Hi Chris
The 'Freebmd' website at
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl lists a
likely marriage between John Hibbard and Margaret Price in the December 1881
quarter, Bedwelty district, Volume 11a, Page 149. They are both listed on
the same register page. This information should be correct, but the
transcribers advise checking the actual registers before handing over £7 to
ONS for a certificate.
Neither person seems to have a birth registered in the Bedwelty district
during 1857 and 1858 respectively, but when you receive their marriage
certificate you could try having the parish registers checked for the same
church and see if any christenings/baptisms were recorded. [Gwent Record
Office.] Also, check the 1861 Census to see if this helps produce an address
and parish where they were both living, not long after their birth, as a
double check for the correct parish. If they were not Church of England then
tracking down the whereabouts of the right records may be a little more
complicated.

Subject: [BLAENAUGWENT] HIBBARD of Ebbw Vale and PRICE of Sirhowy
Hello,
I'm trying to find birth or marriage listings for my Great Grandparents
My Gr Grandmother Margaret PRICE was born in Sirhowy on Sept 13, 1858
her mothers name was Jenet she ahd three siblings Daniel, Mary and
Ann all born in Sirhowy. Margaret married my Gr Grandfather John
HIBBARD of Ebbw Vale( born in 1857) they immigrated to Waname PA in
abt. 1888 with three children: Margaret, Mary and William. My
grandfather, John Jay HIBBARD was their only child born in the US. I
would be grateful if someone could help me find birth and/ or
marriage records for them.
I have a record from Nov 15 1984 of a HIBBARD cousin from Ebbw Vale
named Derek A. HIBBARD He was the proprieter of John J. HIBBARD,
Builders, Ltd address New Yard, South End of Pennant street, Ebbw
Vale , Gwent his private address on the letterhead is "Greylands"
Badminton Grove, Ebbw Vale Gwent This record came from Herbert
MORRIS, my fathers first cousin, he was the son of Mary HIBBARD, he
described Derek a. HIBBARD as a third cousin. I wonder if anyone
could help me find Derek HIBBARD or his decendants, John J. HIBBARD
builders or "Greylands" . Thank you for your efforts.
