Good evening, Thanks to the advice of Rhian I have sent for the marriage certificate for David Pritchard and Ann Philpots June qtr 1842 Crickhowell. As soon as I had sent for it I wondered if Ann ,on marrying David,would have done so under her maiden name or the name of her first husband? If it's the latter,I would still need her maiden name ,as it's her line I am chasing. Can anyone help me, please? In the 1851 census her age is given as 42 and born in "Vernog" (my interpretation) but transcribed as "Kernog". Can anyone find her birth or baptism, or possible first marriage? Thank you Roy
Hi Roy & all I wonder if Ann's maiden name was Williams. I looked up Anne Philpotts in 1841 & found her with her son John, 2, in the household of a William Williams in Clydach/Llanelly. No Mary with them Mary Philpotts aged 4 is to be found in the household of a John Williams, in Ewyas Harold (Herefordshire). Looks to me as though she turned to her brothers to help her out - only a guess, but based on a bit of detective work! You may be lucky & on the marriage certificate it may say Ann Philpotts (formerly .............)
