Hi Gwyn

Why don't you send for a copy of the marriage of Theophilus Harries and
Catharine Reynolds, as perhaps the witnesses may hold a clue......his
occupation was given as ropemaker as you know.

When did Theophilus and Catharine move to Pwllheli, as you stated the
children were baptised there in 1834........could Theo be in pigots
directories - have you looked there?

Did David Cooke have any extra information for you, has he finished looking
etc??

Pauline
