	Right I've just checked out that school record and it's definitely the correct family as her brother John is further down the page. The address is also correct for the 1881 census for the family.

	Martha Last name Adams Age Full Year 1870 Event Marriage Marriage year 1870 Marriage date 09 Aug 1870 Residence - Father's first name(s) James Father's last name Adams Place Walton East County Pembrokeshire Country Wales Spouse's first name(s) Dan Spouse's last name Harries Spouse's age Full Spouse's residence - Spouse's father's first name(s) Owen Spouse's father's last name Harries Record set Pembrokeshire Marriages And Banns Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Subcategory Parish Marriages Collections from Wales, Great Britain Welsh Archive Services / Gwasanaethau Archifau Cymru It is always possible that her birth wasn't registered as I believe there was no penalty for failure to register prior to 1875.

	rootgatherer -That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well about her birth. Still can't find her in 1901 :-( Sylvia I don't think that's her but I'll keep it in mind
