Brickwall! Any chance of a lookup?

[johnhuk]

Hello all,

My 3rd G-Grandmother Martha John, married James Adams around 1855.

I've traced her father and mother William John and Rebecca, but unable to find the marriage to find out her maiden name. He was born 1786 and she was born in 1802.

I am unsure of his birthplace but in 1841 he resided in St. Ishmael. Rebecca was born in Haverfordwest.


Also one other similar situation, Lewis Adams born, Milford 1795, married an Elizabeth also born in Milford in 1793.

If there is anyone who could help I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

In Dec quarter 1841 Rebecca Griffiths and William John (potentially) married in Haverfordwest VOL 26 Page 875.

Hope this is some help to start with.

in 1845 Rebecca Richards (potentially) married William John in Pembroke VOL 26 page 803.

Just noticed that its probably going to be in parish records.

William and Rebecca's first child was born in 1825 when she was about 23!

Sorry for wasting your time!

[maltonboy]

Thanks Owen, it has to be the first one as St. Ishmaels I just found out is her birthplace.

Thanks again,

John
