Apologies to those who receive this twice but I am posting to both HEF & MON lists for reasons that will become clear. Would some kind souls please see if they can find the following couple who have been eluding me now for some time in either the 1841 or 1851 census records. They are Thomas GREENLY and his wife Mary LOYD/LLOYD who were married in Dixton Newton, MON in November 1821. Children possibly with them - Benjamin born Chepstow MON 1826 (definite) and possibly Thomas born Christchurch MON 1829 and Thomas jnr born Monmouth MON 1832. There are probably others. A thorough search of the Dixton parish records (by the HRO) has shown that there are NO other GREENLY entries between 1785 and 1830 (baptism, marriage or burial). Thomas snr does not appear on the IGI. The family originated in HEF but we are not yet sure whether it was this generation that struck out into MON. I would expect the family to be found in MON in 1841 or 51 but the birthplaces may well be HEF - possibly in the Mordiford area. This one is proving a really tough nut to crack so any help on this family would be greatly appreciated by a large group of Greenly descendants who are trying to link this line to a much larger Greenly tree before uploading the whole massive undertaking onto the net. Many thanks in advance, David Matthews
