Gwynneth Gillard

Gwynneth, known as Gwyn, was born in Cwmbran on December 27, 1910. On her birth certificate, the date is given as January 6, 1911.

This is because, if the parent failed to register the birth in the six weeks that the law state's then a date is given that complies within this six week's and so a false entry is made on the birth certificate.

Gwyn met and married Thomas Patrick McGuire who was living in the Pill area of Newport, Monmouthshire  and they were married at St. Michael's church on November 7, 1931.
