Sarah Davies

[helenmelvin]

I have a Sarah Davies b1820 (app) in Clydey and m (1843) to a Benjamin Scourfield in Clydey.  Her father is listed on the Marriage Certificate as Benjamin Davies [farmer].  Sarah and her husband then moved to Carmarthen where his family were from.

Can anyone help me find any details of her birth and/or mother's details?

Are there any clues on the marriage certificate apart from father's name? Any Davies family witnesses? Sarah's address ?

The only Benjamin Davies that I can see in Clydey in 1841 old enough to have a daughter of Sarah's age and a farmer is this one

Benjamin Davies 50 farmer
Elizabeth 55

In 1861 they've been drinking the fountain of youth

William and Esther still there and in their late forties.

Benjamin Scourfield is in Llanfyrnach in 1841 an ag lab living in the outhouse next to Shop Coed Bach.

Parish Records for Clydey for this period are at the NLW and Pembs Record Office. The Bishop's Transcripts have been filmed by the LDS and the call number is 0105137.

Thanks for your help.

Sarah's address is given as Penhyw which seems very similar to the address of Benjamin Davies.  Thanks again.

The marriage witnesses are David Mattias and Stephen Owen - no clues there.
