Mary Prees and David Davies
« on: Thursday 15 September 22 09:05 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out any information on a Mary Prees who had a child David Davies in 1743 in Llansantffraid, Radnorshire. Mary apparently had the child out of wedlock, father also named as David Davies. I do not know if Mary died early or married another person or who her parents were, any help would be most grateful as I have come to a dead end with her history apart from the birth record of her son.   David Davies the father I have not found his history either with the name being so common in United Kingdom.

Thank you in advance.

4 baptisms 1 burial eliminated, all some distance from above.
No marriages in the County but there are in adjoining Counties, especially Breconshire.

As Llansantffraid Cwmteuddwr, Radnorshire, is near the border with Breconshire, I note that there were two baptisms there, again some distance.

Thank you Colin for you help will check out the information.  Mary has proved most elusive after having the child.
I have pretty much given up on finding David Davies the believed father, have had more luck with their son David it appears he is in my husbands family line of Davies.
