Thanks to CaroleW & Cas for this information. Certainly looks
like the correct family and little wonder I could not find them.
Sorry, I did not mention Esther in my message. I was under
the impression she had died. Obviously, her death was very
much exaggerated! Esther does not appear on the 1881
Census so a marriage would seem to be the obvious way to
go now. Cannot thank people on this site enough, they
put the professional sites to shame when it comes to finding
lost relatives.

CaroleW,
I really can't thank you enough for all this wonderful info.
You have saved me much time and money by giving of your
time and effort. Other members of my family will think me a
genius, and I will accept all of the glory (only kidding). As my
name will probably suggest, time is something very precious.
I am hopeful that my grandchildren and great grandchildren
will look at this in the future and be made aware of their
roots. I was born in Wales, so this makes it all the more
important to me. Sincere thanks.

Hi
My husband was born in Wales and spent his first 6 months there - and very proud he is of that fact. (His mother was visiting her sister during the war) He gets quite emotional when they play Land of My Fathers at Rugby matches (honest)
Do you already have John Prosser on the 1851 etc?
I'll post the 1851 for Llantillio Crossenny seeing as how I've found him
Pantagoidas farm (I think) All b Llantillio Crossenny unless shown otherwise

Grannie ...
Wheyoham should read 'Wyesham' ... its on the English side of the River Wye, but still technically part of Monmouth, which is in Wales !
(I live about three miles away !)

CaroleW,
Thanks for that message, I can relate to the "Land of my Fathers" bit, it gets me every time. I was born in Barry,
Glamorgan of an English Father (Berkshire) and a Welsh
Mother. I have a bit of a mixed up family, two Daughters,
one born in Wales the other in Canada and two Sons, one
born in Scotland the other in Canada. My husband is a Scot
with an Irish Grandfather, so you see we have the UK pretty
well covered. We have visited your part of the world a few
times. Have been in Monmouth, Skenfrith, Llantillio Crosseny
and loved that part of the country. The Wye Valley is really
lovely and so much history all around. Yes, I have the 1851
Census you mentioned, courtesy of another person on Rootschat. Thanks again, tell you husband to hang on to his
love of Wales. My eldest Daughter left Wales as a child but
still has a soft spot for all things Welsh. Nice chatting with
you.
