Marriage look-up JONES+EVANS 1872 Bedwellty

[Arranroots]

Morning all!

Would anyone have access to Bedwellty marriages and could look up the following, please?
William JONES + Ann EVANS, Bedwellty 23 Dec 1872.
Not on Ancestry or FreeReg

Ann's father should be Jesse but I'd like to know William's father and any witnesses, plus occupations or anything really!

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi AR 

No marriage but found Banns - Ann Evans's father is a Jesse Evans.Ann was 19 and William 26 at the time .

Had a look at the cert - it just says 'Dead' for Williams's father.

Witnessses - William Thomas and Jesse Evans

Jesse - a collier.

Oh boohoo!

Thank you for your trouble though, Gadget. I decided to take another swing at this family and thought it wouldn't be easy. I think I need a spreadsheet or something!

Hmmm- those Joneses. So a William b.c. 1846. Became a collier.  Do you have a birthplace for him on any censuses?

[Arranroots]

Yes, William was born in Merthyr, Glamorgan in 1846.

I like the look of parents Daniel and Elizabeth in 1851, siblings include Esther (three of his children's names):
Page Number
73
Registration Number
HO107
Piece/Folio
2458 / 212

But of course there are several other options.

Might try tracing Daniel forward and see if he dies before the marriage but am a bit rusty at this!

Just thinking - if William didn't know his father's name or occupation, he might have either died when William was young or it's perhaps a cover for illegitimacy 

[Arranroots]

Yes, I'm open to all possibilities. Wouldn't be the first child born out of wedlock in our family tree!

Family at Reply #5 is looking hopeful - Daniel dies (sometime) and Elizabeth remarries in 1859.
