I cant find the marriage between 1851 and 1861 of David Barclay and Mary ? (don't know maiden name). He was of C-J-N parish and Mary Llangyfelach Parish .
Tried most if not all spellings and databases  and I can't find it...............

I stand to be corrected................ anyone help ???

Did they have any children shown on census records? If so look for those births on the actual General Register Office birth index. The maiden names of mother's are shown on there now.

Check a couple of them at least to ensure they have the same mother's maiden name -- you could possibly then search for the marriage the other way round -- using Mary's name just in case David had a first name which he didn't usually use - or it was a gross mistranscription.

Worth a try.

Looking at census records it would appear that they had no children of their own but had an 'adopted child'.

They may not have married at all, not all alleged couples did, but the suggestion to look for birth registrations is the best one to start with.

No they did not have any children. They "adopted " Sarah Jones.
I was thinking that Sarah might have been a family member of Mary's family.
 To confirm  they had no children of their own at any time.

Any chance of narrowing down a birth for Sarah to see who her mother was - what district covers her birth do you know?

I appreciate Sarah Jones is not the best name to work with  :-\
