Hi
I'm trying to track down the parents of Edward Davies born in 1820 (He died in Maesteg in 1893 aged 73). On his second marriage certificate dated 16 April 1860 he's described as a widower and his father is named as William Davies (Roller). Edward was living in Llangynwyd at the time and lived in that area untill his death. His second wife was widow Sarah John (maiden name Treharne).
1861 census
R.G. 9/4073 Ancestry have transcribed 'where born' as Venor Vaenos, Breconshire, Wales
In 1871
R.G. 10/5413
He's logged as born in Cefn Coed, Cymmer
1881
R.G 11/5327
He's logged as born in Merthyr
1891
R.G. 12/4450
He's logged as born in Brecknock (minor) (Vaynor?)
Ive not been able to find him in 1851 or his first wife but then I'm not sure where he may have been living prior to the marriage in 1860.
Any help in trying to track down his birth around the Merthyr area would be much appreciated.
