Hello Listers, I am new to this list and just beginning my research in Wales. Would sks with access to UK Ancestry mind looking in the 1861 Census for me please, to see if they can find a James & Elizabeth WATTS with at least 2 daughters - Barbara (Sarah is her middle name) and Mary A. Barbara was my great grandmother. I have been kindly given them in 1851 & 1871 and going by FreeBMD, I believe James and Elizabeth were married in 1849. Elizabeth and the 2 girls emigrated to Australia in 1876. I suspect that James may have died in 1874. Birthdates are James c1818/19; Elizabeth c1821/22/27 (I think she may have fibbed on immigrating); Mary A 1860; Barbara 1864. I believe that Elizabeth (nee WILLIAMS) was born in Woolwich, Kent; & James in Goetre, Monmouthshire in Wales. Im pretty sure the 2 girls were born in Monmouthshire too. I would be very interested to see if there were any other children; and what the occupations were in the 1861 census. Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated also. Many thanks in anticipation, Estelle (in Australia) _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: Getting married?
