Tawny Report 20 Dec 2014 23:50

I am wondering if anyone could help me find a possible marriage for Arthur Britten?

I don't know if Arthur married but would like to find out.

Arthur N. Britten was born in 1924 in Mountain Ash, Glamorganshire and was the son
of Henry and Miriam Britten.

I don't know what Arthur's middle name is but his mothers maiden name was Nicholas so could potentially be that.

Every time I try looking for a marriage it keeps saying here are the deaths for that period.

Can anyone find Arthur?

AGE AT DEATH: 71

Can't see a marriage which has a middle initial, but there are a couple of marriages for Arthur brittens in the 40s, the death cert may help if the informant is a relative.

How about this one....

First name(s) ARTHUR N
Last name BRITTEN
Marriage quarter 4
Marriage year 1944
ARTHUR N BRITTEN married
MENNA DAVIES
District SWANSEA
District number -
County Glamorganshire
Country Wales
Volume 11A
Page 1883

Cannot pin point a birth for Menna, there are a number that would fit...

Marriage cert should give you details of fathers for both Arthur and Menna...

Misty x

Edit.....two possible children, details sent to Tawny by pm....there are three other Britten/Davis births in different areas...

Cannot see a death for Menna, have sent Tawny a possible electoral register entry for her...

Thank you for the info you sent. I will order the cert as that marriage looks very possible for Arthur.

The death cert would be a better bet
