« on: Saturday 19 August 17 22:09 BST (UK) »
Hello

My membership to family history sites has expired therefore can anyone please help. Looking for Elizabeth Edmunds her husband and any children in 1881and later censuses. Just found out that she married a Benjamin Thomas in 1873. Elizabeth was born 1852/3 at Caerbigin Farm, five roads, Llanelly.

Thank you

But a possible:-

Elizabeth 28
John 10
Margaret 7
Mary Ann 4
William 1
All other than shown as born Pembrey
Margaret Thomas b 1873 Llanelly has mmn Edmunds
Census ref RG11/5376/10/11
By which means did you find out Elizabeth Edmunds married Benjamin Thomas?

Thanks for the reminder. Found marriage via a search carmarthen RO did for me. Need to order certificate.

Not convinced it's her as not born Llanelly. Possible children from GRO search are William 1874 and 1880, Margaret or Elizabeth 1876, Jane 1878.

Got very limited Internet access at the moment so any further help finding get them in 1881 and later would be greatly  appreciated

Thank you

Hi again, so what does the marriage give as the father of Elizabeth, as I can see in 1861/71 an Elizabeth b c 1853 Llanelly with parents Richard and Margaret
1861 RG09/4117/19/10 and as EDMUND 1871 RG10/5471/24/10

You could well be correct that the 1881 is the incorrect Elizabeth as 1871 shows as lodgers with an Emanuel family:-

Benjamin Thomas 26 occ Copper Man b Tenby
Elizabeth 21 b Pembrey
John 1 b Pembrey
Census ref RG10/5469/10/14
