Here is another name I am trying to find information on. David WILLIAMS
married Mary DAVIS or Davies (looks like Davis on certificate) on 28
Jan 1843 in Carmel Chapel, district of Merthyr, Tydfil. He was a
Bachelor Boat Builder of Ynysfach, Merthyr Tydfil. His father was David
Williams, a carpenter.
Mary was from Newbridge an old name for Pontypridd. So she came from
the lower SE corner of Llanwonno Parish in Pontypridd itself. ( I've
had a lot of help with this from someone in Wales reading their marriage
certificate) They had two daughters. Jane, who was my great, great
grandmother, born 21 Jul 1848 in Merthyr Tydfil. And Ann born about 1843
who may have married a Jones. Jane married Taliesen Bevan from Dowlais
on 22 Dec 1866 in Llaniddal and immigrated to the US (Pennsylvania) in
1871 with a son.
I found David and Mary in an 1851 census living on Tram Road Side. Mary
and daughter Ann's birth place is listed as Langadog, Carmarthenshire,
Wales. David birth place is Lanvairbryn, Carmarthenshire, Wales. And
Jane was from Merthyr as stated.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help. Mary
