Gloria.....If you can find an Evan...farm Lab. in the area on the 1861 Census then Leah (or ? another name ) should be living with her parents...Census was March/April '61 and she didnt marry until after Census if I am correct.

Oh thank you yes corrinne I am looking for Edward.
Von I'm 99% thats her in 1861 I'm so excited you are so clever I have been looking for about 2 yrs.

thank you thank you ha ha.
that is where she was at time of marriage, so to find her on earlier census and to try and find a birth cert, do I look for lea David?

Corrinne I don't think thats them they were from Llanaran not Monmouthshire.

thanks.

thank you Corrinne that looks like him I have looked at this before.

thank you so much for all this help to you both much appreciated

Gloria
You're welcome. Lets hope it's her.
Both my great grannies were Mary Davies, my great,great grannie was Rachel David but death registration was for Davies so I know how difficult it can be.
Fingers crossed
Von

I think I'll send for the Birth certificate I have found for Leah David 1841 sep if it comes back, and her father is Evan and is Agricultural Laborer it must be her.
now to try and find her in 1851 census.

Gloria
If you put father Evan as a checking point then if it's not the correct one you will only be charged £3.
Alternatively if you write to Cardiff giving name of father and enclose cheque if they can't find it they won't charge.
I usually phone the local office first and they will tell you what to do.
I have always found them helpful

I'm so grateful thank you both lets hope I'm on the right road will let you know thanks again for your tips.

Gloria ..I have checked through the 1881 Census Glam. for Evan David..and there are quite a few....the oldest being 82 yrs...Ag.Lab....
However I found a Wm David 59yrs Farmer with family and he has a son Evan ( dont they all) but also a daughter named Gwenlilian...same name as Leah and Edwards daughter...couldnt find another Gwenlilian in any other Davies family...wonder if he is related in any way...Unfortunately I am not familiar with Welsh places names so cannot judge if that is close to the area you are looking ?Llanwyno

Ref...as per 1881 Census..was Llanharen
