Ancestry of David Harris, born c.1798 in Llandeilofawr?
« on: Sunday 09 February 25 19:54 GMT (UK) »
Good day,
My partner is Welsh, and I have been trying very, very hard to accurately trace her ancestry, which is proving difficult as her surname is Harris. Her ancestry has many people surnamed Thomas, Davies, and Williams too.

I have hit a brick wall at David Harris, who according to the 1851 census, was born around 1798 in Llandeilo(fawr?), he married Anne Thomas on 4 December 1827 in Llandeilofawr (I have found marriage record). Their eldest son William, baptised 7 November 1828, is my partner's ancestor. They had at least 5 more children: David (1831), Thomas (1834), Herbert (1838), John (1842), and Harry (1846).

Can anyone help me trace the Harris name further back?

Regards,
Jack
