I am trying to find a marriage record of one of my Ancestors called Redwin Louis Vaughan James born Dec 17 1896 in Newport Pembrokeshire, his parents were John Pryse James 1870 and Mary Vaughan 1871, I cant find any marriage record under that name, but the only thing I know from family is that he had a daughter but they didnt know her name.
Any help would be appreciated
