Hi Nainmaddie and Astwood, Many thanks for your advice. I'll have a go at all you've suggested. You've been so helpful. I'll report back if I'm successful!! Gilllisa

Hi Everybody, Thanks for being kind enough to come up with the various suggestions. I did send for a birth cert of one of Mary & James' children (Celia) and lo and behold Mary was originally Mary Davies, as suggested. So we now have her parents and siblings. The parents were Susanna and...

Hi Ben & ulie, Have got birth cert for Celia (one of Mary's daughters) and her maiden name was Davies - so we have her parents William & Susanna Davies. Hooray!! Back another generation and many thanks for your help and suggestions Gilllisa:)

Hi Ben, Am doing this today. Thanks for the suggestion. cheers Gilllisa

Hi Ben, Yes you've probably helped Skip (his grandfather and mine turned out to be brothers and we are in touch). Trouble is John Hill is still defeating us (which is why I switched to his wife Mary Ann Pritchard). Unless something has come up with you and Skip reasonably recently - we're...

Hi Ben, I replied to you and Julie on my other posting looking for Mary's death, so again many thanks Gilllisa

Hi Julie & Ben, Many thanks for the additional information you have unearthed for me. I'll order the birth certificate of one of Mary & James' children and see if she was a Rogers or a Davies! The Beale side was very interesting - I had assumed that Edikth was Joseph & mary Beale's dau, but...

Hi Juliejtp, Many thanks for this mine of information. I will try and follow it all through, but on reading it all, it seems to me that you have struck gold!! The age for Mary is right, and I know she had six daughters with James Pritchard, one of whom was named Emily - age 8 in 1871. She...

:biggrin: Hi Julie, Thank you again, if you haven't found the right death??? (I don't know how to check this because a census would be to recent), then how would I go about finding a remarriage? Sorry to just keep asking questions, but I really don't know how to go about these things. Many...

Hi juliejtp, I don't know her maiden name, so I'll try the route you've suggested. Why don't I think of these things!!! Many thanks Gill

Hi All, This is 2nd post on Mary Pritchard (I'm also looking for her death!). I have the "middle" of her life via census and I know she was born in Monmouthshire (I think in Llangattock) circa 1838, but would like to find a definite birth entry to sort out her parents' names. Any help...

Hi, Can anybody help with finding the death of Mary Pritchard. She was born circa 1838 in Monmouthshire and appears in the census for 1871, married to James Pritchard with 4 daughters, and in the 1881 census as a widow with 2 more daughters in Llangattock (some of her elder daughters are close...

Hi Jojo. If you can give me any help I would really appreciate it. My Gt. grandfather was John Hill born 1860 in Llangattock, Monmouthshire. He married Mary Pritchard in 1883 (born 1861/2 in Llangattock/Llanhowell). In the 1891 and 1901 censuses they are well documented with their 8...

Hi All, To bring everybody up to date, it now appears certain that John Hill was born in 1860 in Llangattock, and the previous John Hill (1824) is probably wrong. Skip and I are now stuck on how to prove which one of a number of John Hill's is the correct one to order a birth cert. Anybody...

Hi Skip, I'm back again!!! Right, to go forward first, I had found out with the help of another genealogy site that John and Mary Ann Hill were married in Newport, and Augustus was born/registered there as you say in 1883. Wen Augustus was 16 they were in the 1901 census living in Llandough. I...

welcome Hi Skip (cousin?) I'm just on my way out so wiill reply later but I was so excited when I read your message. I would love some pics and yes I have some of Justin and family which I'd be delighted to pass on. I assume we would do that by email as I don't know how to do it by this site...

Hi Skip, Thanks for getting in touch - lets hope we can help one another!! My gt.grandfather was John Hill born in Llangattock probably in 1852, and married to Mary Pritchard. His father was another John Hill born in 1824 in (I think) Tredegar. He was married to Elizabeth ? who died quite...

Hi Steve, Thanks for trying. The Frances Kinder who married Thomas Hilton seems the obvious choice - IF she then went on to marry somebody Broadhurst before getting together with Thomas Brookes - proving it is the obstacle!!:) Perhaps I'd better leave her for a bit longer and concentrate on...

Hi Juliejtp, I haven't yet got a birth certificate but will do so, but it now appears that Elizabeth ARTHUR may be the lady's name - married to John Hill in Abergavenny in 1850. This is to update you as far as I have got, but obviously until I have the birth cert of John Jnr. I still don't...

Hi Steve, Yeah that makes sense (except your Gt. Granny was a woman - needing a good gossip!!) It's the lack of any mention of Frances Kinder turning into Fanny Broadhurst which is really niggling me. I need that link before its sensible to go back any further with her. Many:) thanks for your...
