Good morning to all
Earlier in the year Brenda Jones, after a lot of work, managed to find the burial place of
my Grandmother Mary Ann Hughes, so I have now turned my attention to her Mother, my
G.Grandmother Ann and I am currently trying to find her death.
Ann Hughes, formerly Plummer but I don't think this is her maiden name. From census
information, she is always born in Sirhowy, Bedwelty - however, her date of birth varies
between 1822 and 1835 :-(
The last record I think I have of her is in 1891 census, address : Prince Llewelllyn,
Llangynider, Dukes, Brecknockshire. She is living with her now married daughter, Mary Ann
Evans (this surname mysteriously becomes Vane later but that's another can of worms).
I haven't found her the 1901 census so presume that she died between 1891/1901. I
have searched on FMP and have come up with just two deaths in Monmouthshire, none in
Brecknockshire and several in Glamorganshire with three distinct districts : Pontardawe,
Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil. In an effort to narrow down my search and avoid having to
buy more DC's than necessary, I would be grateful if someone could tell me (presuming
she stayed in Dukestown) which registration district would cover that area at that time.
Many thanks - Gwen
