Finding out about my grandfather Edward mountford - radnorshire

[MrsWatkins]

Hello Im interested in tracking down my grandfather Edward mountford born in radnorshire ( he may have been born in herefordshire )around the 1860s. Does anyone have any informations about him. I think he eventually ended up as a farmer. His mothers name was Mary and both parents died in their early 50s. He married Mary anne Powell (from llanvangle ystra llanwern) in I think herefordshire in the 1900s I don't know much about him and really would like to. They were both the childen on farmers. Is it possible that anyone has any information about him or could do a search for him. He really is a bit of a gap in my family tree knowledge so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mrs Watkins

From freebmd   http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

June quarter 1906, district Hereford, vol 6a, page 1161
Edward Mountford  and one of the names is Mary Ann Powell

You can look in the 1911 census to try and find them, 

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

The census is also on ancestry or findmypast - if you have a sub for one of those sites.

There's two likelies in freebmd

1856 Montgomery - Edward Mountford
1867 Montgomery - Edward Mountford

If you could find him in 1911, you would have a better idea which one is yours.  What children did he have?
