However she must have known who the father was to call her Richards. We've ordered the birth cert but are awaiting its arrival. Now of course Susannah seems to have a sister named Sarah Ellen, it just keeps getting more confusing for us too! Maybe Charlotte Jones married a man named Richards before Edward Davies, but we can't find a marriage. Once she married Edward Davies they had 4 daughters & we can account for 3 of them as one was my grandmother. And my understanding from my mother was that the 4th & oldest one Mary E, who she called Ella, married an American named Colin Campbell & lived in the US. I have this photo with who I thought were the 4 sisters standing on the front row when Ella & C! olin came to Brymbo for a visit sometime in the 1930's. Llewelyn Davies was unlikely to have been related to Edward Davies. On the 1871 Wales census Susannah Richards is down as step daughter aged 4 & b in Brymbo. Hope this clears up some of the confusion for you?? Thanks very much for Mary's marr info. Rosalyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
