Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Isn't Llanbadarn Fawr in Aberystwyth which is in Cardiganshire - not Radnorshire?


I must admit that I thought that Llanbadarn Fawr was in Radnorshire (ie http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=4422&st=Llanbadarn%20Fawr) but thanks to your posting, it does seem that there is a parish of the same name in Cardiganshire.  So maybe the problem is that I have been searching in the wrong area.
Thank you for the census and death references.  I did also find that 1871 census record and also noted that things seemed to match apart from the occupation of the father.  I didn't really know whether I could assume for certain that it was the same family because of the discrepancy.  Are there other sources of information I should also be looking at (apart from census, birth, marriages and death records) which might help me confirm the connection?

Cardiganshire / Advice please - Jane Edwards of Llanbadarn Fawr
« on: Saturday 30 August 08 22:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi from a very green newbie :)
I wonder if anyone could possibly advise me please on how to progress with a search I am doing on a Jane Edwards who was born in Llanbadarn Fawr in approx 1861 (according to the 1891 census data).
She married Benjamin Cozens in 1886 in Middlesex and was residing in Battersea in 1891.
From her marriage certificate it seems that her father was called Hugh and was a farmer, although he was deceased at the time of her marriage.  Although I have trawled through census data online, I don't seem to be able to find a household in 1861 and 1871 with a father called Hugh Edwards who was a farmer and a daughter called Jane, so I am not sure how I can go about finding more information on her.

From family memories (not sure how accurate these are, though) Jane became a teacher and had a brother called Thomas Hugh Edwards, who might have 'worked on ships/in shipping'.  We think she died in or around 1897.

If anyone could please advise me how to move forward, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
