Unknown Welsh woman!

[Nell]

Ex's gt gt grandmother Rachel Phillips says she was born Swansea or Morriston on censuses, about 1830. I haven't been able to find her before her marriage. On her marriage cert 1854 she names her father as Thomas Phillips, an ostler. She married in Aberdare, Glamorgan.

I've not been able to find a man I can definitely say is Thomas either.

Is she the same person as this one from TO2G, Nell?

Are we looking for her mother now?

On the Thomas Phillips thread I found a possible family (with Thomas's wife being called Mary), I'll see if I can find any more about them:

Yes, that's Rachel. I love the way you are always there when I have no info, to help point the way!

this unknown Welshwoman ISN'T in my tree - and the lady who is, Ann Massingham, is one I know a lot about!!!

I've noted Thos & Mary but I think as with a lot of ex's Welsh side I really need those Glamorgan parish records on familysearch asap!!!

Oooh, I forgot to go to the old threads when I was looking at this yesterday, but that Thomas and Mary family was the one I came up with and I too spent an age looking at the census trying to decide if it did say hostler (or hosler, which is good enough!) . So, do you think the next person with an occ on the 1841 census page says collier (forget who now - one of Thomas's sons), because the dodgy bits of hosler like the O not looking like an O and the R at the end looking more like an N appear in that word too.

When Thomas was listed as a quarryman, he might have been looking after the horses at the quarry, but not mentioned that.

I realie none of this helps a great deal! lol
