1861 Lookup please-David Richards
« on: Friday 20 July 07 18:39 BST (UK) »
I'm searching for David Richards b 1815 in Ystradgynlais

He is there in 71 with new wife Margaret and children Thomas 1850, David 1857, Mary 1859 plus three others born after 61. 
I don't know if wife Margaret (22 years his junior) is with him or his unknown first wife.

TIA

heywood,

Thank you for those.
I was hoping to find his first wife - I hadn't realised she had died before 51.
Finding another daughter, Elizabeth, is a bonus.
I've got to find that farm it must have been close to where I live now, so i'ts boots on in the morning and ask the local farmers.

Many Thanks

hello,
I was in the middle of checking up and got distracted - 1841- David Price has a sister Catherine and there is a marriage on Ancestry- 1847 (I think it was) David Richard to Catharine Price.
If you can't find it by searching yourself - I can look again

Hi heywood,

I was doing the same thing and found the marriage on FreeBMD.
Off to look for his marriage to Margaret.

Thanks again

Hello Fisherman,

I'm descended from David's sister Margaret (Williams), who emigrated to the US in 1855 with her 12 children.

Margaret Williams's obituary, mentioning Thomas Richard & Clyn Elen


Margaret's 1820 marriage in Ystradgynlais to William Williams, witness Thomas


1841 census showing Thomas still at Clyn Elen, with John, David, Mary


Margaret's 1854 executrix bond showing David, farmer, and John, collier, of Ystradgynlais


I'm very interested in learning anything I can of this Richard/Richards family in Wales.  Have been able to trace a number of descendants of David and brother John and sister Mary (Mathias), but not to the present day.

Thank you,
