I am trying to find the parents of Roger Prosser. He was born around 1825 in Llandilo, Radnorshire I think. In the 1861 and 1871 census he shows up in Llanfrynach, Brecon.
Mary seems to change her age quite a bit and I have found a difference of 10 years but I think she was born around 1820 in either Llaneclives or Gwenddwr or Loreen Brecon. I think her father may have been Rhees Lloyd of Crickadern, Brecon who was born around 1791.
I have really hit a brick wall with Roger and could really use some help. Thanks for any offerings ???

Kay,
Not sure if we've corresponded before on this subject.
I think your 'Roger' may be my 2nd Gt Grand Uncle (brother to Thomas Prosser (1805 - 1884), therefore son of David Prosser and Magolan (Magdalen or Martha) Wathen (married 8 Dec 1804, Aberedew).
I've got Roger being born about 1819, and marrying Mary Lloyd 17 April 1854 at Llandilo Graban. They had 3 sons, James (abt 1853), David 1856 and William 1860.
Regards
David

Hi David
The information you have on Roger is the basically the same as I have except for his parents. I haven't been able to find any documentation of who they are. I also have two different birth years for Roger - 1819 or 1825 both in Llandeilo Graban, Radnor.
I have him marrying Mary Lloyd on 17 Apr 1854 in Llandeilo Graban. On the 1851 census he was working as a labourer for Mary's father, Rees Lloyd in Loreen, Llandeilo Graban.
I have 3 sons for Roger and Mary - James 1853, David 1856 and William 1860 (He was my husband's great grandfather). Do you have any information on these people and their families? I have the info on William down to my husband but not sure of his brothers.
I would be very interested in sharing information with you if you think we have the same ancestors. Do you have any records on Rober's parents?
Merry Christmas
Kay
