Hi Robert

You haven't given any birth dates!

1901 Census

I can find a Tom Hedley Adams bc1880 Berry Hill in the Rhondda with wife Sarah bc1880 Bristol and daughter Miriam Florence b1900 Tonypandy, Glamorganshire, Wales.

1911 Census

Tom, Sarah, Miriam, Grace and William Hedley still in Tonypandy.

Wife Sarah died just after the 1911 Census and Tom married Kate Webb in 1914 Monmouth District. Transcription from FoD site.

Is this the correct family?

If so, is this Herbert's birth?

Births Jun 1915
Adams Herbert G Webb Pontypridd 11a 1406

----------------------------------------------

There is a possible (!) marriage on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Marriages Jun 1936
Adams Herbert G Bullimore Monmouth 11a 83
Bullimore Gladys M Adams Monmouth 11a 83

...and from http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/MarriageSearch.aspx Herbert is Herbert Gwynn (nice Welsh name!) They married in the Register Office in the Forest of Dean District.

A daughter?

Births Jun 1938
Adams Joyce M Bullimore F.of Dean 6a 463

They may have lived in the Swindon area (Wiltshire) after the war. There is a birth for an Elizabeth M using same parents surnames in 1947, but could be a different couple.

You would need to invest in copies of the Marriage and Birth Certificates to confirm it is the right Herbert and correct children.

Certs can be ordered online from: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
They cost £9.25 including postage.

Hope this helps.
