Marriage 1846

[Bethan]

Hi Ivan, thank you for all your help you have both been very kind, I think that I will suggest looking for the wedding certificate to my friend, I think they were married in Pennslyvania as that is where thier first child was born and they either married in 1870 or 71, do you think that I would be able to get the details on ANCE.... as our local library has free access to that site?
I have found a John Davies on the IGI whose father is called Reece Davies, it appears the father emigrated to the USA, this John Davies came from South Wales and the birthdate matched, how did you get the 1910 census, I can only get the 1900 and 1920 on Family search?

Thank you again for all your help, very best wishes Bethan

Hi Bethan

I don't know where Ivan saw the 1910 census but you can see it on Ancestry if you have world wide subs if using the UK version. I am still trying to find an emigration record of John.

Thanks Evie for all your effort, it is very kind of you, I will check ANCE... when I get chance to go to the library.

Hello Bethan

On familysearch.org, I found this family that could be yours.
John R Davies, age 37, born -- Wales
Clara Davies,  age 24 , born -- PA
Harry Reed Davies, age 6, born PA
Clara L Davies , age 4 , born IL

Source Information
Census Place --Little Rock, Pulaski, Arkansas
Family History Library Film   1254054
NA Film Number T9-0054
Page Number 322B

The family information was from the 1880 United States census. If I remember right, I seen a John R Davies birth or christening in 1843. I will try to retrace my search and maybe able to get back to you.

Thanks a lot Bob, it is the right family I had the information from the immigrants forum on this site,the fact that Clara the wife and the son Harry were born in Pennslyvania leads me to think that is where the marriage took place.
It also said on the 1900 that John emigrated in 1868, but what I am really trying to find out is where in Wales he originated, and Davies being such a common name means that I am finding it very difficult.

Thank you for your help, you are very kind
Very Best Wishes Bethan

Hi Ivan Gene is the friend that I am trying to help and he has asked me to try and find out what part of Wales Harry's Father John Reed or Reece Davies came from, unfortunately the information that he sent me is very patchy, but I will plod on regardless, thank you again for your help, at least now I know that John came from South Wales, I also found out this afternoon that Harry and Della were married in Washington Co. and not Pennsylvania as I thought.

Best Wishes Bethan
