I am trying to find the family of Mary Anne, born in1870/71 in Trefun, North Pembs, also spelled Trefin, Trevine and Treveyn. Mother was Mary, born 1847, also of Trefun. Maiden name unknown, as details of marriage, which could have been in Pembs, Aberdare or even back in Llanidloes have not been found. She married Richard Price, of Llanidloes b.1849 and was living with her brother-in-law at Forchaman, Aberdare at the time of the 1871 census. A look-up by anyone with Pembs baptism info. Would be gratefully appreciated. Yn gywir, Mike.

If you can find her birth registration on the GRO birth index it should give her mothers maiden name.
Although if parents were unmarried it will likely be just under her mothers name.
Sorry got confused there - it's the birth for Mary Anne Price 1870/71 is that right?
Parents Richard & Mary Price.
Did they have other children or just her?
-
That's the problem! The GRO entries give neither parent's names nor the parish in which the birth took place, which would be useful to confirm identification.

Arthur Llewellyn Price born Mar 1891 has mothers name Tegan
Can I offer Mary Anne Price born Dec 1870 with mothers name Tegan
Dec 1870 registration fits with being 5 months old in 1871

>>>Sorry got confused there - it's the birth for Mary Anne Price 1870/71 is that right?
Parents Richard & Mary Price.
Yes this is correct. Richard subsequently moved to Langyngeirn before moving to Pembrey. Other children were Martha, Sarah, Richard born 1884, Margaret J. and Artur Llew. Only Mary Anne was born in Pembs.
On your subsequent post, yes this all fits exactly, thank you.
May I ask if you were able to look up parish records or somehow used the GRO? If the latter, can you please explain how I can refer to the actual parents using the index references.

if you use the online GRO index
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp
you can check mother's maiden name on birth regs or age at death on death regs before the period where these details are shown on transcriptions like FreeBmd. You need to register but it's free.
Trefin is in the parish of Llanrhian. No obvious baptism for Mary in that parish. But there are some to Henry Tegan & his wife Mary
Thomas bp 27 Oct 1833
Henry bp 28 Feb 1836
William 7 Oct 1838
Martha bp 17 Oct 1841

Many thanks for your help.
Comparing the 1851 with the 1861 census, Henry and his wife appear not to be able to make their minds up about their age!

Indeed! ::)
Burial 29 April 1884 in Llanrhian Henry of Trevine is noted as 72, but the only baptism online at this time is 19 August 1804 son of William & Sarah in St David's. No sign of this Henry later.

There is a Tegan grave at Berea - let me know if you want the photo?
-
I would very much appreciate a photo of the Tegan grave you refer to, thank you.
Strange, isn't it?, that a labouring family should have had the money for a gravestone.
Is there much evidence connecting this grave with the Tegans we have been discussing?

'Ere you go, a nice clear photo.
The Tegans were a St Davids family as well - somewhere in the back of my memory is a Capt Tegan.......

Many thanks for your trouble, Mrs Family.
I wonder what it was that "he could and did"!
I had noticed the St.David's Tegans but have not yet been able to connect them to the Trefun family.
No Tegans left in the BT phone book for the area, and grave not attended: end of the line I wonder?
