Thread: Marriage ref: David Thomas

Looking for a marriage ref. for David Thomas b 1836, Llangeinor, Bridgend. Wife's name is Miriam b 1839 Bettws, Bridgend. First two children were b Bettws 1866/68 so would assume marriage was in Bridgend area. Looked through so many David Thomas's but can't find a single one married to a Miriam. Would be glad of some help! Sharon.

Hi Sharon, I've found two, what do you think?



1. David Thomas........on same page Miriam Price, vol11a page 463.

Merthyr Tydfil, Jun qrt 1861.



2. David Thomas........on same page Miriam Edwards, vol 11a page 401.

Cardiff, Dec qrt 1867.



*Merthyr was the reg. district for Bridgend

That's brilliant-I didn't realise Merthyr was classed as Bridgend-I only checked the actual Bridgend refs. Would assume the first one is the most likely.Thank you, Sharon

Hi Sharon, after further looking I don't think the above info is correct. Merthyr wasn't the reg district for Bridgend, sorry for the confusion. The ref I found on freebmd is a little ambiguous, take a look and you'll see what I mean, on the record for David Thomas, Merthyr Tydfil is written in italics which CAN mean a mistake has been made when transcribed. The reg. vol 11a, is however the same as for Bridgend.

Thanks Slizzy,I'll have another dig and see what I come up with.
