Hello Rhys,

You have not named your ancestor but from your brief earlier thread I am presuming he is Thomas Richards.

Free BMD has this possible marriage :
Abergavenny, December 1840
Sarah Williams and Thomas Richards are on the same page.

The marriage certificate should give you their fathers' names which may help you further.

Regards
Heywood

Hello,
You would have to send for the details.

This is the site https://www.freebmd.org.uk

You need to search for either name and the year.
This is the result
Abergavenny December quarter volume 26 page 11.

Just found this

Find My Past might show more with the church details but I have no access to that.

Marriage entry shows that Thomas' father is also called Thomas and he is a Hookmaker.  Sarah's father is James, a Labourer - no mention of Mary as a second forename.  At the time of the marriage the couple were said to be living in Rhymney.

Witnesses were,  Edwin Tippett Garland and Frances Richards.
