Benjamin Griffiths married Anna Morgans 14-9-1839 Parish Church Llanhilleth, Benjamins father on marriage cert was John Griffiths occ Miner Address Finery. Anna 's father was John Morgans occ Collier address Aberbig. Cant find any of the above names on the 1841 Census . 1851 Census Benjamin & Anna were living at 5, Lower Edge Hill Trevethin,Benjamin was a Puddler Where and who would he  have worked for ?

hi
does it give Benjamins age on marriage certificate? also does that age on certificate match with age on 1851 census, to give  a year of birth on the 1851 census where does he say he was born?

Thanks Cardiff,
                       5, Lower Edge Hill, seems to be the British Iron Works houses for employees ,at Trevethin.

Age on Marriage cert for both Bride & Groom  Minor.
Age on 1851 census 32  years
Age on Death cert 26-9-1889  70 years 

Birth place on all census says Benjamin born Abergavenny.

No luck in finding his birth place or finding him in 1841 ?

Kind Regards  Mrs Griff  Thanks for any help.

Did they have any children by 1840 -1841 that may help lots of Griffiths in that area and a few Benjamin's ,Have only found two poss both iron workers living in Merthyr tydfil aged 20yrs , often husbands went where the work was and left wife with her family.
Have you checked Penderyn 1841 I don't have that census comes under Brecknock.. the Iron workers in Penderyn did go to work in Pontypool, so no reason why Benjamin was not working in Penderyn iron works, I have family that left Penderyn and went to Pontypool and Pontypridd.
Put a request out see what happens.

Hi Cardiff.
               Yes they had a daughter  Mary Ann Griffiths born 13-7 1840 it says she was born at Pontnewynidd Trevethin , & Benjamin as the informant of the birth gave the same place,  So she should be on the 1841 census have trawled Trevethin no luck, & Penderyn . So the search goes on
           
          Many Thanks , any more suggestions welcome
