Owen brothers in Pontypridd/Newtown
« on: Wednesday 29 December 10 20:14 GMT (UK) »
Two brothers ....Edward Owen born about 1858 .....and Thomas Owen born about 1858...came to Dudley Worcestershire to work. They were somewhat carefree/careless about their birth dates,ages and birthplaces when asked by the census takers.
It does appear however that they were born in either Newton or Pontypridd.
From family anecdotes their father was an Edward Owen
They married in Dudley to 2 Jackson sisters  Mary anne (Feb 1876)and Ellen (Dec Q 1879)respectively
Because they were less than accurate with info I cannot trust what any marriage cert info might say.
 Can anyone advise as to what sources to seek in Newton/Pontypridd?
