I just want to say a massive thank you to both of you for all help.

I think I have established that Sarah's maiden name is Evans, born in Newland to Thomas and Anne Evans 1782. She had a sister Anne who married Thomas Howells and they were witnesses to Noah Cutters marriage to Anne Gough.

Edwin Bumford who was present in Penallt with Elmira (Mirah) is I believe Sarah's nephew. I think that her mother is Amelia Sarah's other sister who married Thomas Bumford. I found an entry for Edwin in 1861 census which describes him as dumb.

I can still find no entry for Anne Gough's death nor a marriage to Sarah but maybe Sarah and Noah just moved to Monmouth to live together and raise their 3 children.

I am still waiting for Selina's marriage cert (it is due) to confirm the maiden name of her mother

Thank you both so much again - I wouldn't have got this far without your help
