Hello all, well thank you! I just can't seem to find the right combination of children and parents....
I am trying to verify info found on a family tree at A***, if its correct then at long last I have the parents of my ggrandmother! but I haven't had a reply from the ownerof the tree, I'm trying to make contact, but in case I don't get a reply I thought I should try and verify the information?
All I know for sure is that Sarah Thomas was born in 1859 and in later census (after marriage) she gives place of birth as Pontypridd (which doesnt help does it?)
so no I don't have any more info... :(
but I'll go and have a look at all of your replies, thanks for helping,
newbie

To continue info requested via pm.  This would relate to birthdate given by contact

Births Sep 1859  Thomas  Sarah   Cardiff  11a 264

Check the link, Cardiff covered the district of Llantwit Vardre until 1863 when it was moved to Pontypridd.

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/cardiff.html

There are two others in Cardiff reg within Sept 1859 - Dec 1859 but both are Sarah Ann Thomas only one Sarah Thomas

Death: Sarah Moses age 85 Sept Q 1945 Pontypridd 11a 360

Looks likely father Thomas, died in Ferndale mine disaster Nov. 1867, looks like some possible brothers as well, with names of those on link I sent you. 

http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/deathrolls/Ferndale.htm 

You could check freebmd, possible death cert would give address, maybe help with 1871/1881 census.  Also first child is b Ferndale after they returned from US.  Need to verify this connection, possibly her birth cert?
