John JOHNS born about 1793 died 1883 . He married Martha ? (maybe George) born about 1793 died 1869. I am searching for Martha's maiden name and date of marriage.
They had 5 children, David b.1824. Jamesb.1830. Morris b 1833.Ann b.1837.
and Eleanor. The address on the census was Allt Cydach Newport.
Any help would be appreciated.

In 1851 Census at Ty newydd John Johns place of birth is Cardigan ( in 1871 it is stated Verwig) Martha was born Pembroke. The children were born in Newport, The 1861 census is missing and Martha had died in 1869.
Thanks for helping.

Hi ,
Thank you for these. Although Martha Beddoe seemed the most likely I should have said that I had ruled her out because on the parish register John John had signed his name.On Martha's death certificate husband John John was only able to make his mark.
I shall have to check out the other entries. I was hoping to come across the surname 'George' for Martha because of a reference in a family letter. I would have obtained Eleanor's birth certificate and found Martha's maiden name. but the Haverfordwest Registrars have no record of her birth so the date on the census may be wrong.
Regards,
Prue

Hi Prue
Just wondering if you ever found out Martha's surname? If not then why not try the new search on the official GRO website, which will show the mother's maiden name. I have tried looking for you but I don't know what the registration district would be so the following is just one of many possibilities:
Eleanor JOHN, (mother GEORGE), March quarter 1840, Lllanelly Union, Vol 26 p 551.
