So John Senior, age unknown, married in 1834 to Margaret aged 30.
Fathered John Jarrett 1837, Tom Walter 1835 and apparently Alfred 1839 ?
However when John Jarrett died in 1851 Margaret was a widow.

Could this be John Senior's burial record ?

Died 1843 aged 67 so born abt 1777, so married Margaret when 57 ?. Possible.

According to 1881 Census Grandaughter Blanche Rees born abt 1873;

BUT why Monmouth & why parents Charles & Annie if Margaret's grandaughter ?
Presumably another Blanche Rees was also born abt 1873 ?.

This Blanche seems far more likely, Alfred("gentleman")Rees' daughter, in Clearwell.
Born abt 1875 so as per 1881 Census record.
