Hi Helen
Where and when did the marriage take place? If they were both
agricultural
labourers doubt if they would be on a trade directory......Llanybydder is
the parish next to Pencarreg...where was Benjamin living on the census
returns..maybe I can look somewhere for you.
CFHS have indexed both 1841 and 1851 Carmarthenshire census returns....its
easier to locate them with an index
