Marriage
« on: Tuesday 04 October 05 23:17 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with the marriage of John Pryce Bennett and Mary (Ann) Davies, born in St Harmon and Llangurig.  He was born in 1891.  She was a servant and got pregnant by him. 

His family were 'well off' and when he said he'd marry her, they disowned him.  The baby was born in Merthyr Tidfil but am not sure where they married.  I have looked up all marriages on bmd for Merthyr T., from Mar 1890 to Dec 1892 but haven't come across anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Rhys.  That could well be them.  Their grandson who I have recently met is a 2nd cousin once removed (I think)  My gr grandfather was a brother to his grandmother.  Possibly he could be a year or two out.
Thanks again
