Alun,
The marriage cert should give her place of birth, current residence, her
father's name and occupation. It also lists witnesses. What place of
birth is listed?
Also, my great grandparents were married in 1841. Had their first child
in 1851. I can only suspect that there was a problem conceiving,
miscarriages or, deaths of previous children.
Unless I'm lucky enough to find a child while going over the orginal
parish registers at the archives, I'll never know. I have found other
children, quite by accident, while scanning the registers. Unfortunately,
I live in California and can't get to the archives very often.:o)
Good luck,
Arlene
Hi Keith. Thankyou for showing an interest in my research. But I
believe
Elizabeth Ann would be 8yrs in the 1891 census making the marriage I
Hope about
1883 ish . have been down the line for a marriage in Llandegai also a
birth
in Rhoscolyn, also a birth in Rhoscolyn and a marriage in LLandegai.
.Have
located a marriage of two Morris Owen[s] and both are married to a Jane ,
so
you see my problem unless I can locate the birth of Elizabeth Ann [which
will
tell me her mother's maiden name ]. The two Janes are Pritchard married
1882
in Bangor Register Office [but cannot locate them in the 1891 census when
Jane
Pritchard would be 30yrs and Morris Owen would be 30yrs with a daughter
Elizabeth Ann aged 8yrs.] The other Jane is a Jones this marriage did
take place
in 1875 in Rhoscolyn and this family does tie up with the family which
you
have in the 1891 census Morris being younger than Jane by 3/4yrs when
they got
married and 7 yrs in the 1891 census. I am inclined to accept this family
is
mine, but to be marrried in 1875 and have their 1st child in 1883 seems a
long time to me but need to make sure before I proceed further back in my
research, and discard the Jane Pritchard marriage. So the bottom line is
to find
any Morris Owen who has had a child named Elizabeth Ann about 1881- 1884
,
thinking Jane might have been a 2nd christian name.Elizabeth Ann was
maried in
1903 to a Hugh Owen at Bangor register Office she was then 20yrs hence
being
born in 1883.
