Dewi, No MOLINE(A)UX marriages in this area of Cardiganshire 1813-37. Perhaps someone with access to the rest of the Dyfed Marriages might check the other counties (such as Carmarthen, for instance). From the birth year of 1766 you provided for Mary, I highly doubt she would've had a son in 1827 (Mary age 61), let alone a daughter in 1839 (Mary age 73). Strange, also, that Mary was 30 years older than her husband. Can there be some mistake in the dates you provided? If the couple died in Aberystwyth in 1866 & 1877, they may be buried at St. Michael's, Aberystwyth, or at Llanbadarn Fawr Parish Church. I would expect they'll be buried at the same place their children were baptised. You should locate the family in the 1841, 1851 & 1861 Census returns to find their birthplaces. I would also suggest you look for a will for either/both of them. The IGI also shows additional children for this couple: Another Mary, christened 8 Nov. 1829. Phoebe, chr. 5 Feb. 1832 Ann, chr. 16 Feb. 1834 Amelia Martha, chr. 10 Jan. 1836 Eliza Shelby, chr. 7 Dec. 1841 James Caldwell, chr. 22 Mar. 1843 (perhaps a clue to Mary's maiden name?) Thomas, chr. 8 Jan. 1846 Using the IGI as a tool, only, there seems to have been some concentration of the surname in Llanedi, Carmarthenshire, as well as in Flintshire, in the early 1700's. I believe the census returns are your best route. The LDS have microfilmed these and you can order them from the nearest LDS FHC.
