Carmarthenshire Marriage Lookup c1909 *COMPLETE*
« on: Monday 31 May 10 00:13 BST (UK) »
Hello

Not sure whether this marriage may have taken place at Llanarthney (as that is where the Bride lived and was christened), or perhaps Llanon, but definitely East Carmarthenshire (so Carmarthen or Llanelly district)

John Williams born about 1884
Margaretta Davies born about 1883 Cefn Abbey Llanarthney. Her father's name was Herbert but he died before she was born. I know she worked in Post Office in 1901, probably Llanarthney.

I know a lot about Margaretta's family but very little about John except that I think he died about 1921. They lived in Upper Tumble after their marriage.


Thanks very much for any information
Morgan

No worries. :) I'm not well up on places in Wales but google did show Llandovery as being close to Llanarthney. But being too late as well I'll have another search.

Hi
sorry can't help with those. What I have learned is that Margaretta was a very popular name in Wales, and rightly so, it is pretty.
