Hi Rosie,

Looks like you're correct in that her parents are Thomas & Mary.  Received her marriage certificate today which confirmed her father as a Thomas.  When I search for her birth on freeBMD (in 1859 in Llanelly), I get two entries for a Mary Ann Davies, one being born in September & another in December.  Think it'll be a matter of ordering both certificates & seeing which one has Thomas & Mary on the certificate?

What occupation is given for her father on the marriage cert? Does it match the Thomas on the 1861 census given above?
The Mary Ann noted on that census is enumerated as 2, so should have been born before 3r or 4th quarter in 1859. She may have been born after April of 1858.

There is a younger child on the 1861, Elizabeth age 2 months. There is only one Elizabeth Davies registered in Crickhowell in march qtr 1861 - vol 11b pg 142 mmn Marker.

Possible birth reg
Mary Ann Davies sept qtr 1858 Crickhowell vol 11b pg 120 mmn Marker
also
Thomas Davies sept qtr 1856 Crickhowell vol 11b pg 128 mmn Marker

parish marriage 4 July 1852 parish church of Llanelly
Thomas Davies 37 widower refiner Llanelly father William Davies ? agent
Mary Marker 25 widow Llanelly father David Evans gamekeeper

Which could explain birth reg of Rosana from 1871 census

Can't seem to attach Mary Ann's marriage certificate but the job description for her father, Thomas, does look like refiner.  What would a refiner be?

Possibly working in the ironworks.
