I don't know if it has any relevance, but I'm currently trying to find a marriage between a relative John Evans and a Martha Domhoff, both born in Pennsylvania;  the marriage would have been about 1910-1914

Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Margaretta Jane Morgans born 1828 Mathry, Pembrokeshire

Yes, Malta seems likely.  Margaretta is something of an exotic name too, so I wondered if it was her family which had some Mediterranean connection. 
If you are interested in Laura's American family, I have a family tree on geneanet.org;  search for Laura Williams combined with Place : Briton Ferry and you'll get directly to my tree (username is mrobiette).  In the 1980's I visited one of Laura and Hopkin's grandchildren in Pittsburgh and still have  some notes, extracts from letters and photos from that time.  If you want these, email me from the geneanet link and I'll send them.  I haven't tried to keep this branch up to date but there is probably a lot more available now - just for interest I ran a search on Hopkin Evans on Familysearch and quickly found the marriage of his youngest daughter.
best wishes, Martin

Laura Valletta Williams married Hopkin Evans, a younger brother of my great-grandfather.  They appear in the 1881 census living at 10 Warren, Briton Ferry, but Laura is misspelled as Louisa.  They subsequently emigrated to the Pittsburgh area where they have many descendants, some of whom I have some information on.  I too wondered where she got her name Valletta!
