1871 - I have the Abergavenny Pen-y-Parc Parkers at the bottom of the page - still can't view the Harriet image on the next page.
P.S. I'm NOT new here despite appearances lol and I'm a volunteer for BMD.
You are magicians!

Ancestry was acting up for me when trying to view the next image, you may have to change the page number instead of clicking on the arrow to view next image.

Hustans Thomas Abergavenny 11a 50
Hustans Thomas Abergavenny 11a 56

This is actually the same image. It looks more like 11a 50 to me.


Re: how did I find Thomas Easton. I just searched for any Eastons in Abergavenny both in Ancestry & FreeBMD.

However it's still not finding Harriet.

Sorry I MUST log-off tonight, and continue in the morning. Needs thinking thru, but I guess 'Dad' died and little Thomas and Harriet livin with GP's and had to work. Curious discrepancies twixt Eustance, Estons, Easton - all illiterate I'm sure. Need to phone my Mum 'Harriet' aged 87 in the morning!
Please buy yourselves a drink on me - Iechyd Da! :)

Nigel, I know you probably won't reply until your morning but did the marriage cert give Thomas's occupation?

Thank-you ever so much - I need to get copies of these census pages and order a couple of certificates, visit some cemeteries etc. to pull this all together. Your efforts are amazing xxx.

Hi Nigel,

Will you please let us know how you get on.

Harriet and Rees (a policeman) had four children - I am from the third. We have cousins in Govilon, Abergavenny (just a couple of miles from the above events) - descended from their fourth child.
