Dear List,
My ancestress Ann Harris was born in Garndiffaith, Trevethin (near Abersychan and
Talywain) in 1839 the daughter of James Harris and his wife Margaret Bevan. I received her
birth certificate in 1999 but have not been able to progress any further back with this
line since then despite valiant efforts. I have no census entries for James and Margaret
so consequently no ages or birthplaces or other children. I have however found a possible
marriage for them in 1836 in the neighbouring parish of Llanwenarth which I am almost
positive is the correct entry. I would be eternally grateful with any help with this
family that anyone can offer. No baptisms for a James Harris and Margaret Bevan are to be
found in the Llanwenarth parish registers but they may have been baptized (as adults?) in
Llanwenarth baptist chapel although I have found nothing in the randomly arranged
registers that exist for the chapel. Of course, they may not have been born there just
married there which is why AN!
Y census entries for this family would be fantastic.
Best wishes
James
