I am looking for my great, great Grandmother she was born in 1866 in Garndiffaith, Monmouthshire to unknown parents but in 1886 in Pontypool she married William Harrison, if anyone can help me out I would be very grateful.
Kind Regards
Bethan Catherine Price

This looks like her - Garndiffaith is just north of Pontypool.
