That is a brilliant find Dea. I am noting all this down just in case. Mistaking the 12 children for 12 years of marriages I restricted myself to marriages within that operiod. No wonder I couldn't find anything. Thank you again so much.

I've just looked again....... you are quite right Dea - 12 children 6 alive 6 dead. Back to the drawing board. 12 children by the time you are 39/40, some going !!!

'Could' be this one???

Marriages Jun 1891 (>99%)
Gowman Ann Pontypridd 11a 645

I will see if it follows through.

Just a point - the 1911 does NOT say how long they have been married - It just says they have had 12 children but 6 of them have died.

I will take a look............

During the time it will take for the cert to come I thought I would track Elizabeth's parents back the generations just in case we have the correct people. However doing this is now problematic as Fred's place of birth varies from each of the two census returns - one in Somerset, one in Wales and also the spelling of his surname, neither of which is spelt the same as Elizabeths on her marr registation. So I now have the choice of Haynes, Haines, and Hynes !! Needless to say I am not doing very well. Never mind, I'll look for the marriage. 1911 said 12 years married 6 children born, 6 alive. 1911 minus 12 equals 1899-ish. Hey ho, married 12 years and a 20 year old daughter and a 15 year old son ??? Well we all know it happens ! Looked on freebmd and ancestry for the marriage of Fred(erick) Haynes to an Ann(ie) something - would you believe it, I can't find them !!! I am wondering if they actually bothered to marry at all. It would appear that this little family is going to be a real pain.

Dea

I think your right about her parents listing her on the census even though she is with her husband

There are no marriages after 1911 - 1940 in Glamorganshire for an E J Haynes

Gosh Dea I hadn't got the other 1911 up so didn't realise that. Thank you.And Shirley, I think you are right, my best plan now is to send for the cert to be absolutely sure.
Thank you everyone.

Your best bet is to get her marriage cert. that should name her father,if known

Dea Report 26 Nov 2013 09:30

BUT - that Elizabeth from the 1901 is still at home with her family on the 1911 and does not appear to be married ???

Both census's posted above by Gins.

Dea x

EDIT - Having looked at the image she IS marked as married on the 1911 even though she is recorded under her maiden name.

They probably thought they had to include her even though she was not there at the time.

Sorry folks, the one thing I failed to say that Elizabeth Jane Reeves nee Haynes gave her age as 21 on 1911 census so I was working on about 1889/90 for her year of birth.

Looking at the 1901 census above where she is aged 10, I though that was her but on the accompanying 1911 for the same family I see that Elzabeth is still at home........ mine isn't unfortunately, she is already married. . Thank you all for your efforts.

Did you try to search using just forename and birth info?

You must always allow for mistranscription, errors by enumerators, and the fact that very few people knew how to spell their names.................etc

And the marriage cert would have her father's details (if known)

Did you look for a birth registration?
