Dear slowhands

Thank you very much for going to so much trouble on my behalf. You've given me a lot of new information.

i've been in touch with someone who left a message on Ancestry.co register of interests and who is related to the Gwenllian Thomas who married Benjamin Markey. She tells that their daughter Mary Ann shows up on the 1851 Wales census as Mary Ann McKay living with her maternal grandparents Jenkin Thomas and his wife Mary in Aberdare. That still leaves no trace of her in 1861 or 1871.

This seems to have taken Mary Ann away from the Forest of Dean. I'm fairly sure that it is Benjamin's Mary Ann not Charles's who is my ggrandmother because four of Benjamin's children, Emily, Jennet, Rosetta and Benjamin have the same fairly unusual Christian names as in my grandmother's family.

Once again, thank you for your help.
