Hello,

Did Catherine have a middle name? Is it possible Catherine was in fact a middle name and her first name was Jane? I can see at least 7x Catherine in 1911 index and this won't be easy to solve even if we assume she was born in Pontypridd. There are about 4 times as many Elizabeths. If by chance Lizzie had her birth registered as such, then did Lizzie have a middle name? Did Lizzie die after 1911? Was Lizzie unmarried in 1911?

There are 124 marriages in Pontypridd 1890 - 1895 for a John Jones. His occupation would be a great help.
