Hi,
I have a marriage cert. of Hannah Williams and William Pugh, my G.G.
Grandparents. It states that her father is "John", a haulier. I can
not find her birth FOR SURE!! I have found a Hannah Williams in Penalt
b. 1838, father John wife Jane. I can't connect her with William Pugh.
Neither of the witnesses are a "Pugh" or "Williams" on the M.
certificate.
The Cert. of marriage states they were married in Pontypool, 12 Aug
1858, also that she is 24 years of age. Parish Trevethin. Could she
have "said" she was 24?? Or as William Gorden said, perhaps that was
what the person doing the recording heard. Did they require PROOF?
Were parents permission to marry required?
On the 1881 census in Tintern Parva district, it states she was born
in Trelleck, Monmouth. Married name is Hannah Pugh. Age was 42. This
seems to match the birth record in Penalt.
Any suggestions?? I've searched everywhere I can think of. I need to
make sure this is the correct "Hannah" RIGHT??!!
I have searched at the FH Center, ordered films, etc..And the

I did find a marriage of John in Pontypool.
Thank You, Jill in AZ. USA
(How is Trelleck spelled? Trelleck or Trellech? )
