Yes Fannybygaslight, I am pretty sure these are the right ones. The childrens names all add up as do the places of birth. The 1851 result from Ginny looks right. Beaufort is where the family came from. Thanks again to you both.

When and where was Leah born?

Of COURSE I do Ginny.it was her maiden name.

Mary James married Edward Morgan !!

Wasnt Leah's father Edward?

Hang on Fans...Leah is the daughter of Mary and Edward. William was Mary's father

Nope.

Leah in OP was Mary James sister....Father William James as per 1871 with her.

But Mary and Edward Morgan DID have a daughter Leah who could not have possibly married Anthony Lloyd in 1869.
