Searching for Mary David b. 1821 living Swansea. Have twins Elizabeth and William b. 1841. Hoping for husband and birthplace to connect to family.
Husband a Miner but not with Mary on 1841 Census. Many thanks

Please post 1841 for reference.............too many of the name and birth year to determine which one is the one you're researching

Unusual to have 2 sets of twins with the same name!

Original posting states looking for 1851 census, not 1841 and that husband is not present in 1841, so not sure if that one is the correct one?

Mary's birth could have been any year from 1817 to 1821

How does she fit with your family?

How did you get back to her?

The 1841 I posted is accurate

Sylvia doesn't know the husband's name.........that's what she wants to know

Hi, Went to Library and obtained original copy of 1841 Census. It says Mary is Miner's wife age 20 and Elizabeth and William 2months twins. Born in County. Living Neath. "n" for Mary born in County so suspect born Carmarthenshire but not sure.
Most of the David family came from Llanelly, family I am researching. Trying to unravel family, grateful for help.
Index says Mary David age 30 Swansea.

Elizabeth and William - children of Thomas and Anne David are 7 and 2 respectively according to original Census.
Thomas and Anne are connected to me, so trying to find out who Mary is and who she married. Thanks again, grateful for any help.
