Hi Gaynor
Are you directing this to me as we were shating information on this
family a while ago?
I don't have a name in my database for Eliza but she did have Lampeter,
Cardiganshire in at least ome of the census reports so I would think
that would be correct and mot Lampeter Velfrey etc even though that is
much nearer Henry's family area.
Unfotuneately as you have seen there are rather a lot of possiblilities
in earlier census.
By the way I did pass on some of out information to the descendant of
the John Scourfield that I think was this henry's uncle i.e the brother
of Henry's father Henry - but I didn't get any response.
I did try one more prompt but still nothing. A pity as he did seem keen
to share information when we had contacted each other before.
If you decide to send for Henry and Eliza's marriage cert let me know -
I think the one you have found in 1870 seems to be the right one.
I have the 1891 census for Henry and family - that is the one that gives
Cardiganshire for Eliza.
I send it on to you offlist - there are two pages. They are still in
Mill street.
Cheers
Pat

Hallo
I'm trying to verify the surname of Henry Scourfield's wife, Eliza(beth).
He was born in 1852-ish in Llanllwch and she was born in 1851-ish in Lampeter
(not sure whether that was Llanbedr Pont Steffan or another one). I've found a
marriage for Henry Scourfield in the 2nd quarter of 1870 in Carmarthen (Vol 11a,
Page 954) but there are two Elizabeths listed, Jones and Davies, so I don't know
which one! I don't want to send for the marriage certificate just at the moment
so if there is any way you can find out, I'd be grateful.
I know you've looked up things about the Scourfields for me before. I have Henry
and Eliza (and offspring) in the 1881 census, living in Mill St, C'then, but
cannot find them in 1871, 1891 or 1901. One problem is the transcribers on the
Ancestry site interpret Scourfield in myriad ways!
Thanks and regards
Gaynor Carruthers
