Help with finding Marriage Certificate

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi anyone.
I am hitting a brick wall finding a marriage certificate for David Evans and Eleanor Evans (formaly Jones). I can trace them with the census's, and from this information I have gathered that David was born c1847 in Llanstephen, Carmarthen and Eleanor was born c1848 in Aberdare, Glamorganshire. Their first child was born c1866 in Hirwain, Aberdare.
I have a Birth certificate of 1 of their children (my G Grandfather Isaac) which has Eleanor Evans as mother, which suggests to me that they were married before May 1875.
This is the first time I have posted out to the community and would be very grateful for some help or advice.
Regards
Cath
