Ann Howell Aberstruth Monmouthshire.

Hi again Palma, I think this is the Marriage of Ann Howells and David Evans.

Go stand in the corner, Robert.
We're looking for a David Evans, not a John (John is the son's name).
Plus those names only mean that they are on the same page(s) in the marriage register. There is no proof that they married each other.
The couples on that page number were John Evans and Mary Richards, David James and Ann Howells, David Harries and Sarah Prosser, Samuel Jones and Hannah Holmes, who were all married in Bedwelty. PR images on FMP.

Llanelly is near Abergavenny. Llanelli is in Carmarthenshire (just a few miles from where I live)

Robert, and Pam Downes is right,but only on the spelling Aberstruth or Aberystruth is the same place, in Monmouthshire.

Think that's another one which might be wishful thinking. See post #11 for reason why.
Unfortunately I can't find those marriage in the CofE registers on FMP, so presumably they took place in either a non-confirmist church or the Register Office, and Palma would have to take a chance on ordering a certificate in one of the names.

However, you do get brownie points for knowing that Aberstruth and Aberystruth are the same place, so you can come out of the corner.

I was going to say that I'm no expert on Wales, but we have a couple of people who are (thinking of Megan) - and then Megan sort-of let me down.
It's true there is no Aberstruth, but there is an Aberystruth.

I plead guilty Pam - I was rushing my answer this morning as I was rushing out the door, and now as they say more haste less speed, and I can repent in leisure!

Yeah, it's fatal to do things when you're going out. You either make a mistake or else try to be thorough and end up making yourself late!
It seems from Robert's post #10 that Aberstruth does exist, as it's another name for Aberystruth.
Though when you get Llanelli and Llanelly coming in as well, I think I'm going back to my nice English counties. I'll leave Wales to its experts.

Married 1867 age 23 Glamorgan Catherine Davies All point to Llanelly Brecon as Birth place.more interested in finding David and Ann Howell Marriage so can get a certificate for fathers name to help in my search .Wales is so difficult with all the different counties and parish. I have been at this roadblock for years and I am learning enough to know there are two Llanelly and ne is now Llanelli.tks for your help appreciate the time you have given me.Palma

Hi Palma, the work house I mentioned is in Brecknockshire, so is Brecon, I will try to find out how far apart they are.

Robert.
