Mary & Leah had bros Daniel, Rowland, Moses (my GGfather) Aaron & sisters Rachel & Elizabeth. You can see which were the favourites..

so it seems tho it's on the other side of the family as well! No escape...

Certifiable does one mean?
Splitting hairs day today for me.

Love you too Gin...:)

Fanny's not a midwife but she defo is 'certified'

x

Births Sep 1851
James Leah Abergavenny 26 7

Think this may be Leah as she is not on 1851 with parents.


So you have Leahs daughter Catherine to thank for the midwifery Gene then ...

That's them allright Fanny by gaslight! The names have run throug the family, my brother, grandfather & Uncle Rowland. They weren't a very imaginative lot. I like the certified midwife bit, so am I!!
Cheers, you're a star :)

Sorry, had to take a break. Not a lot on Leah only that she is mentioned in those letters. Living in Garndiffath 1871 as was Mary, married to Anthony Lloyd & with daughter Anne who was 6/12 old in '71 She must have been the youngest I think so born after 1849. she wrote one of the letters in 1867.

May as well finish off the Leah Lloyd/James census..

Ooooo,certified midwife,brave woman as it was really thought by men that it was not necessary to have training in midwifery and had to be fought for almost as hard as the vote for women,,but of course it wasnt the men dying of chidbirth...

Yes Gin...Sigh.......

Leah Morgan daughter of Mary (nee James) and Edward Morgan

And Leah Lloyd 1850 ish(nee James) sister of Mary with same father William James

So were there 2 Leah's then caus the 61 you posted has a Leah down as daughter?

Edit; Yep there had to be 2 Leah's

x

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.

Wasnt Leah's father Edward?

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

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

Mary James married Edward Morgan !!

1871

Father William James is with them and it is the same family as on 1881 but for some reason Anthony is down as Benjamin?On original it is that too and he is a collier.

When and where was Leah born?

Marriages Sep 1869
JAMES Leah Pontypool 11a 168
LLOYD Anthony Pontypool 11a 168

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.
