Sadly not Pauline, was hoping to find out fathers' names from the
marriage certificate ;-)
I know at least after their marriage Daniel was a coalminer (surprise
surprise!)... I think I have him in a census before the marriage but I'm
not sure :(

Hi Katie
Do you know the name of her father, do you have her in earlier census, I did
look at our online indexes for Margaret Thomas age approx 4 years old, but
there are so many of them.......
In Llandebie parish 1851 cannot see a relevant one.......born in Llandbie
cannot see relevant one......if she was born in Carmarthen there are 7 or
more possiilities....
With popular names such as Daniel Jones and Margaret Thomas it is
difficult......maybe send the registrars an email enquiring which one could
be yours, the more info you have on them the easier to locate, do you have a
father and occupation for Daniel Jones.....?
