Hi Everyone

I've had a long term brickwall with my gg grandfathers sister Mary JAMES who married William HURDITCH in 1854 at St Lathans Church, Cardiff, Wales.

Mary died Sep 1874, date unknown and her newborn baby Hannah died 1 Sep 1874 so possibly same date. I've found death registrations for both Mary and Hannah in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales. I also found a probate for Hannah which was granted in Somerset on 9 Feb 1875 to her father "William HURDITCH of the Parish of Winscombe" The probate says Hannah was "late of the Parish of Chew Magna in the county of Somerset". Have been unable to find a probate for Mary. William died 4 Apr 1898, death registered in Pontypridd under HURDIDGE. He was born and raised in Wrington, Somerset.

I also can't find any of the family in the 1871 census for Wales or England.....probably due to transcription errors plus the family changing spelling of surname (Hurdidge, Harditch, Hardage, Hardwick, Hurditch)

PLEASE can anyone help me solve this, really appreciate your help .

Kind Regards
