Mary Richards nee Jones c1865

[Johnsam93]

My aunts great grandmother Mary Richards nee Jones was born around 1865 in Aberdare, Glamorgan.
She married John Richards in Siloh Chapel, Tredegar in 1885 and had 3, possibly four children and died before 1901 census.

Can anybody assist me with the following questions at all please?

1.  Have not been able to find any death record for Mary Richards between 1891 and 1901

2.  Had three children, Jonah, David and Mary Hannah, but I believe may have had a fourth John Richards c 1898 as I believe husband married again around 1907 to Ellen Jenkins and in 1911 census John Richards pops up, but have been unable to find any record of him in 1901 census etc.

Many Thanks in advance for any pointers.

have you found Mary on an earlier census before marraige? could her age in 1891 given as 26 be wrong?
There are several age 24yrs old 27yrs and 40yrs Mary  and mary ann richards death bedwelty.

Hi
Although on the 1891 census it gives Daniel Richards b 1889 on the 1901 census it gives David b 1889 I see no birth or death for a daniel but a birth for David Richards 4th qtr 1888 bedwelty vol 11a page 100

Hello Cardiff,

Thank you so much for your replies.  Yes, it is David and not Daniel in 1891 census as you suspect. I see where you are coming from re Mary's age etc. and am in the process of trying to find out Marys parents so can see on previous census whether age is roughly the same, although as we all know that ages on census records are taken with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise.  At least +/- 2-3 years.

Thanks again and if receive anything in the meantime on Mary will let you know.

Thanks again for your time.

John

Hi
If you had the marriage certificate it  may give her age , but also her fathers name and witnesses names, they may help.
Just a thought
