I went looking for a possible birth. None in Bedwellty specifically and too many in the surrounding areas!

I did find a poss baptism but Williams is such a common name 

Margaret Williams
Baptism date   28 Jul 1839
Bedwellty
Father William  - Quarryman
Mother Margaret

Their address was Pontabarbagarad?

There is this family in 1851 living in the hamlet of Ishlawrcoed Bedwelty - All born of Bedwelty

William Williams 52  Quarryman
Ann Williams    Daughter 22
Margret Williams Daughter  11

Interesting. A possibility, as Margaret's father's name on her marriage was William Williams so it does tie in. But, as you say, all very common names at that time.

Their address was Pontabarbagarad?

Kay - I think this is likely to be Pontaberbargoed.

Bedwellty was in Abergavenny Reg Dist in 1839. I note that 4 Margaret Williams' were registered in the first 3 Quarters.

....and no way of telling if the father was named William Williams!
