To find the possibility of Elizabeth remarrying i`d first look at all the David Owen deaths after 1864 in the Mountain Ash reg district..Is that Aberdare? i don`t know.

then you`d need to look at all the the Elizabeth Owen marriages, { To a Davies if thats the name you think is most likely} and see if you can match them to a partner and try and elimainate them one by one in the census`s, using birthplace and age, and maybe having a child Elizabeth with her born c 1864..

It will be a bit of a needle in a haystack job, but if it did all take place in the Mountain Ash area you may get lucky...

As Madmeg says it may be an awful lot of work with no results.

Record your findings so you don`t keep going back over the same people..

good luck

Wondering about this family....???Large age gap between 8 year old child and baby,sometimes points to a 2nd marriage, however I can`t see a marriage for a Philip Davies to an Elizabeth Owen, but can see a one for John Davies in that area...

May be a complete red herring but may be worth tracking this couple to see if there is any link..
