Looking for John Austin

['Trish']

Hi the only census I can find John Austin on are the 1891 Census - 31 St Cuthbert Street, and 1901 Census for 21 Alma St, Abertillery.  Couldnt find the marriage either.  I have John Austin born Sept q 1860 Blaina died June q 1920 Blaina.  My mother told me he married firstly Annie P Carter and then Elizabeth Gould nee Austin Regards Trish

The only 'Annie P' linked with Salisbury and born c1863 is an Annie Patience Grant ..... and no sign of her after 1881 - no death, nor a marriage to even a Carter

...and Annie Patience Grant had a brother whose forename was  Austin !! That's the only connection with the name Austin I can find!!!!!

In the 1881 census I found John Austin aged 20yrs born Blaina living at 19 Henwain Row Aberystruth, Bedwellty (RG11/5240//138/33) occ. collier, stepson to George Brown (Head), John's mother Clara Brown (48yrs) bVarteg, Monmouthshire, also James, William, Catherine and Thomas Austin aged 17,15,12,10yrs respectively, all stepchildren of George Brown (collier).

Strangely enough, Mort29 and Suzard, there is a marriage in Aberystwith (not Aberystruth) in 1885 Mar (11b 63) between John Austin and Annie Grant

Good find (I musta missed that looking for Austins marrying Grants) - but it doesnt explain this Carter surname

Most strange, cant tell you where the name Carter came from, but there seems to be a common link with Salisbury/Wilts, as brother to John Austin, Thomas married Rose Warren and firstly my mother said her link was Salisbury too.  Just shows you cant listen to family legends!  Thanks for all your help.  regards Trish
