones in Wales?!) But I have probed a few dead ends and just found a lead I can’t close just yet. So, could this be a birth record for Margaret (senior, born 1877)? So on the 1911 census of her with Georg...

Re: Searching for my grandmother's birth record
Does anyone know much about divorce around 1901-1906? So the way I see it, George Sollars called himself George Jones and possibly married Margaret (whatever-her-surname was-when-they-married) around 1903 (as they claim in the 1911 census) and then Caroline Ann Sollars married William Joseph Skinner...

I had a thought that Reginald might have been in contact with his half brothers/sisters. If the Sollars connec...
