Hello, would someone be very kind to look up a marriage for me. Unfortunately, I live too far away to search th local Parish Records. I have a Richard Davies c1804 of Tayfeglws (I think that is how it is spelt), occupation - Shoemaker and his wife Elizabeth (surname unknown) c1808 of Worthin, Montgomery. Their first child William was born in 1834 of Montgomery, so I would presume they married around 1832-1834. 1841 census shows they were living at Bebb's Yard in Montgomery. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Many Thanks.

Hi Sharon
Only two possibles showing in the Montgomeryshire Marriage Index around that time:
Llanwydddelan - 5 July 1830 to Elizabeth Griffiths (Richard a widower) - both otp
and
Llansanffraid ym Mechain 25 Oct 1832 to Elizabeth Edwards (by Licence so details at the Nat Library) - both otp
Neither seem to fit :-\

Many thanks for the quick response. I have just looked at www.familysearch and have come across an entry Richard Davies and Elizabeth Jones married 1 July 1833 Trelystan, Montgomery. I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct entry. Would you know the whereabouts of Trelystan?

It's 4 miles or so to the SE of Montgomery.
I see that it's a patron submission not an extracted record. It would need more checking. I'm surprised it's not on the index if it's correct. I'll take another look.

added - nothing in the index so I'd be looking for further evidence if I were you :-\
