Couldn't everything make a lot more sense if William Richard(s),the husband of Hannah,was the brother of Sophia Priscilla on the 1871 Furnace,Sguborycoed census?He is given as born Talybont as,I think Hannah,s husband is in 1911,if it is him with the Shugars in Pontypridd 1911.There is an apparent couple of years difference,but I'm not sure William(or Lydia Harriet) were ever really traced.This would also put him relatively geographically close to Hannah.

Hi - quick question before I have to go out:

Is there a quick way to find the references you give for the census' apart from scrolling down all the 1911 census' with William Richards in please?

I have a 1911 census which shows Hannah (wife), Jane, Margaret, Dorothy and William J but no sign of William the husband and you mention above that he might be with the Shugars but I can't find that one.

Ok - not working then - I did exactly the same as I did for 'nestagj' and Ancestry are supposed to send you an invitation to see my tree just by using your nickname 'tac' I can do it another way - if you give me your email address in a pm it'll work.

Hi again Tac

Yes, I have in the past been in contact with others who seem to have my grandmother in their tree - one of them is my sister Sharon (Carter family) and she lives in Australia now but she didn't bother following it up.  Another (Owen family) have suggested that William Richards married a Jane Lloyd after Hannah - but I don't think that's my William Richards - and another (Hobbs family) seem to have connections to my father's side (Ebdon) but all of these are poorly sourced.  I don't trust anything to be true unless I can prove it!

Your postcards really intrigue me and that's why I joined this group.  Do you want access to my tree so you can see my sources, as Nestagj has?  I can include you if you like?

Hi Tac

All I can add is that my Nan (Susannah Sophia Richards) came to London (don't know when exactly but it was after 1911) and she got married in 1920 to my Grandfather (William James Ebdon) in Southwark.  They had two children, Roy Kenneth James Ebdon (my father) and Roland William Ebdon - both are deceased so I can't ask them any questions!!!   

jaycey, do you know if margaret(susanahs sister)married a rees morris and lived in london

No, I'm sorry but I really don't know who she married.
