Looking for Meredith family

[mabone]

My ancestors come from Montgomeryshire, I have got as far as my Great grandfather who was Richard meredith born in1867 in Newtown, need some help with this, is this a common family name in this area, what are my chances of finding other generations?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

This is the Welsh 1871 census for Maesmawr  Llandinam 
Montgomeryshire  - all b Llandinam 

Stephen Meredith 24  labourer
Margaret   29 
Richard 4 
Stephen   3 
George   1 
RG10; Piece: 5613; Folio: 49; Page: 7

The 1881 census is free at www.familysearch.org

A copy of Richards marriage cert will confirm his fathers name

There was only one other Richard Meredith in that age year on the 1871 and he was b Merionethshire

A Richard Manuel Meredith was b Newtown 1870

Also this could be Richard Marriage two possible Brides

BMD Marriage Richard Manual Meredith  Dec qtr 1892 Newtown 11b 346

think the Manuel may be an error because one of the brides is
Mary Manuel  and the other possible is Sara Ann Pike

[CaroleW]

think the Manuel may be an error

A Richard Manuel Meredith was b Newtown 1870
