Wiltshire / Sarum Marriage Licence Bonds Transcription/Marriage - nothing before ....
« on: Sunday 15 May 16 09:01 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone ... I wonder if some could assist me with this please?
I have found the Sarum entry on 5 Sept 1831 and the Marriage entry 12 September 1831 for Sarah Wheeler and John Smith (I can hear you groaning) ... but I am unable to trace Sarah's family.
Unfortunately, she died in 1858 so I only have the 1841 and 1851 census to go on for her YOB and POB.
On the 1841 census, she is shown as being born in Corsham circa 1811. On the 1851 she is shown as being born 1803 in Devizes.
On another site, someone suggested she could have been born in Southbroom, and there is an entry there .. there is also an entry in Southbroom for a Cicely Wheeler, and this is the name she also gave to one of her children (not too common so I thought a good indication of carrying names on) ... but this Cicely seems to be living in Somerset in 1841 - but it doesn't rule out not being Sarah's Sister).
i wonder if anyone has access to the Marriage entries that may show her Fathers name please ? It would be a start to help me narrow down the possibilities for her ....
Many Thanks for any help, or suggestions.

Glamorganshire / Re: John Smith & Eliza (Preece)
« on: Sunday 24 April 16 09:48 BST (UK) »
Hi .. Yes, sorry - Kington Hereford.
John was born 1857 in Kington. he married Eliza Preece 1886, registered in Knighton.
I have been able to follow them through the census years, until the 1911 census where they are living in Hirwaun.
My GGF is living in Byron Street, Aberdare on the 1901 census, and John is living at 48, Incline Row, Aberdare. My GGF moved down to Tirphil, but it looks like John and family stayed put ....
I know one of his Daughters married a William Tobin and had a Son called James. She died in 1912.
Katie Married Arthur Nash and died in 1970.
hard going this line ....

Glamorganshire / John Smith & Eliza (Preece)
« on: Sunday 24 April 16 08:58 BST (UK) »
I'm not sure if this is the right board to post this on .... but due to the common Surname (and Christian names) ... I wonder if anyone on this brilliant board is linked to this line please?
John is the Brother of my GGF (James Smith) who, like John, moved from Kington to South Wales for the mining work.
Please delete if not appropriate,but here's hoping ....

I wonder if there is anyone that visits the RO regularly that would be willing to do a quick look up for a newspaper entry for me please? I know the date of the accident and death, so there wouldn't be much hunting ....
