For the last 3 months i have been trying to track down some relations that came to Wales from Ireland in the 1800s. I have had no luck and when i posted a request a few weeks ago i had very little information to go on. I now have more information but i am still unable to find anything and i could do with some help.
I am trying to trace a Bryant family that consisted of an eldest daughter Catherine and then other siblings called Mary born c.1876(possibly Cefn Cribwr), Tom, Elizabeth and Margaret. In 1901 i have Mary married to Llewellyn Thomas with a daughter Ethel living at Llangynwyd. Mary and Llewellyn were married at Bridgend in the June quarter of 1899.
I am unable to locate them before this but it is possible that the parents (the father possibly called Tom from Ireland) are buried at Cefn Cribwr which apparently is where they lived.
Any help offered would be of great assistance as prior to 1901 i am really stuck.

Is there any possibility that the father may be Frederick?
Maybe best to get the marriage cert first, you cannot be sure otherwise this family go from 1871 to 1901
