Hi Bev,
Monmouthshire is not the only county to have two places with the same name!
There are two Stauntons in Glos. One is also known as Staunton by Monmouth
and is situated about half way between Monmouth and Coleford.
Mary Street Independent sounds like a Methodist Church - so the "birth"
record may well have been a baptism/ christening. There was (is?) a St
Mary's Street in the town of Monmouth.
Regards, John (in Kent UK)

Subject: [Mon] Could this be the right person?
Hi,
I was wondering if someone would know if this information is correct
or if I
have the wrong birth.
I found this family in the 1881 Census for Monmouth,
Amos WHEELER, Age 54, Born Staunton, Gloucester, Occupation: Chairmaker.
I have found a birth on Family Search:
Amos WHEELER, 11 Dec 1826, Mary Street Independent, Monmouth.
I am wondering if this could be the right person because of where he was
born.
Amos did marry and live in Usk, Monmouth.
Any help I would be most grateful for.
Bev Simmonds,
Asutralia.
