Llangadock

Hi All, I am having much difficulty in finding a marriage for a William Davies to a Margaret ? both from Llangadock. Married about 1878-1880? Can any kind soul lead me in the right direction?

If they were married in Llangadock, the marriage would be in the Carmarthen registration district. There are 2 showing up on FreeBmd in the period you're hoping for
june qtr 1878 vol 11a pg 899 with Margaret Harris on the same page
june qtr 1879 vol 11a pg 900 with Margaret Hughes on the same page

With common surnames, the only way of being sure is to go one step at a time and get the birth certificate for one of the children first, so that you know you're looking at the right marriage.

Osprey, Many thanks for that and will now check up as to how many William Davies's were living in Llangadock at the same time. Cheers

If two people were both born in and married in Llangadock, then would'nt Llangadock fall under the district of Llandovery. Any help out there ?

Hi

Langadock does come under Llandovery district.

There are three entries for William Davies for the period 1878 - 1880 with margaret on the same page:

Sep Q 1880 11a 944 Margaret Pergyne Davies

Dec Q 1880 11a 1107 Margaret Thomas

Apologies for the duff information!     

I didn't see the 'transferred from Llandovery 1935' .

Fisherman, My grateful thanks for the kind information that has I think led me in the right direction with my William Davies, who was the illegitimate son of Thomas Davies, Vicar of Llangadock. Cheers

No problem Osprey, my thanks anyway
