1861/71 census details JOHN MELLIN and MARGARET DAVIES

[wozzle]

there are 2 possible deaths for catherine whom i cannot find in 1881
1/1873 4th qtr neath vol.11a page 377. age at death. 59. est birth year 1814.
2/ 1875 3rd qtr neath vol. 11a. page. 281. age at death 59. est.birth year 1816.
think the first one is the more likely.

or maybe she is still alive in 1881 but i cannot find her.
again this is only a theory with regard to the non appearance of her in 1881

Good luck Marg, know how difficult it is with these common Welsh names  

Hope you get lucky, it is not impossible, just very difficult.

Until next time...

   Thanks Wozzle for the information on THOMAS and ANN the age of both seem to be spot on,would you mind looking on the 1891/1901 to see if they are still there,if so sometimes the childrens names may give us a clue if it is that family, the names sometimes follow Grandparents etc, I`ve also made a note of the dates of CATHERINES death that you passed on, if I get chance to pop in the access point on Wed next I will check the church records for that,  Many thanks for your help Margaret,,

  Hi! Wozzle, thanks for taking the time to look,  I`m sure this is the right family, all the names seem to tie in with the parents and G/parents, too much of a coincidence for it not to be don`t you think?,, just wondered what ANNs` children would be named, she started off with a CATHERINE which would be her mothers name so we`ll see,, thanks again, Marg,,

   Hello! Wozzle, thanks again for the info,never did get to the access point to check all these out,my washing machine packed in,loaded, called the chap who repairs it for us,"CALL WEDNESDAY" what time?  "CANŽT GIVE YOU A TIME" so had to stay in all day waiting , but I will get there sometime soon I hope, I`m still puzzled by the 2 DAVIDs,it wasn`t unusual to name a child the same if one had died , roll on 1911 hope that will tell us if its correct   Many thanks again  Margaret,,
