Hi all, I am researching the CURTIS family I have come across two females with the surname NARBETH who are both wives of John Plumer CURTIS. Caroline NARBETH born 1842 Pembroke Wales, baptised at St Michael's Pembroke Wales, married to John Plumer CURTIS. Caroline's father was John Harber NARBETH. I also have a Sarah NARBETH baptised St Michael's Pembroke Wales 1827. It is stated on Sarah's death certificate that she was the wife of John Plumer CURTIS, she was also deaf. My Great Grandfather was baptised John Narbeth CURTIS IN 1883. I am hoping some kind soul will look up Parish Records to find some more information on the NARBETH family and/or find a marriage to John Plumer CURTIS about the time frame of 1860 for Caroline NARBETH and 1848 for Sarah. Any information would be gratefully appreciated. Suzanne
