Ooops. Looks like the family in Monmouth are called Stead. Looked like Head to me. So no connection there.

Ok Does this marriage fit in anywhere? Dec 1865 Price Sarah Protheroe William Crickhowell 11b 283 or just a coincidence?

Stop it Patricia!!!! I'm certain the birth cert for Ada was for an unmarried couple because the birth reg is indexed under Protheroe and under Head. But it is a mightly co-incidence. Where is Crickhowell? Is it Brecon? Maybe the Herefordshire registrars specialised in asking the wrong questions and getting the wrong answers? Maybe

Hi sorry for not getting back to you until now, Adas birth cert says ada jane protheroe, i thought the p might have stood for price. this family is driving me up the wall lol i did wonder if sarah made the fathers name up as i couldnt find a william in the redditch area, and because its only got redditch on it and no address im wondering if she was hiding something as i cant find a marriage for a sarah price i wondered if she married a head then married alfred meredith and was a bigamist, still doesnt explain william protheroe. merry im going to send for sarah merediths 2nd marriage to archer exton i sent for it before but MIL told me sarahs maiden name was griffiths so GRO sent my cheque back as i had given wrong name, now i have the right name of price i will send off and see what her fathers name was.
