Hi,
I'm looking for information about my grandfather's parents. I've tried researching birth records and all it tells me is that my grandfather's mothers surname was Rose.
I've tried looking for a marriage record of Baker and Rose and nothing adds up.
- My grandfather was Aneurin Baker
- born 1920 in Pontypridd, Wales.
- He had a sister called Ellen who was born in 1919 and died a month later.
Can anyone help me. My dad has been trying to solve this mystery for years.

You need to buy the birth certificate to find mothers christian name.

England & Wales, Birth Index, 1916-2005 about Aneurin Baker
Name: Aneurin Baker
Mother's Maiden Surname: Rose
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1920
Registration District: Pontypridd
Inferred County: Wales
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: 1112


There are quite a few marriages male Baker to female Rose so important to know what her christian name was.

Doesn't mean because the children were born in Pontypridd that the couple married in Pontypridd, they could have married anywhere!

There are also a Lynda and Rodney born in Pontypool with mother's maiden name Rose, are these also siblings or just a coincidence?
