Subject: [WALES-GEN] Banns in Wales
Hi List..
I am after some help or advise. When my ggrandfather was born in 1880 in
Llanstrissant there was no father noted on his birth certificate, in the
1881 census he was living with his mother, uncle and grandmother. When he
got married around the 1900's he noted a John Davies (same surname as his
mothers maiden name), Farmer, deceased. My Grandmother has told me that
when ggrandfather was growing up he use to go around and visit his father
then living in Cardiff but the name of this father is not know to my
grandmother. The story as my Granmother knows it is that Her Grandmother
was supposedly engaged to the father but then called it off for some
reason,
and I was wondering if there is anyway of tracing a engagement of
sorts.
Were Banns common place in Wales in the late 1870's or Intentions to
Marry?
I am not sure where this would have taken place...my ggrandfather was
born
in Llanstrissant, and my gggrandmother was born in Cwmbran (according to
the
1881 census).
Thank You
