[gemma6677]

Thankyou all for your kind efforts in helping me.  I have one other mystery i'm afraid.  Margaret Helena George (listed above as mary elizabeths mother) and on birth certificate lived in walton west, pembrokeshire.  On all the census' i find, it lists her mother as Margaret Griffiths and her father John George.  I have her mothers name listed on her birth certificate as Mary Morgan and correct father, John George!  I'm stumped.  Nowhere can i find John George living with Mary Morgan in Walton West with Margaret Helena as their child.

I can't either 


according to latest census they have been married 41 years

This appears to be the marriage entry for

John George to Margaret Griffiths Dec 1869 Haverfordwest 11a 1259

1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5BD-S2V
Margaret H age 2 with John & Margaret

1881c https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKXK-DSFD
Margaret Helene age 13 with John & Margaret

and there’s a

Margaret Griffiths single born Hasguard on 1861 census

I know Ladyhawk!  After many months of being contented i have found most of my family history, today i look at Margaret Helenas birth certificate and lo behold, her mother is listed as Mary George (Morgan)!

I have her mothers name listed on her birth certificate as Mary Morgan and correct father, John George!  I'm stumped.  Nowhere can i find John George living with Mary Morgan in Walton West with Margaret Helena as their child.

Purely speculation as I have no proof to confirm

perhaps Margaret Helena's mother died during/after child birth

Margaret Helena George birth Sep 1868 Haverfordwest

John George married Margaret Griffiths Dec 1869 Haverfordwest

Edited removed death entries for Mary Morgan[/b] as John did marry a Mary Morgan
so she would have died as a Mary George

Definitely possible.  On the birth certificate for Margaret Helena, it does state Mary George formerly Morgan.  I'm thankful for all your help

I have amended my post above and removed the death entries of Mary Morgan
as you have now found a possible marriage for John George  to Mary Morgan

[gemma6677]

I have found a marriage between John George & a Mary Morgans in 1868 (the same year as the birth of Margaret Helena) so have ordered an marriage certificate as a long shot.

That looks promising fingers crossed

There's this death entry

Sep 1869 Narberth   11a   387
GEORGE   Mary    age 29 (1840)

the marriage of John George & Margaret Griffiths 21 Oct 1869 in Hasguard shows John to be a widower. His father was James George, also a farmer.

By the way, you need to remove that screen shot, it is copyright. You have to transcribe the records yourself from sites where you pay for info.
