You have to be so carefull with names like Pugh and Davies as there are so many of them all born about the same time.

Get her marriage cert first then we can go from there knowing her fathers name and his.

I do not have her marriage certificate yet. I wil phone llandrindod tomorrow, they are very helpful. I was hoping to be able to ask for her birth certificate as well but will leave that for now .
Many thanks to all.
It was her first marrige but she was widowed quite young and remarried,

Here is their marriage and I suggest you buy the cert which will tell you who their fathers were and their occupations.

It also looks as though it could have been a second marriage for John as he is a lot older than Maragret.

Well she's pretty consistant with the place of birth so let's hope it is all the same person? I hope so....

Edit: Except for the 1861 of course!

Margaret Jehu is the mother to the head of the household Mary so will be the grandmother of the children. Can't find her in any other census yet?

On that one I put up Margaret Jehu is down as mother 54 Charwoman born 1807 Unmarried.

Mary is married but her hubby is not on that census and she is down as a Labourers wife.

Someone put the 1861 up but the year of birth was wrong, she was 37 in the original image so not the right Margaret... Aaah but it wasn't the same one as Mel put up. She was born in Llanwddyn but they must have removed it when they realised it was a mistranscription.

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 23 Jan 2011 10:35

I shall have a look at the other census.

On the 1861 the Margaret Jehu is her mother but it could read Johns or maybe misheard Jones? Perhaps her mother married again or perhaps she was base born.
