George Woodward

[ColC]

The marriage of George to Mary Williams 15 Aug 1858 Y Faenor, Breconshire states he was a Butcher residing in Aberdare, his father John was also a Butcher. Mary was of the parish.

In 1861 they are in Aberdare 15 miles from the place of marriage.

There was only one George Woodward born in Wales that was 1839 Pembroke.

George had left the family by the age of 14 maybe he had little contact with the family, at that age maybe he was trying to fit in?
