Hi Keith,
Thanks for your message.
The person I am looking for is called Margaret Davies (nee Williams). She was staying
with her married daughter in Brynmawr, Brecon in the 1871 Census (RG10/5589/16/25) &
her birth place is given as Montgomery Llabraidurair (? the handwriting is not very easy
to read).
I also have her in the 1851 Census visiting the same daughter in St Devereux, Hereford
where her birth place looks like Montgomery Lambramere.
As she was not in Montgomery, I agree with you that the enumerator had no idea what the
place was called & so tried to write it down phonetically.
Her age was given as 82 in 1871 & 60 in 1851. She was married in Hereford in 1812.
I'm not from Montgomery & this is the first person I've found in my family
tree from there, so I have no knowledge of the area. I'd be grateful for any
suggestions as to what this place is really called.
I have images of the documents which I could attach, but they're rather large & if
you don't have Broadband could take ages to download. Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Marilyn
