Thanks for that, Barbara.....

Following the marriage certificate arrival today for Joseph BAUER and Emma MANSFIELD, I went back to the 1841 census to look for Emma again.

The only Emma Mansfield I can find born in Montgomeryshire is the following……

HO107/ 1440/ 14/ 17/ 25

Aberhafesp Berriew, Montgomery Wales

Joseph Mansfield 63  Farmer
Emma Mansfield 19 
Evan Brunt 37 
Martha Jones 17 

This Emma does have a father Joseph, but he is a farmer, not a Timber merchant. He was not born in the county, while all the others were.

There does not seem to be an appropriate Emma in the 1841 Census for England, and in 1851 Emma did say she was born Montgomery.

Is Joseph's father Nicholas noted as deceased on the marriage cert?

David

Neither father is noted as deceased, David. 

I've been trawling IGI records for Nicolas/Nicolaus Bauer/Baur but nothing conclusive comes up.

I also checked the 1841 census for Nicolas, but nothing readily appears.

In 1851 there is a retired merchant/carter named Joseph Mansfield aged 78 and a widower born Oxton, Cambridgeshire, England living with daughter Mary Ann Mansfield in Cambridge. None of the other Joseph Mansfields look likely. I can’t see him in 1861, so most likely he had died by then.  I was hoping maybe young George Bauer would turn up with him.

I am so excited for you! Joseph Bauer , cook was b in France ... do you think his dad, Nicholas , may have been too?

deb

Deb, I suspect Nicolas was born in France, most likely in the Alsace region. There are a lot of Nicolaus Bauers listed on the IGI.....but no connection to Joseph that I can see.

The Horse Dealer bit has me intrigued......
