John's first wife died in Whitehaven Cumberland in1846 leaving him with two children Jane b1839 and William b1836. John married Ann George in Pembroke in 1849 and at that time she was living in St. Dogmells. John was shipwrecked and died in 1853 and Ann married again in 1855. She was still living in St. Dogmells according to her second marriage certificate. I would very much appreciate a look up of the 1851 census to see if Ann Gillead is in the Cardigan/St.Dogmells area with John, and possibly Jane and William. Thanks for any help or guidance given. Best wishes, Brenda USA Dear Brenda, Do you have the certificate for John & Ann's marriage? You say it took place in Pembroke - but it is in the St Dogmaels(Dogmells) register for 19 August 1849 (Pembrokeshire but definitely not Pembroke Town). Ann's second marriage was also at St Dogmaels in 1855, as I think you know. John's admon in 1853 shows him to have been resident in St Dogmaels. There are no other Gil(l)ead references in the St Dogmaels parish registers, so presumably Ann was nonconformist. Regards Bill G-J with a particular interest in St Dogmaels and surrounding parishes
