Llanelly/Brynmawr Parish - help please?
« on: Saturday 10 September 11 13:00 BST (UK) »
I have William Leek (1808) & Mary (nee Griffiths, married at Bedwellty in 1833) on the 1841 census in Brynmawr.  Occupation:  Mason

I have found William Leek & Elizabeth, (1786) also in Brynmawr, occupation:  Mason.

I suspect these are Williams Parents (all bit much of a coincidence not to be) William & Elizabeth are with their Son Abraham Leek, and Daughter Rebecah Leek. 
William & Mary also named one of their children Abraham .. and the occupations are the same ....

However, I can't find a marriage for William & Elizabeth.  Could anyone help that has access to the parish records please?

Hi Welsh Girl, could be a coincidence but I've found a marriage for a William Leek to an Elizabeth Williams on the 27th February 1808 in Goytre, Monmouthshire.
