Hi
I have a Sarah Harries born in Pembrokeshire c 1812.
She marries Daniel Richards in 1839 in Morvil Pembrokeshire. The marriage is on FMP

In 1841 Sarah and Daniel are living next door to her parents in Morvil in a property called Greenway.
In 1851 and 1861 they are still living in Morvil but I cannot find them after the 1861 census.
I have a possible sighting for Sarah in 1871 in Llantrisant ,Glamorganshire but no sign of Daniel.
Any help gratefully received.

I have looked for deaths but nothing of the correct age for either.

Daniel came from Morvil as well

The death in 1857 can't be him as he is on the 1861 census.

The problem is with later deaths where are they in the 1871 or 1881 census. :-S

Have you looked for a Will for Daniel Richards?

If he was a farmer perhaps he owned the land.


1871
Have you ruled out this Daniel, who was also a farmer?
I know the age doesn't tally with 1861, but could he be a possibility?

Hi Choccy
Thank you for that. I will check it out later.
Sounds like a distinct possibility.

Sadly the burials for Morvil are not on line yet to look for Sarah's death.

Von Report 25 Sep 2018 11:43

Thank you Choccy
I've checked out the marriage and yes it all links in with previous information.

I think that Sarah's death is in Dec quarter of 1866. The death is registered in Cardigan which isn't the district that I would expect but maybe she didn't die at home. I'll order the PDF just to be sure.

Thank you everyone for all your help. Much appreciated.
