Pembrokeshire / Re: Richards of Sardis and Burton
« on: Wednesday 25 February 15 21:32 GMT (UK) »
Hello Steve, thanks for contacting me. My Great Grand Mother was Ann Maria Richards, (she seems to have dropped the Ann and just used Maria in adult life). I traced her back to living in Stoney Slade as Ann Maria in the 1861 census with her parents Thomas and Elizabeth. Just being known as Maria and not Ann Maria did give me some doubts but her marriage certificate has Thomas Richards as her father and in some Census her birthplace as Sardis. I have checked the birth certificates of the other Maria Richards that were born in Pembrokeshire around the right time and none match. So Ann Maria Richards birth certificate has her born in Southland 26 Feb 1855. So I firmly believe I have the right one.
She married, Benjamin Brown, a private from the 9th Regiment of foot (East Norfolks) in 1874 and later that year he left the army and stayed in PD. They had two children before his early death in 1886. She remarried (However I cannot find a marriage certificate for the claimed event) to William Jones, shoemaker, who later had the shoe shop at the bottom of (7) Meyrick Street and had five more children.
You will know a great deal more about the family than me and yes I am interested.
I'll PM my email
Regards
Mike Silburn
