Thanks, this confirms that the man on the 1891 and 1911 census records is almost certainly my Edmund, but I can find no trace of their marriage in the area. My mother's birth was registered by my grandmother Emma Jones - was it customary for the mother to enter her maiden name when registering, or could it be they were not married at that point. That would have been surprising in their case.

As I am so new to this, I am not sure where to look next for the marriage or establish whether the family in Avening is my grandparents and my aunt (mum's older sister. I am trying to find out more about my grandfather who died relatively young and also to trace the Welsh side of the family (Emma Jones was Welsh and my mother spent her youth in the Newport area. I will probably try and find the death record for Edmund which would have been about 1945 in the Newport area.

Any tips? I am determined not to give up!
