Hi all

I'm trying to find a marriage between Eliza Few and Isaac Griffin in the early 1840's.

In 1851 they were living in the Trevethin area of Monmouthshire:

Isaac Griifin         29  Iron Acton
Eliza Griffin          28  Iron Acton
George Griffin       8   Iron Acton
Henry Griffin         4   Glamorgan
Sarah Ann Griffin  2   Glamorgan

I've searched the GRO Marriage Indexes but haven't found a record of Eliza and Isaac's marriage.  If the 1851 details are correct it looks likely the marriage would have taken place in the south Gloucestershire area between 1841 and 1843.  No record of such in the indexes though.

If anyone has a copy of the south Gloucestershire marriage index 1837 - 1901 I'd be grateful if they could take a look for the marriage for me.  Thanks in advance.

Hi

I'd be grateful if someone with a copy of the Glamorgan Marriage Index would check for a marriage between WILLIAM JONES and ANNE EVANS in Merthyr Tydfil around the years 1827 - 1830.   

They're both common names I know, there may well be a few (more than a few probably) marriages but I really would appreciate any possibles between the years stated above.  Thanks in advance.

Hi

Could some one kindly check the following reference for Littleworth:

HO107 - 0355  Littleworth Parish
Enum. Dist. 3
Fol 3  Page 1

I am interested in the details of Isaac Griffin, age 25, born in county.  What is his occupation and is he living with any other Griffins'?  Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I am trying to trace the family of SARAH HARRIS born St Issells, Pembrokeshire possibly around 1839.  Her parents were Daniel (details unknown) and Ann Harris born Pembroke possibly about 1810.  Sarah also had a sister Hannah possibly born about 1849.  The only information I have is from her marriage certificate and details of the 1871 and 1881 Monmouthshire census, I believe her father Daniel died before 1871 for I can find no mention of him after 1871.

At the time of her marriage in 1867 in Llanhilleth, Monmouthshire, Sarah had two sons:  Thomas, born 1858/59 and George, born 1865/66 both born in St Issells.

I believe the family moved to Monmouthshire in the mid 1860's.  Sarah's mother Ann is widowed and living with Sarah's family in 1881, so I assuming her parents brought all the family to Monmouthshire.

What's confusing me is that she had two sons at the time of her marriage in 1867.  Was she married previously?  If she was why was she still using the surname Harris?  Her marriage certificate states Sarah Harris age 28, spinster and her father as Daniel Harris occupation coal miner.  Hannah Harris was a witness at the marriage and is living with Sarah in 1871.  Maybe the family left Pembroke because of the stigma of two illegitimate children.

I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this family through one the earlier census' of Pembroke.

Thanks
