EMMA PHILLIPS, was born 4.9.1854,Greenhill,Pwllcrochan, the daughter of JAMES PHILLIPS & ELIZABETH,formerly BRACE. I haven't found a marriage for James & Elizabeth. In 1881 they were living in Swansea & had 2 sons,James,b.1860 Pemb.Dock & William b.1862 Castlemartin. In 1851 James(snr.) was 23 & living in Bosheston. He was the son of James & Margaret Phillips. Elizabeth,b.1824, may be the daughter of THOMAS BRACE, living, in 1851 with her father(b.1791) in Rhoscrowther. There was also a Jane,b.1855 living with them. Would she have been Thomas' daughter,(b.when his wife was 54) or, perhaps Elizabeth's(illegitimate?) . Can anyone help? Heulwen

Heulwen. If she was born in 1854, try looking in the GRO marriage records for their marriage in the same year. I did that twice and found marriage just before child's birth. Could Jane be an unmarried sister living with Thomas Brace? Just a thought Good luck, Janein Ontario
