Hi all,
I wondered if some kind person could help me, i am looking for my great grandmother Mary Louisa Percy born 1883 in Porthcawl, registartion Bridgend, Glamorgan. She married James Coombs in 1902 in Grangetown, Cardiff and i have found her children one of them being my grandmother Violet Elizabeth Coombs born in Roath, Cardiff 1904. Mary died in 1975 in Barry, South Glamorgan and thats all i know about her. I have tried to locate her on the census but all i can find is her on the 1911 census with her husband and two sons. i can not locate her on the 1901 census a year before her marriage or on the 1891 census. Please could somebody help me find Mary Louisa Percy on the 1901 or 1891 census please.
Kindest regard Heidi

I can't see her on either the 1891 or 1901 censuses on ancestry
you may have to buy her marriage certificate to discover the name of her father and her address.

Thank you so much Andy and Mel, all this information is so helpful i cant believe how much information you have found, thank you so much for helping me crack the case of Mary Percy and all her family.
Andy i just rang Cardiff council and they can not locate a burial in Cardiff municipal cemeteries, so may have to look at Parish records or outside of Cardiff for Charles Percy. Thank you so much guys i really appreciate all of your help, very exciting Mel to be looking at records in Cornwall what a beautiful place have very fond memories of holidays there as a child.

I'm not sure if the info on Sarah is correct. Needs more work- Who is Margaret- mother-in-law on 1901 & 1911 census?? I think you'll need to buy the 1883 marriage cert to find out who Sarah has listed for her father.
I've just had another look at the 1911 census
Margaret is listed as MOTHER-IN-LAW and although her name has been transcribed as Percy, looking at the image, I think it's actually PERRY.
possible for 1861? Name: Margaret J Perry Age: 27 Estimated Birth Year: 1834 Relation: Lodger Gender: Female Where born: Lelant, Cornwall, England Civil Parish: St Ives Town: St Ives County/Island: Cornwall Country: England Registration district: Penzance Sub-registration district: St Ives ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Household schedule number: 68 Piece: 1590 Folio: 28 Page Number: 14 Household Members: Name Age Mary A Ninnis 52 Mary A Ninnis 18 Catherine Ninnis 13 John Juiell 69 Grace Williams 17 Margaret J Perry 27 married Lodger Dressmaker Sarah L Perry 2 Cornwall, St Ives
Possible baptism for Sarah:
Name: Sarah Louisa Perry Gender: Female Baptism Date: 27 Jul 1859 Baptism Place: St. Ives, Cornwall, England Father: Francis Perry Mother: Margaret Jane Perry FHL Film Number: 1595570 Reference ID: p 203
This may not be correct- but worth looking into.
This death could also be related:
Name: Margaret J James Birth Date: abt 1835 Date of Registration: Dec 1922 Age at Death: 87 Registration district: Newport Inferred County: Monmouthshire Volume: 11a Page: 195
I wonder if the P initial under Sarah's marriage (that Andy put up earlier) stands for Perry??
