Mary VALENTINE Rees JONES Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn/Ysbyty Ystwyth
« on: Sunday 18 June 17 09:53 BST (UK) »
If there is anyone who has access to Cardiganshire parish records for Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn/Ysbyty Ystwyth I would be really grateful for a lookup for info on my 2x great grandparents Mary Valentine (b abt 1811, probably in Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn) and Rees Jones b abt 1806 (probably in Ysbyty Ystwyth). According to FreeReg Mary and Rees married on 15 Jul 1831 in St John the Baptist in Ysbyty Ystwyth, but I cannot find the record on FindMyPast or Ancestry.

I was delighted to find Mary Valentine as I thought her surname would make her easy to trace after all the Edwards, Jones and  Evans names I have in my tree. It also helped to explain my great uncle being named Thomas Valentine Edwards (Rees and Mary's daughter Jane married Ebenezer Edwards). However, Mary is proving hard to find. I cannot find a baptism at all. I think she might have had a brother Richard b abt 1801 and a sister Jane b abt 1798, but I cannot find baptisms for them either! There is a tree on Ancestry that gives Mary's parents as being Richard Valentine and Nancy Ann, but there is no evidence attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance :)
