Marriage record 1829 - St Brides Major - David James & Mary William
« on: Saturday 10 September 16 19:40 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am looking for further information regarding the marriage record of David James b1800 (Llysworney) to Mary William b1803 (St Brides Major).  I believe that they married in St Brides Major, although there's a possibility that it may have been in Llysworney. The date of the marriage was 6 June 1829. I am hoping to find futher information on both of their fathers.

Thank you
Paula

the record on Familysearch in Llysworney is of Banns, marriage was in 8 Jun 1829 St Brides Major as transcribed on FreeReg.  It's from before civil registration, so a parish entry & is very unlikely to give names of their fathers.

Llysworney baptisms are on FreeReg, but can't see one for David, although there is a possible James family baptising children in the parish
Mary James bp 21 Mar 1802 dau of Richard & Mary
John James bp 14 Aug 1803 son of Richard & Mary
and likely marriage - Richard James & Mary David 23 May 1795 so space for more children earlier. There's a possible daughter Ann James bp 11 Oct 1795 dau of Richard & Mary in Penllyn.
It could be that Llysworney is the first place that David could remember living & didn't know he had been born/baptised in a different parish.

Possible burial in Llysworney of Richard James aged 55 on 26 Aug 1824.

Thank you very much for your time and the information.  There are a few other possibilities as well. I will add this family to my list.
