Hi

With a common surname like White, we need a lot more info

Birthyears and birthplaces of William White and Mary Gibbs
same for Edward and Mary Williams

What census info do you already have on both of the above couples and what help is it you require?

[suebarrass]

edward williams 1847 mary 1849 penhow on 1871 census william white 1820 mary gibbs 1821 1851 census was hoping to find edwards wife maiden name and any information on any of their parents

Are Edward and Mary married on th 1871 census - do they have any children showing ?
 I can find one wedding before this date that might be them, and Mary's surname would be Arkett then. 
There are 2 Mary Arketts shown one for 1845 one for 1850 both in Herefordshire - any idea if this might be a step on the right path ?

[suebarrass]

yes on the 1871 census they are married with a daughter margaret j williams born 1870 so it could well be the right one thanks for your help i would like to go further back but census' dont seem to be available before 1851

This seems to be her birth
Margaret Jane Williams born 2/1/1870 to Edward and Mary Agnes Williams at Penhow Monmouthshire .

Where has Mary got down on the Census as her place of birth ?

[suebarrass]

well there seems to be a problem with this it is down as Biethauir, westernetank but no one has heard of this but on another census she is down as something else

I have just found that on the 1881 census when the family are at Aberystruth in Monmouthshire and indeed Mary is down as born in Westmorland.

I think it is Beetham
