annie maria coffoa-help please!!?

[rachelralph]

i am looking for a annie maria coffoa born abt 1869 in pembroke.

at first i thought her name was just difficult to read on her husbands military records, and i just couldnt see it right. but i have now found the marriage and her name really was coffoa. i dont know if this is a welsh name, but i cannot find her birth, or any census with coffoa as a name.

many thanks

Take a look at RG 10 / 5516 / 29 / 21

The household includes 2 year-old Ann Coffa, born Pembroke Dock.

thats so strange i was about to come back on and update that i may have found her as ann coffa, and there was your reply

thank you, i'm still having trouble pinning this down but i will xxxx

Ann's mother in 1871 is Mary (formerly James)

This looks like marriage:

James Coffoa married Mary Ann James Mar.qtr.1869 Pembroke.

i did ee that ellen but i just thought she may have been another grandaughter of the james' orn to a differnt daughter in the same year, i will have another look. thanks all

ive just relised how dumb that last comment of mine was lol, i do apologise for my drunken sate (if only i was drinking) of course it cant be another grandaughter to another daughter unless anothe daughter married another coffoa!

Can you please supply aged and place of birth from a census for Mary Ann Coffoa nee' James, as I think I have her full baptism entry.
As I am unable to find any Coffoa(various spelling) baptism at Pembroke Dock St John, I must presume the family is either non-conformist or R.C., which might not be the same for the James side.
