What a small world RuthieB  

I think there is a possibility that Mary may have gone to Wern to give birth, or was staying there away from her family.....illegitimate birth and all that!!!!!!

Do you know if the 1861 census is complete? I have been trying to find another relative Zachariah Williams and he is in every census apart from 1861!

Jackie, as far as I am aware, the 1861 is complete. 

Post the details of Zachariah on a new thread and I'll see if I can find him for you.  Can you please quote all the other census details you've got, as it makes searching much easier

As far as David and Mary are concerned, I'm not sure what else to suggest

Thank you. I've started a new query under Zachariah's name

Hi Jackie,

My Richard Bembow married Adeliza Mantle in Feb 1857 and was buried in Llanbadarn Fynydd on 29 Nov 1862. I think Adeliza maaried again but that's waiting further investigation...

Of course (wrth crwrs) there are a lot of places called Wern!!

Hi there

I have Benbows from Llandinam in my family tree.  I have a Mary Benbow born in 1831 who had two illegitimate sons, born 1866 and 1869, named  Thomas and Charles.  She and her boys ended up in the Union House Weobley. 

Her father was a Thomas Benbow who worked in Whitehall in London as office keeper for the Quartermaster General.
 
Mary Benbow's son, Thomas Benbow, died in the war but Charles went on to marry twice under the name of Charles Williams and had five children.  He was my great grandfather.

I only yesterday discovered that The famous hero Admiral Benbow was from that part of the world and wonder if there's any connection.

It would be nice to have an illustrious ancestor!
