Elizabeth Thomas b.1848 Llangadock, Carmarthenshire
« on: Tuesday 04 July 17 09:44 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information on Elizabeth, who married Aaron Rees in Waunarlwydd, near Swansea on 24 August 1879? I was under the impression that she was born in Llantwit Vardre, Glamorganshire. But I've just seen the 1881 census where she states her birthplace as Llangadock. I realise that the name is fairly common for births in that year, but I'm hoping she may be in someone's tree. She was Aaron's second wife, his first wife, Eliza, died in Pennsylvania, or just after they got back from America. Any information would be appreciated. I've also posted this on the Carmarthenshire site too.

They married in Bethesda Chapel, Swansea on 24 August, 1879. Her father was William Thomas (deceased), a farmer. The witnesses were Moses Rees (his brother) and Mary Richards (signed with her mark but not known). Aaron was 35 years old, and Elizabeth was 32 years old. In a later census she gave her place of birth as Llangattock. Both gave their place of residence as Waunarllwydd, Swansea Higher. That's all the info on the marriage certificate.
