Looking for please a Pheobe Williams who was born Solva about 1870 father Griffith Williams . Where was Pheobe in 1881/1891 1901 census . Trying to find when Pheobe might have married and to who. If I can obtain which was the last census she was single in, then I might have some idea when she married. Thank you Eirwen

Am struggling to find a father named Griffith. Where did you get his name from ?

This could be her in 1881,with mother Sarah,but father Griffith not present
1881 5422 105 8 (4 Spring Gardens,Whitchurch)
This could be the parents together in 1891
1891 4539 90 3 (Solva Whitchurch)
(There is a sister in law Mary Evans,suggesting a possible marriage of Griffith Williams to Sarah Evan(s?) as early as 1857.Sarah is given as born earlier in previous census?They are possibly at Llaingawa(?) Whitchurch in 1861 ref 4169 62 8. Not found so far in 1871.
Regards

My grandmother was Margaret Williams and her parents were Griffith Williams and Sarah Evans both s missing from my grandmother's birth certificate. Pheobe was her sister and I know there was at least more siblings Gwynne born 1881 But believed to be more So the information where a Mary Evan is down as a sister-in-law appears to confirm that the information found is correct. Also Pheobe is found in Barry with her mother Sarah [widow] also her husband William Lee. So the marriage between Pheobe and William Lee found in 1897 appears to be mine. Like to thank everyone who has assisted my research.

For completeness the 1871 ref.(Solva,Upper,Whitchurch) is 5534 43 8.
