Marriage 1917-03-06 Monk Street, Aberdare   1
Event Note

Witnesses at the wedding were Bronwen Davies and David Lewis Lloyd. Both Ceinwen and James signed their names. They were married in the Baptist tradition, by certificate. The original certificate gave James's name as William James Arscott, aged 21. A note by the registrar made on 11 June 1918 changes his name to James aged 20 at marriage. James and Ceinwen were present then, so canot have been in Canada then!

Narrative

James Arscott of 23 John Street Merthyr Tydfil provided surety for the probate of Thomass Thomas Williams, but it's not clear whether this was James husband-of-Ceinwen, or his father.

William Delahay of Canal Square, Merthyr Tydfil, an underground driver, provided the other surety. A William Delahay married a Sarah M Baker in Merhtyr in 1920, but the only Sarah I can find was too young. Related to Thomas Thomas Williams's wife's family? Anyway, that doesn't help with a Delahay that married a Margaret Williams, as required by the inheritance letter. There were lots of Delahays around, all apparently related, including two William Delahays of about the right age.
