Bill. You have confirmed what I am thinking & I will get certificates.
I have also found a JH who died ,right age, in Pontypridd in 1895 so
think I will get that too. I will try & get that 1851 JH in St D's look
up done as well. Thanks a million. PIP

Dear Pip,

Thanks for the 1891 info. I have looked for any likely John Harries in
my
St Dogmaels data, but nothing fits.
No baptisms of JH, but then most of the inhabitants were nonconformist
anyway.
One marriage of JH, 22, mariner, otp, father David H, by licence to
Martha
Jones

Ebenezer Parry appears but he is a mariner anyway.


Thinking aloud,
why should this JH give St D in 1891 when he gave Nevern in 1881?
-maybe his wife filled in the form & got it wrong
could there be a John Harries (not yours) in St Dogmaels in 1851?
- I don't have 1851 tho' I have 1841. If there is not a JH in
1851,
then you are on very solid ground.

can JH be traced thro' victuallers' licences or commercial directories
to see
whether he left Gelli Hotel at the time he appeared at Woodfield Hotel?
- not so easily from Oz

might there be a reference to your JH in the Blaenwaun Baptist Chapel
records?
- at NLW. There are births of children of members recorded,
certainly
1807-1816, and I expect they continued

is it worth getting the marriage cert for JH=Mary to check on his
father?
- wld probably need to get Wm Eb's birth cert for Mary's maiden name

first, and that second name Eb is a pointer anyway

Circumstantial evidence is definitely on your side - how certain do you
wish
to be?

I think I would look for JH in St D in 1851, and treat a blank as proof
-
someone on the list should be able to do that for you.

Hope this is of use

Regards
Bill
