Thank you very much for all this brilliant information. Lots for me to follow up and check with the GRO/Carmarthenshire Registrars. I will let you know in due course how I get on.

Hello Osprey

Thought you might like to know that your thoughts on Elizabeth's death and her and Benjamin's daughter Margaret were correct. Their daughter Margaret was born 09 Jan 1876 at 21 Prospect place, Llanelly, Benjamin was listed as a Haulier at the time. Sadly Elizabeth died 10 days later on the 19th from Typhoid (1 month), her father Richard Edmund of Caerbiggin being the informant

oh how sad! Margaret was lucky to survive.

thanks for letting me know!
