Saunders & Rees family Rhymney

[merthyrastley]

Looking for further information on Mary Rees and her family born in Llabbadarnvawr Ceredigon or it could be Cardiganshire in 1847. I think the family arrived in Rhymney as she married Edward Saunders in Bedwellty  in 1868

What is her fathers name and occupation on her marriage cert?

1871 has birthplace as Llanbadarn Fawr so more than one contender

County was then called Cardiganshire, authority known as Ceredigion since 1996.

Do you have their marriage certificate to confirm names of fathers & their occupations?
