Hi I am really struggling to find a thread and take it forward. I am not sure how honest the information has been given /available. I found an HF Keene on another site living at 47 Newfoundland Road Cardiff. Iam lead to believe that this could well be where my great grandfathers family lived in this area. His name was Albert Edward Keene. I know he was living in Milford St before he got married to my nan Eva May Macrie/McCree in 1922 and apparently he had a son Albert with someone else before he married my nan but I cannot find any other information on him or HIS family, where he was born or other relatives. Can anyone help me? Albert was Born abt 1875??? Not sure where but I know he died early 1950's in Cardiff. Please can anyone help me move on with this thread????
Kind regards
Dee

This could be his birth reg...

Buying this cert will give you his parents names. (never pay more than £7 for a cert)
