That's quite a riddle George - is that all you have?

There is a private member's tree on Ancestry for Ester A Kedward b 1829 Radnorshire - might be worth contacting the owner (unless it it yours!)

Is Kedward her maiden name, or married name.

I can see an Esther A Kedward born 1829 Radnorshire in the 1871 Wales census, married to William Kedward, with the following children

Thomas Kedward age 16
Fredrick C Kedward age 14
Andrew Kedward age 10
Elizabeth Kedward age 5
William Kedward age 3

What appears to be the same family in 1861 - mistranscribed as Redwerd.
Not sure if Ann and Esther are the same person.

William Redwerd c 1816 Brickop, Radnorshire - Head - occupation Fireman Iron Works
Ann Redwerd c 1828 Glescombe, Radnorshire - Wife
Anthony Redwerd c 1851 Llangattock, Breconshire, Wales Son Llangattock, Breconshire

George, is this the family you are looking for?

[yanto]

thank you elaine yes it is the family they did live in llangattock many thanks

[Little Nell]

I suspect Esther A is Esther Ann and uses her middle name occasionally, since the age and birthplace match up.What you need is a marriage to find Esther's maiden name. I can't see one though.

[yanto]

[WendyPusey]

It's Esther Ann Lewis according to the 1851 census
