Hi Cass it all seems to tie in cant seem to find william and family in 1881 or 1891 to confirm will keep looking :)

Hi P.P. I think you're correct.

Brecknockshire/Ebbw Vale/ Llanover/Cwmtillery all more or less the same area.

So,Stating he was from Blaenavon...he could have also said..Brecknockshire.

Hi,1891 census says coal miner @ Upper Coed Cae,Llanover,Blaenavon...so,another clue ?

Cass

johns wife was emma cordy

johns occupation was the same as his dads collier

johns wife was emma cordy but it does not say who williams wife was

What was John's occupation on his marriage cert ?

Hi,Yes...i'M looking.

Do you have the marriage cert ? Can you give me his wife's name ?

Cass

thanks cass, are you able to look for me

Hi,Blaenavon and Brynmawr are about 5 miles apart so it looks like the Pontypool/Ebbw Vale area's for looking.
