Louisa Jellamy 1823 - (General)
I think others have been down this trail before me but a long time ago. I contacted someone on Ancestry who had been in contact with someone in Australia about 20 years ago. She referred me to your website.
I am looking for Louisa Jellamy. The only record I can find of her is her marriage to John Pugh (Pew) in Newland in 1844 when they were living in Lydbrook.
The 1861 census does show the Pugh family living in Merthyr Tydfil. Her birthplace is recorded as Monmouthshire.
I eventually found them in the 1871 census, still in Merthyr Tydfil, but strangely the whole family had the surname of Griffiths.
The final reference I have to her is the marriage of her son, Richard Pugh, in New South Wales in 1886. The record shows his father's name as John Pugh and his mother's name as Louisa Hatton or Hutton.
I have been unable to trace her birth or her marriage to Hatton/Hutton.
Can anyone help me track Louisa down? Does anyone remember the previous search about 20 years ago?
Thank you.

Trying to find them on the 1851 census, (can see the 1861 census) - they obviously were around Merthyr Tydfil in 1847
Using the GRO INDEX
PUGH, Catherine - mother's maiden surname: JELLAMY
GRO Reference: 1847 M Quarter in Merthyr Tydfil Volume 26 Page 433
PUGH, William James 1849 J Quarter Merthyr Tydfil Volume 26 Pages 489 (mother's maiden name: JELLAMY)

The 1861 Census refers to an earlier child, Louisa, born in 1845,although I haven't been able to find her birth on GRO.
I have found another Pugh with the mother's maiden name of Jellamy - Mary Ann born in Abergavenny in 1843 (Volume 26, page 48).
I haven't managed to find them in 1851, although it took me a long time to find them in 1871, especially as their surname was different.

There are other JELLAMY's on the above website - it would seem they were possible a Methodist family.

Hi
I think it might have been me who directed you to this and to the MonGenes site. Having tidied up my files I found that I'd made notes and had found a family which I thought could be Louisa's - Richard Jellamy (sometimes Jeremy) and hsi wife Mary nee Roberts. I also found a note on the 1841 census with a Louiza Jerremy aged 15 (so could be anywhere between 15 and 19) living in Garn Vach Nantyglo Ironworks which I thought was a 99% chance of being her. Having said that I couldn't find a baptism for her.
Happy hunting!
Jane
