I am looking for Phillip GILBERT and his wife Elizabeth, nee DAVIES.
Phillip was born 14 May 1825 in Wales and Elizabeth was born 29 Nov 1832. I found out today that their daughter Margaret GILBERT was born 10 Jun 1861 in Ty Mawr, Gallygare/Gallygear, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. Very exciting news, as until now, all I knew is that they were from somewhere in Wales.
Before Margaret was born in 1861, they had at least four other daughters, Alice b. abt. 1851; Mary b. abt. 1853; Sarah b. abt. 1856 and Anna b. abt. 1858.
A coal miner, Phillip emigrated to Tioga county, PA in 1863, where he died in 1906. Elizabeth and her first 5 daughters and son Thomas followed in 1864.
I would greatly appreciate a lookup on the 1861 and 1851, maybe even the 1841 census. Any information on nearby GILBERTS would also be welcome - it seems to be a fairly uncommon name in Wales.
THANK YOU!
