Pryce was born to William and Anne Morris in 1840 April 11th.
I have him on the 1851 census but can,t follow his movements thereafter or indeed find a record of his marriage to Anne Rees.The 1871 census shows him married with two children and living at PENMAENPOOL merionethshire.
(ANNE came from Shropshire)

It is the 1861 census with Pryce on that I am looking for.
The death record of Anne looks possible thanks.

I have the death of Anne also the second marriage of Pryce to Elizabeth, but his marriage to Anne remains an enigma.
They had three children.
John Price (no certificate in the Merionethshire district.There was a baptism at Barmouth.3/11/1866
Mary Anne 20/6/1870 I have birth certificate.
William Martin5/6/1872 I have certificate.
Both certificates from Dolgelley.
Parents on these three are Pryce and Anne(nee Rees)
INo marriage on freeBDM
Is it possible that they didn,t actually marry?
On Pryces second marriage he is a widower which in essence he was.
I,m hoping to speak with the registrar in the Welshpool office to see if they can shed any light on the matter.Pryce should have registered the birth of John Price somewhere.
