Osprey,
Sincere thanks for all your time and effort. They were married in the Register Office, would assume that may be in
Merthyr? It states 1894 Marriage at The Register Ofice in the District of Merthyr Tydfil etc. etc. Residence at time of
Marriage was 9 Harries Chapel Row, Merthyr Road, Hirwain.
Almost identical for William, only 10 Harries Chapel Row.
The death would certainly explain why the child was with James Prosser & family. I will obviously have to make a decision as to whether or not I want to order that death
certificate. I was looking at the 1881 Census again, but there
are really too many to make a definite ID. Best I could come up with was a family living in Penderyn, Father John, Coal Miner,Mother Mary both born Carmarthen. That would explain the name given to the child. There was also a younger Brother David James, so the entry looks very like my
family. I really appreciate all your help. Hopefully I can sort it all out, if not, I can at least say the effort was made.
Grannie - in a bitterly cold -20 day in Canada.
