Oh wow! how amazing. Pauline this is very exciting.
John is certainly a name that was handed down.
I know it was very common then, but we have Thomas and John over and over.
They didn't have marriage certificates then did they. Do they have baptisms
there as well by any chance? I shall not go to bed quite yet, this is
incredible!
Thank you again,
Jane

Think I may have solved why Thomas is with John and Mary in 1841
Baptism Llanybri chapel Llanstephan
1833 3rd April - Thomas Harris, parents John Harris and Margaret
I then located their marriage
1830 4th March Llangynog parish church
John Harries and Margaret Roberts
Llangynog is the parish next to Llanstephan.......looks good to me
