Hello All,
I wonder if SKS would help me please. I am trying to find a Mary Moseley on the 1871
census she was born about 1869 Father Edwin Moseley residing in 1889 according to the
marriage certificate at Pontllanfraith. From my records I have the 1861, 1881 and 1891
census for Edwin and his family. She would not have been born on the 1861 census and would
have been married by the 1891 census, she is missing from 1881, I do not know why !!!
But perhaps she is on the 1871 she would be aged about 2.
The family did not move very far during this 30 year period.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Regards,
Ian.
