Rachel Adams dob c.1835 was the daughter of William & Rachel Adams (nee Davies) of Monmouthshire, Wales. Rachel married William Rosser and they emigrated to Western Australia in 1859.
I understand Rachel may have been born in Trevethin, Monmouthshire, Wales.
I am seeking to identify her exact place and date of birth if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

the 1841 census shows Rachael as 4, so she was born before the start of civil registration, the most you will find is a baptism, and that may, or may not, show a date of birth, and may just show the abode as Trevethin.
1841 Cambrian Row, Hamlet of Cwmdu, Glam HO107/1422/16 folio 9 pg 10
William Adams 40 miner
Rachael 35
Ann 14
Thomas 13
Elizabeth 9
Solomon 7
Samuel 5
Rachael 4
Sarah 2
Catherine 4 months
only Catherine born in county, all the others born outside of Glamorgan
I've not found a baptism in the established church for Rachel, but there is a non-conformist one for Solomon
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FQP8-RPJ
the 636 in the entry ref identifies the baptism as being in the Wesleyan Chapel in Trevethin, the survival of non-conformist records is patchy and the ones that do survive may not have been deposited at record offices.

Hello Chris Willcox
I think we are related if your related to Aunty Bubs in Pemberton. I'm the granddaughter of Sadie Mifflin( nee Sarah Anne Haley Rosser). I do have bits of information but mostly about the Mifflin side.
I hope you get to read this as your post was so long ago.
Cheers
