Roger-- After remembering that the 1900 census said George and Margret had been married 34 years, I figured I must be wrong on the 1880 census, and went back to the Free BMD site and found a marriage records for George Mason in June 1866. This marriage occurred in the district of Monmouth, and the wife's name may have been Mary Trotter. Monmouth covers a lot of place names, and some of them sound Welsh: Crick, Cwmcarvan, Dingestow, Dixton Newton, Llandenny, Llandogo, Llangatock-Vibou-Avel, Llangoven, Llanishen, Llantillio Crossenny, Llanvihangel-ystern-Llewern, Mitchel Troy, Monmouth, Park Grace-Dieu, Penalt, Penrose, Pen-y-Clawdd, Ragland, Rockfield, St. Manghans, Skenfreth, Tregare, Trelleck, Welsh Bicknor (1837-44), Wonastow. Since Margret was from Wales (1900 census), this entry appears to fit fairly well. Best wishes, Tim
