Records at Brecon (Aberhonddu) St· Davidīs prior to 1813 are not in good condition, especially around
1768, I have had a quick scan on Ancestry and nothing for Mary.

Mary's birth date looks wrong to me 1768, That means she got married at 40yrs old and still having children in her 60's

I saw that 1853 Burial for May (poss Mary) but would'nt she be too old to have children c 1828/1833!
