    Default Ann Bevan born 1853 Llangunidar

    I have been trying to tie this womens parents down for 3 years.
    I have a marriage certificate for june 1876 which states age 23 , place of birth Llangunidar, fathers name John (deceased).
    An old family bible has an entry for Ann giving date of birth dec 16 1853
    She married a george williams and they lived in Ewyas Harold Herefordshire, where she had 12 children.
    If anyone can prove Ann 's parentage I would be grateful, espicially if they can tie John to a brother Hugh.

    Regards Brian

    Perhaps you shouldn't be giving too much credence to the family bible and could consider other possibilities such as...

    Births Dec 1852 Bevan Ann Crickhowell 11b 117

    which is at least more consistent with the age given on the marriage certificate.

    Thanks - it is possible the family mis calculated when filling in the bible. If the birth entry you give is correct it will match the marriage certificate.
    Do you know where they keep records for that area ?

    The reference I quoted is for ordering from GRO.
