Thomas EVANS & Amelia NEAT

[MaidinEngland]

Looking for some help locating this couple after their marriage.  I cannot find any trace of them.  I have pieced together Amelia's history but have nothing for Thomas Evans.
 
They married at Monmouth St Marys on 17 July 1825.  Both signed their names and both were said to be of the parish.  Witnesses were John and Frances Morgan.
 
I have checked the original marriage certificate and banns on Ancestry but there is no further information.  Strangely, Ancestry have provided a transcript which says both bride and groom were living in Abergavenny.  I can't work out the source of this. 
 
Amelia had a complicated past.  She was baptised twice - in 1804 and 1816,  as Meliora Neat, the illegitimate daughter of Frances Neat.
 
Frances Neat married John Morgan in 1812.  He was a blacksmith who later became the sexton at Monmouth St Mary's church.  He died in 1845 aged 68 so born abt 1777.  His ancestry is also a mystery.
 
I found 7 baptisms in Monmouthshire with parents Thomas & Amelia Evans.  These were all the offspring of Monmouthshire born Thomas Evans and Amelia Warren who married in Bristol and settled in Goldcliff, Monmouthshire.

From FreeREG . They usually offer the place and county, but not this record though it was under Monmouthshire.
St Mary the Virgin Parish Register
Marriage: 17 Jul 1825 . Thomas Evans . Amelia Neat
There is a St Mary Virgin church in both Monmouth and Abergavenny, but there are others also in Monmouthshire. Ancestry may have evidence, or made an assumption.

In Abergavenny it is also known as St Mary’s Priory.

Is it possible Amelia died before 1837?

Hi Talacham

Tks for the reply.  My couple were indeed married at St Mary the Virgin, Monmouth and that is where the banns were read also.

There is a conflicting document on Ancestry which confirms this but adds a bit more info - stating that the couple were living in Abergavenny.  Surely if this was the case, the banns would be read there?

Hi Carole,

Tks for the suggestion.

I think you may be correct about Amelia dying before 1837.  I have checked Monmouthshire burials but of course, they may have moved away.  Wider searches on Ancestry and Find my Past have drawn a blank.

I have also age checked the national GRO indexes up to 1881.

No point in checking for Thomas Evan's death as I don't have any info at all to go on.
