MARKEY, Benjamin, born in Taynton in 1818 (General)

by maggiec, Sunday, March 16, 2008, 05:16 (6105 days ago)

Benjamin Markey was the first child of Joseph and Elizabeth Markey and was baptised in Taynton on 18 June 1818. His brother Charles was baptised in Taynton on 23 April 1820. My problem is that both brothers seem to have had a daughter named Mary Ann born about 1848 and I'm finding it very difficult to find which Mary Ann my ggrandfather John Green married.

One of the problems is that the marriage between Mary Ann Markey and John Green seems to have taken place in North America (my grandmother's eldest sister Emily was born in Pennsylvania, North America according to the 1881 census of Wales). There is no trace I can find in the UK marriage records of a marriage between a John Green and Mary Ann Markey. The 1881 Wales census states that Mary Ann was born in Blaina, Mon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
