You've marked the thread as answered but are still asking questions, no-one else is looking in to help. Try altering your heading adding along the lines of - more help needed please. it's a quirk of the site - marks the whole thing as answered, not just one particular part and can;t be undone. IF you've decided the right family has been found - (check on ancestry tree after finding these records indicate I'm on the right track) ??? Working backwards got me to this marriage (one male name missing), will post in order going forward. You need the marriage certificate for Father's name to confirm correct Margaret Surname First name(s) District Vol Page Marriages Dec 1890 (>99%) Bevan Margaret Pontypridd 11a 950 Davies William Pontypridd 11a 950 Evans Catherine Pontypridd 11a 950 ------------------------------- 1891 - at the same address but different households - the newly married Margaret Jane and listed as visiting the other household her sister Elizabeth Ann (transcribed as Bearon rather than Beavan/Bevan).
