hiya Gwyn, am just trying to think of 'pet' names, and spelling variants to see if we can crack this nut, very inconsiderate of our rellies to be so hard to find :))) Julie :)

Thank you Jess and Julie I can't find Hannah nearby either. When I received a copy of Hannah's marriage certificate almost 4 years ago, I thought the T. VERITY witness might be a lead, - VERITY being a more unusual name for the area. .... I've been looking off and on ever since... Catherine REES signed with a cross, T.VERITY signed so I am still drawn to the 1881 group that Jess posted.

Julie Who is in the 1871 household with Hanah, the grandaughter in Mathry please? ...... really clutching straws here but Alfred's cousin, Thomas JONES (yes that's right) married a girl from Mathry, so I just wondered.....

Thank you for the 1871 household Julie. Nothing conclusive there, is there? Jim Welcome aboard! Thank you for trying to help. Your information would give Hannah yet another birth county. You see the problem I'm having! The VERITY family look more 'upper crust' and this would fit with the VERITY signature but Catherine REES and Hannah just making their mark at Hannah's marriage. I might be completely off track though. I am really grateful to you all for taking the time to help solve the puzzle of Hannah's origins. I'm tempted to hand her over to my cousin in Wales and let him search. It's his directline ancestor. I hate being beaten though.

gwyn, I know what you mean, I have several Lines on the go, and getting no-where fast with ANY of them. There is ONE good thing though, When I shuffle off, my kids will have a heck of alot to go at :)) Kids are- Dana-Elise, nearly 5 going on 55 Isaac Byron, Just turned 1 Me, Well, A tired 38yr old, (But Still ticking away) Julie :)

As today is the 120th anniversary of Hannah's marriage, I thought I'd offer her to the board again.... I now have access to Ancestry but still can't find her origins. Any thoughts? Gwyn
