Hello James! Great to read your post.. of course I'd love to make contact! I'm a little busy elsewhere and so haven't been spending any time on research just lately, but luckily I was alerted to your post. You need to make a couple more posts in order to activate the PersonalMessage option (see beginning of this topic..), then we could exchange personal emails if you like.
Looking forward to further contact.  Roy

Hello Saltwater! Yes, amazing and wonderful to read your posts!!
I tried to PM you straight away, but have just realised that you can't receive PMs until you've posted 3 times.. so you probably won't get it.
Reading back through this thread I can also see that there are still leads and information I need to pursue.. this site is fantastic :) And I would love to hear more from you.. your photo would be wonderful to see, and that old sea chest must be a real treasure!
I wonder what relation we are to eachother through sharing the same great grandparent, in terminology, I mean :) If you post again it should allow us to PM..

Montgomeryshire / Re: David WHITTALL b. 1845 Bettws-y-crwyn + Mary (HARRIS?) b. 1848 Llanwnog/Caersws

Well, I now have a copy of the marriage certificate for the marriage on July 1st, 1868, at Llanwnog of
David Whittal, res. Caersws, father John Whittal, mason, and
Mary Harris, res. Caersws, father Benjamin Mills, farmer..!
How can this be explained.. Mary was aged about 20, could she have been married before??

Thanks.
I'm very confident in the 1891 census that puts the family at Easthampton, Shobdon, and shows Mary Whittall b 1848 at Llanwnog.

(Must go to work now  :))

Harris is a long shot, taken from another Ancestry family tree (but which contained rather sparse information.. I was hoping that it's compiler had some personal family information).

The 1871 census shows her as Mary Whittal, wife of David, b Caerens abt 1847, living at Little Brampton and Rodd Nash with their first two children, Anne and Mary, both aged 3.. though Anne was actually b 1865. So I imagine they were married around 1864/65.
David Whittal is shown born Bellers which I assume should be Bettws.. but this could, of course, be another family..??
