Sheri I am pleased that this information fits the information I sent you. See also http://freebmd.rootsweb.com There is a possible marriage for Bezaleel THOMAS to Mary Ann RICHARDS in June Quarter 1852 Cardiff Vol. 11a Page 404. You can get confirmation that this marriage exists before you send for a certificate from http://home.clara.net/tirbach/GLA3.html#1837-1900%20Marriages%20in%20Glamorgan. I didn't send it before because I thought it was too distant but now may be worth an enquiry.
