Cas I had the 1861 entry for Mary and her Evans daughter - someone told a porkie! But I'm glad you think the same. But that marriage looks spot on - will add to my list when I have funds to get it. Thank you sooooo much! nell |

Fantastic! Cas found a likely marriage between Jenkin Evan and Mary MANDERY - as I was typing up the info I had a flash of insight! Jenkin and Mary's son John had a child called Jenkin. This Jenkin had a son called Edward MANDRY Evans, who was my husband's grandfather. We always wondered about his middle name! nell |

Hi Nell...glad to help. Check out this link for distance relation to Parishes. replace * http://www*genuki*org*uk/cgi-bin/places?GLA,SS920690,5,Marcross These are the Mandry marriages up to 1837. I think there is a strong possibility that Edward/Mary are Mary's parents. St Brides Major is about 3 miles from Monknash, check link. GROOM SURNAME GROOM FIRST NAME/S GROOM PARISH BRIDE SURNAME BRIDE FIRST NAME/S BRIDE PARISH DATE YEAR PARISH OF MARRIAGE MANDREY EVAN COWBRIDGE MEREDITH MARGARET COWBRIDGE 17FEB 1807 COWBRIDGE(PL) MANDREY JOHN LLANGYFELACH JOHN ALICE LLANGYFELACH 11NOV 1821 LANGFELCH(WB) **MANDRY EDWARD ST BRIDE MAJ THOMAS MARY ST BRIDE MAJ 1FEB 1804 ST BRIDE MJ(PB) MANDRY NOAH MARGAM EDMOND MARY MARGAM 4DEC 1824 MARGAM(P) Just realised she was born out of county...sorry getting confused with different look up on here and Roots - you may find the info useful anyway! There is also an Edward Mandry on the 1841 in St Brides that is a probable brother to Mary. - Just checked this wrong place St Brides Major - sorry You are having a good day ..who said Welsh ancestry was difficult lol Cas |

Cas Gosh, thanks again. Yes, Welsh ancestry can be easy - apart from the blinking William Jones, who changes birth county between censuses! nell |
