Owens family

[astley7]

Hi all
Looking for information on Margaret Owens and family born Sguborycoed/Eglwys Fach, Cardiganshire
abt 1848. I have found a marriage record for her marrying Thomas Andrew in 1870 in Cardiganshire.
and on census in Aberdare in later years. Unable to locate her poir to 1870. I must confess the area and district is really hard to understand and fiding it hard to locate family.

Best wishes

Hello Lisa,

you would really need to get the marriage certificate to check for Margaret's father's name.

There is this:

1851 HO107; Piece: 2495; Folio: 15; Page: 3

Eglwysfach Scyborycoed

John Owens 34yrs Farm labourer b Montgomeryshire Machynlleth
Mary Owens 34 yrs  -do-s wife b
Mary Owens 9 yrs scholar
Owen Owens 7 yrs  -do-
Margaret Owens 4 yrs -do-
Hugh Owens 1yr

wife and children all born Llanfihangel D C Cardiganshire

I'll see if I can see them in 1861

Thank you so very much for your assistance.
I am find this area of the country very hard to comprehened I have a number of family there being the Andrews and Owens, Knowingly I know its the area but they seem to have different names for the same place. Its so confusing
thank you for your time and help

Hi Lisa,

I helped with your Andrew family earlier - as you say it's a bit of a nightmare when you don't know the area/spellings etc.
I couldn't find Margaret in 1861 -there was a possibility - birth Llanfihangel but there was another older woman, Elizabeth and I couldn't make out who was the mother 
However, I do think that the 1851 looks pretty good and the marriage certificate would help.

good luck

Thanks so much for the information, I have been totally confused on this area to say the least. On some of the census's it Llanfihangel D C, then Eglwys Fach then Scybor Y Coed , MacHynlleth, and furnace. so I think I am totally confused. Is there any way of checking records for those area before 1840s ?

Thanks once again
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I'm as confused as you! Sometimes it's also Cardiganshire and sometimes it's Monmouthshire.
It may be worth making a fresh post for some clarification with the places and also perhaps re earlier records.

good luck

Thanks for the idea, its the only place I have been totally confused on tho. For such a small area of the country it has so many names.
I let you know what responce or information I get it may clear a few things up.
Best wishes
