There seem to be a number of David Prices born in Glasbury - funny they do not show up in the church records for baptism

Yes, that is them too. It really has been a problem as you can see. I too have found quite a few David Prices from Glasbury but no idea which 2 are the ones I need.
Many thanks for all your help and perseverence with this search.
Best wishes
Jenny

I think trying to get David number 2's birh certificate from Hay Register Office is the best idea at present.

Were both his wives called Margaret ?

He seems to have married young looking at the ages of the children on the 1881 census.

I only know about his second wife who was Margaret Wanklin. He was a widower when he married her. 10/3/1875 date of marriage. Believe that a half brother was named Walter. Oldest child from second marriage was Albert - only able to trace him on 1891 census - believed to have gone to S Africa with half brother Walter.
Other children from 2nd marriage-
Matilda
Edith
Gertrude
Margaret Alice (Known as Alice)
Frederick David
Lily (my grandmother)
Reginald Spencer (often called Spencer)
Thanks again
Jenny

Have you found him on the 1871 census ?

Thanks for contacting me again. I have found info on the 1841 census and 1871 census but am not sure if they are the correct Davids as I do not know the area that well to recognise small villages/hamlets that may be close to Glasbury. Could you email me direct at Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses. Please use the secure personal message system to share email addresses and other personal material. Thank You and I will paste all the records I have found to you.
In fact looking at the details I think the only real possibility is on the 1871 census which lists a David Price resident in Radnor Hereford lodging with a widow, Gwenny Davies a farmer of 30 acres - however he is listed as unmarried aged 43 and a Farm servant born Cwmdidur Radnorshire.
I know that from later censuses and the little family knowledge that by 1901 he was a farmer employing men so I do wonder if this is the same David. It is very strange that I can only find details of the family on later censuses ie 1891 and 1901.
The mystery continues.
Thanks again
Jenny

Hi,
Cwmdidur is Cwmdauddwr, which is the opposite side of  Radnorshire to Glasbury
