Please can you help. Im trying to find out about my great great great Grandfather Ebenezer Protheroe.

All I know is He married Phoebe Lewis in 1865 in Swansea and I think he had 3 children Cathrine 1867, James 1868, Eleazer 1869.

I would really like to know when he was born, when he died, and who his parents were.

Thank you

Esther

If you apply for the marriage certificate it will have his Father's name on it.
That way, we will not be guessing.

that looks right because Phoebe was from Pembrokshire.
