Skerratt in Llangelli Wales

[moore-canada]

Hi There

I am looking for information on Skerratt families living in and around Llangelli Wales (1800-1880).  Apparently my Great Grandfather Thomas (son of Oliver and Sarah) hailed from his area.  I have no idea on how to go about tracing this.  The information is coming from a letter written in 1943 by Thomas's son, Oliver Thomas Skerratt who was born in Audley England in 1875.  Supposedly Thomas' father Oliver was an officer in the British forces stationed in Gibraltar.  Until this letter was unearth I have been working under the assumption that Oliver Skerratt (the father) was from the Staffordshire England area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

This looks like the marriage for Oliver's parents

SKERRATT    Hannah        W. Bromwich    6b   962    
SKERRATT    Thomas        W. Bromwich    6b   962

Are we looking at cousins marrying or not?

Hi Girl Guide

I know about Oliver Tom born in 1875 in Audley, it is his father Thomas that was apparently born in Llangelli, Wales.  On Thomas's death certificate in 1930 Toronto Canada it list his parents as Oliver Skerratt and Sarah Thomas.  According to family information Thomas was born in 1855 or 1856 but I don't know how to find out where he was born, I only have the information that Oliver Tom put in a 1943 letter about his dad being from Wales. 
Any ideas???
Thanks

Hi Girl Guide

I should add that you are correct Thomas Skerratt married Hannah Skerratt and they are Oliver Tom's parents.  Hannah's parents were Thomas Skerratt and Mary Brassington.  My big problem is I am dealing with 2 Skerratt families.  I am trying to figure out if there is any validity to the claim that Thomas Skerratt, son of Oliver Skerratt and Sarah Thomas and the father of Oliver Tom came from Wales.
Thanks
