So was Amy's marriage the same year?

To answer your pm query, and to try & work out the Smith/Lowe family

1861 Market St, Knighton RG9/4233 folio 17 pg 28 (next to the Seven Stars)
Charles Smith head mar 20 glas & earthenware dealer
Hannah wife 32 b. Shrewsbury
William Lowe son 14 ag lab
Thomas Lowe son 10
John Lowe son 8
George Lowe son 5
Charles Lowe son 3
Albert Smith son 9 months
all born Knighton except where stated

marriage registration
Charles Smith dec qtr 1859 Shrewsbury vol 6a pg 1273 with Hannah Lowe on the same page

1851 Lodging House, Heolydwr, Hay, Breconshire HO107/2491 folio 299 pg 10
Richard Lowe lodger mar 26 hawker b. Shropshire, Bridgnorth
Hannah Lowe lodger mar 26 hawker b. Shopshire, Berston Hill
William Lowe lodger 4 b. Radnorshire, Knighton
Richard Lowe lodger 2 b. Radnorshire, Knighton
Thomas Lowe lodger 9 months b. Radnorshire, Knighton

death registration
Richard Lowe dec qtr 1858 Knighton vol 11b pg 123

Think the places given for Hannah's place of birth may be Pulley & Bayston Hill. They are in the Shrewsbury area. You can see that women quite often lose a few years when marrying a younger man.   ::)

I had a look at the Lowe bmd registrations in Neath on FreeBmd after the 1883 marriage, and most seem to be your family, but they seem to register the child in one name and use a different one on the census. Emily on the 1891 census is Beatrice on the 1901 census and looks to have been registered as Beatrice Hannah. No Ruben/Reuben registered, but there is a Henry round about the right time. It looks like there could be a few children that died young as well.

Best of luck with your extending family.
