There is a marriage of Thomas BOSLEY in December quarter 1860 in Merthyr Tydfil ( GRO ref 11a 500) and one of the other parties on the page is Ann HARRIS. She might have been a widow with maiden name LEWIS. There is a possible marriage in March quarter 1857 in Merthyr Tydfil (GRO ref 11a 441) of Ann LEWIS and David HARRIS , though that may just be a coincidence of names. There are a number of other cases in Merthyr registration district of possible marriages of Ann or Anne LEWIS and a male HARRIS, in 1856, 1852 and 1846. This from www.freebmd.org.uk , probably the best free search engine for registrations of births marriages and deaths in England and Wales from 1837 to the mid-20th century.

Hi List On the 1861 Census for Merthyr William Jones is living at 10 Penry/Pendry Street with his parents, David Jones & mother Hannah. I'm trying to decipher the occupation for William. On his Marriage Certificate his profession is listed as 'Musician' but on the 1861 Census, only a few months before his marriage, I cannot read what is stated as his profession/occupation but it's certainly not musician. Hope some clever person can understand it. Also, does anyone know if a beer house or an Inn of some kind was at that address as his father is listed as a Publican. Hope someone can help. Cheers Marcelle Western Australia

When Ancestry lets you down, try familysearch.org. I don't know if it still is the case but it used to be Ancestry wouldn't search out of Wales if you put a county in the born: Glamorgan Wales, if you only search with Wales Ancestry will look everywhere.

This is where the author of the book descended from who supplied me with invaluable family information. Paul Demund Evans' grandfather, Jenkin Evans, was born in 1830 near Cilcennin, Cardiganshire, Wales, son of John Evans, a farmer, and Elizabeth Davies. In 1849 Jenkin married Gwenllian (aka Winifred) Rees, the daughter of Evan Rees and Anne Davies. She was born near Llanarth, Cardiganshire, Wales in 1825.
