Martha Emery (1846-1901)

[teach3r]

Good evening and thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

My wife's gg-grandmother is Martha Margaret Emery and she is being quite elusive! 

• Birth: From census data show below, I have her DoB as about 1846 but in three different towns!
• Marriage: She married Michael Holloway Dean on 13 January 1863 in Cardiff (shows her father as John Emery).
• Death: She died in Cardiff on 15 September 1901 and was buried on 19 September 1901

I have been unable to find her birth cert / parish baptism or her details in the 1861, 91 or 1901 census.

The details below show the birth place on each census that I do have.

• 1851 - Michael Stone, U D (HO107 / 1835 / 262 / Page 30). I do not know what UD means and  I am assuming that this is one of Michaelston-super-Ely (Glamorgan), Michaelston (Glamorgan) or Michaelston-y-Fedw (might have been Monmouthshire). Her family seem to have come from Wiltshire.
• 1871 - Llanfihangel, Glamorgan (RG10 / 5360 / 115 / Page 37)
• 1881 - Newport, Monmouthshire (RG11 / 5313 / 38 / Page 10) Visitor to Boot Inn shown as Mary H (not Martha M) but is with Husband Michael Holloway Dean and daughter Ada.

Martha and Michael had 10 children (9 born in Cardiff).
Minnie Maud, Ann MM, Ada Adelaide, Clara M (b. Pembroke), Martha Elizabeth, Arthur John M, Mary Ann, George Holloway, Charles Adolphus, Michael Sidney.

Any help with filling in my gaps is much appreciated, especially with her birth or baptism.

Thank you.

Just about to post that one  Archibald's age is out but worth considering. Wonder if Martha was in a workhouse after the death of her husband.

The children’s names don’t seem to match those in the original post though 🤔
