Memorial inscription

[Margaret in Burton]

Marriage cert should give you the name of his father. Do you have that?

[Margaret in Burton]

Can't see a death in the 1880's. Are you sure he died then or is it because you can't find him in 1891?

[Morf]

Hi Margaret, yes, you're right, I should get the marriage cert.
His wife appears in the 1891 census as a widow.

[Margaret in Burton]

I wonder where his death is then. I'll take another look, possibly mistranscribed.

I did look at Prewitt as well as Prewett.

[Margaret in Burton]

Mmmm, There is a Thomas Merritt aged 50
Pontypool, Dec qtr 1880
11a 93


I struggled to find a marriage of a William Barks once and it was indexed under Parks.

Morf

Can you post the census ref for 1891 for Elizabeth please?

[Morf]

RG12; Piece: 4363; Folio 116; Page 24
They were wrongly transcribed as Pleurtt.

[Margaret in Burton]

Try as I might I can't find his death for certain. Can't find them in 1861 either. I've checked Ancestry and FMP.

[Morf]

I know, I've searched all possible spellings, but have never found them either.
Haven't been able to find them in 1841 and Elizabeth in 1851 either, they're very good at hiding. lol

[Morf]

Just found out Thomas' father was John Prewett.

[Margaret in Burton]

Just found out Thomas' father was John Prewett.

How did you find that Morf?

[Morf]

I found them on the Monmouthshire Parish Records.
Something tells me I must have found them there before now, as I have the exact marriage date, but can't remember finding them in the past.
