Hi Ricky,

I've been looking for deaths as well - can't find a thing.

They must have gone abroad.

   HI! it`s me again I`m still looking for my 3x G/Grandmother, I have been searching for her death for about 15yrs, she married at LLantwit church Neath Glam to SAMUEL MELLIN May 1805,her name being, SARAH MELLIN, NEE EDWARDS, I last have her as WID living at the Latt area of Neath with her S/I/LawDAVID JONES and family as their housekeeper that is on the 1861 census, she is then 82yrs old, after that I can`t find her on the 1871 census, her death is not in any of the church records that i have searched through many times, and she is not on the bmd or LDS, any help would be wonderful,  MARG,,,

   HI! Ricky, how you doing?  thanks for looking,this has been a mystery to me for years, her husband is buried in the churchyard in Neath and I pass it everytime I go to the access point , only his name is on the stone along with details of his age,everytime time I pass I say under my breath",WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER", I think that she is still having a sly GIN in the pub that her Daughter and S/I/LAW had called the GEORGE AND DRAGON, I wonder if she has been mistranscribed, she lived with her S/I/LAW David Jones,  thanks again  Margx,,,,

Hi Margaret
Giving her age in 1861, would have thought there was a good chance she would have died by 1871, but I couldnt see a death for her after 1861 . If she was alive by the 1871 she has hidden her self well.

  HI! Ricky,No, I know she`s not on the 1871 census which I have here from my searches at Neath but, on the 1871 census are all her Daugh and S/I/Laws,JOHN WILLIAMS is married to her daughter also SARAH Elizabeth Cole is another daugh, she is 29yrs and widow, also the PUGHs are  Grand/Daugh and family,  but by 1881 John williams has died and they all left the pub and are scattered around the town of Neath, so I think I will try some of these names and see if they tie in with her name and age, couldn`t get on bmd yesterday, something wrong with the site,  Margx

   Hi! Ricky,  still can`t get on the freemd,,,but I have found on the 1881census 2 sons of John Williams now married one is JOHN WILLIAMS B1833 m to MARY ?? living at 23, bush row LLantwit Neath,I think they had more children than I have here on the 1881,he must have married between 1851 and 1861 he is not with his parents on the 1861 census, so do you think you could find them on the 1861,1891   and 1901 many thanks, Margx

P.S

Nice of the mother in law to hang around, makes looking for the marriage a bit easier
