Hello my 5 times Great Grandfather was Abraham Waite he was born about 1707 Chapel Hill Monmouthshire married Elizabeth born 1708 Chapel Hill Monmouthshire. I would like to find her last name if possible. They had 5 children John , Jane , Abigail , Josiah and Philip born 1745 - 1753 Chapel Hill Monmouthshire. Thanks Lynette

Elizabeth may have been a second Wife as it Children were born c 1845-1753 she would have been aged 38-46 if she was born c 1707!
Either that or he Married late in life to a younger Woman.

Family Trees have 8 Children for Abraham;
Abagail 1745
Jane 1746
Abraham 1748
John 1749
Josiah 1750
Philip 1753
Mary 1757
Samuel (no date)

I can find these Baptisms;
SAMUEL Wait, 31 July 1745 to ABRAHAM/MARY
ABAGAIL Wait, 21 Feb 1745/46, Father ABERHAM
JANE Wait, 14 Dec 1746, Father ABRAHAM

So ABAGAIL who has a Mother as ELIZABETH may be a Child of his new Marriage
SAMUEL 05 July 1743 has Parents as ABRAHAM/MARY

Thanks so much Trish for all your help I didnt even think that Elizabeth maybe too old I will go back to my tree. My GGGG Grandfather was John 1749 he married Damaris Pritchard in 1769 June. So I may have the wrong Mother for him. I have them as having 2 children Thomas 1775 and my GGG Grandmother Damaris 1771 who married King Bailey 1789 . I do have a giggle when I see my GGG Grandfather's name was King Bailey. Take Care Lynette

Yes, King Bailey is a great name

I just think you should be cautious as it is possible that;
Abraham was Married twice.
Elizabeth was a second Wife and therefore born much later than 1707.

Unfortunately with my resources I cant find any Marriages for Abraham so cant check anything out for possible Wives Mary/Elizabeth.

Hopefully someone with access to better records than me will pick this up for you.
