Hi

It's not clear exactly what type of info you are looking for and with a name like Mary Jones we need all the help you can give

Have you found her on the 1861/1871 censuses?

Who did she marry and when/where?

What info do you already have about her to save duplication - census etc after marriage?

[biddles]

hi carole  the only info. i have on mary is on the 1861 census where she is 6yrs with her mother and father and my grt grnd mther ellen biddle who is there as a visitor.

Hi

Re: mary jones--b-1855 glamorgan--daughter of william and maryann llanfabon.

Good job I looked at the 1861 image - she is Margaret - not Mary

Have you looked for her on the 1871 & possibly 1881 census?

If she is not found in 1881 - she may have married between 1871 and 1881 in which case you will need to use freebmd to look for a marriage for her   www.freebmd.org.uk

The family were living in the Merthyr Tydfil registration district in 1861 but that is only a guideline to a possible search on freebmd - she may have married elsewhere

Between 1871 and 1881 there were over 100 marriages for her name in the Merthyr RD so quite a task to determine the right one
