I am trying to find the first marriage of
Rosa Jane Bailey.b. Bucknell Shropshire 1860, she has a daughter Elsie Evett born 1890 Bucknell Shropshire.
By 1908 She marries Pryce Morris in Knighton Radnorshire, (Pryce's birthplace) and is calling herself Rosa Jane Evett
I cannot find a marriage for Rosa to an Evett

Hello Cathrine, it makes me wonder if that is her because there is a Rosa Jane Baily born in Knighton in 1859.
Maybe the info on the 1911 census that says she was born in Bucknell is incorrect.
I will look for the birth in Bucknell.
Thankyou so much for your help

Thank you Catherine that, makes more sense, she got through husbands quickly, she was only married to Pryce for 12 years.

Rosa died in 1943. 21 years after Pryce.
It looks like little Hilda Letty died the same year she was born 1893.
