I wonder if any lister can help. The above were one set of my wife's 2x gt grandparents. Charles Davies was a butcher in Milford Haven (Steynton as was). I think Mary died between the 1841 and 1851 census, because I believe Charles remarried an Eleanor Brown from Dale. Charles was born circa 1811. I am trying to trace parents of Charles and Mary, so if anyone can help I will be pleased to hear. Many thanks Henry Johnston
Dear Henry, You could not have two more common surnames than Davies and Harries....if you have traced Charles in census entries later than 1841 can you tell me please what is given as his birthplace?. If you have the parish register marriage record, who were the witnesses? Folks usually married in the bride's parish...so thee are a couple of possibles for Mary Harries' parents if they married at Steynton.. John Harries 1800 married Penelope Roberts William Harries 1807 married Elizabeth Roach There is a Will listed at Steynton for a John Harries in 1816.....now The Nat. Library has pre-1858 Wills on line you could perhaps look that one up to see if Mary is mentioned. There is also a Will for a Mary Davies proved at Prendergast 1848 and one for 1849 Prendergast, Haverfordwest........these areas are not very far from the uppermost parts of Steynton, so perhaps they are worth a quick look as well.
