When Mary Smith married in Glasbury, Breconshire, in April 1847, she was a spinster of full age, living in Glasbury, the daughter of Charles Smith, a potter. The groom was William Thomas.
If I have traced her correctly, according to 1851, when the family was still living in Breconshire, she was born in Shifnal, Shropshire, circa 1824. However in 1861 and 1871, her pob is shown as Blackrod, Lancashire and year of birth 1826/7. There is no doubt that all three records refer to the same person.
I now have the almost impossible task of finding Mary Smith in 1841 in almost any part of the country and quite likely not with her parents, and am in desperate need of any help than can be offered. Can someone put me out of my misery, please?
