This happy couple, both aged 24 got married on 5 Feb 1871 at the Baptist Old Blaina Chapel, Bedwelty Monmouthshire, both unable to write their names. They then seem to disappear - no census records or deaths that I can find. If I look to see if they emmigrated I get 75 references on passenger lists all starting from 1891 onwards for which I would be charged £5.94 to look at each!
He was a "puddler" as was his father in the iron foundry business.
How can I find what happened to them, does anyone have ideas?
