Title: Marriage between James Scowcroft & Anna unknown bet 1827 - 1841
Post by: Westy11 on Monday 28 July 14 07:11 BST (UK)
Hoping for some assistance please.

I am looking for the 2nd marriage of James Scowcroft - attorney  [1788 - 1865] to Anna unknown.  James' first marriage was to Mary Allen in 1813; Mary died on 2 Sept 1827 in Prendergast.

In the 1841 Wales census date 6 - 7 June - James and Anna are living at Robleston in the Parish of Camrose.  [HO107/1449/3 / 33 Page: 6]

This census indicates Anna was born abt 1796. It is possible Anna died before the 1851 Census 30 Mar 1851.

Have my fingers crossed...

Hello Droysbont

That is superb and thank you so much.  Thank you also for the Welsh online newspapers.  I did not know of this site's existence.  Thanks heaps. :) :) :)

Any chance of finding Anna's birth?  ;D

There is a baptism of an Ann Surman Summers on 2 July 1793 at Haverfordwest, St Mary which ties in with her middle name listed at the time of her death on the FreeBMD Index.   Parents listed as James Summers (Clerk) and wife Elizabeth

Yes, the Welsh newspapers site is wonderful.  There are quite a number of Summers wills available at the NLW too:
