Hi Judy,
Actually I have just received the death certificate of Isaac Davies, he died in 1867, just the year after the birth of his son Thomas Davies ( 1866). I discovered on the birth certificates of their children that her full name was Mary "Anne" Lloyd.
On the census they only write Mary, except on the 1881 Census of Llanfihangel where you can see her as wife of John Thomas. John Thomas has 3 children from a previous marriage:Sarah A. Thomas, Age 8; Margaret J. Thomas, Age 4; Elizabeth J. Thomas, Age 3.
Thomas Davies, 15, is also living with them. He is Mary "Anne" Davies/Lloyd younger son.
On the 1891 Census in Merthyr T, we can see Mary Thomas, her 3 sons, and Elizabeth Thomas ( the age is correct).There is also a John Davies, stated as her step son... not quite sure who he is. I can't see him on any other census. I followed them since 1841.
I think I did find a marriage for a Mary Ann and John Thomas in 1880.
I don't know when Mary Thomas died yet but I believe it could be around the time you mentioned 1898, or maybe she simply moved.
I will check again and come back to you,
Isabelle
