No age for Mary or Joseph but I believe Mary was 35 and Joseph a widower was about 45. Mary's first husband was Morgan Morgans their first child was born in 1829, so I presume they married about that time although I haven't been able to find their marriage. I'm sorry I seem to be wasting your time.Margaret

What are the ages of Mary and Joseph and Joseph's occupation? This might give an idea of when she married first time - if after 1841, then there might be a chance to find her with her father. It should be Mary's address that is Pen y Darren and it should give her father's name, occupation and whether deceased, but whether or not they are together at the time of the marriage or even in the same area in 1841/51. You might well be looking for that proverbial needle....

Stuart,
Mary Morgans , widow, married Joseph Jenkins March 23 1846 Parish Church Merthyr. Living in Pen y Darren. Father Richard Edwards Collier. maybe he wasn't with Mary, and I have it wrong? Is this what you wanted. Margaret
