Hi
i wonder if anyone can help me with my Harries family as I seem to be going round in circles.
I have an Elizabeth Harries born c 1872 who in 1881 is living with her grandmother in Ambleston Pembrokeshire.
RG11 Piece 5423 Folio 68 Page 4

I can't seem to find a birth for Elizabeth or to find her after 1891.

I have all the information on Margaret her grandmother.

This appears to be her. The last school she attended was Gwastad and she left this school on 11th Mar 1881.

I have a possible entry for a school in Llys-y - Fran in 1877
Not sure if this is the same school?

Yes I'm sure that's her. It's after that she disappears. I cannot find a birth record for her even on GRO

Again for our info.

Llys y Fran is a small village and parish in the community of New Moat on the southern slopes of the Preseli Mountains in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The parish includes the small settlement of Gwastad.

That's my problem. I had attached her to Dan Harries and Martha Adams but her birth and death elude me!!

Right I've just checked out that school record and it's definitely the correct family as her brother John is further down the page.
The address is also correct for the 1881 census for the family.

It is always possible that her birth wasn't registered as I believe there was no penalty for failure to register prior to 1875.

Her sister Margaret is registered in jun quarter1873.

rootgatherer -That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well about her birth.

Still can't find her in 1901 :-(

Sylvia I don't think that's her but I'll keep it in mind
