Richard Davies Birth: 1823 41 17 — Bodringallt, Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan, Wales Death: 16 August 1888 — Wild Mill Farm, Coity, Glamorgan, Wales |
| Christening | Born at Bodringallt; father's occupation: farmer. |
| Residence | The 1841 census records William, aged 15, at Candleston Farm, with parents Richard and Gwenllian, and his five brothers, Richard, Jenkin, George, Rees and David |
| Residence | Aged 24, still single and living with brothers and widowed mother at Candleston Farm, Merthyr Mawr. Note surname mistranscribed as "DAVID". |
| Residence | Aged 55, widower, farmer, living at Stockland Farm, St. Fagans, with two young sons, a three-month old daughter, sister-in-law Elizabeth THOMAS, and three servants. |
| Shared note | William's first wife, Margaret, died in the second quarter of 1871. The death is recorded in the Cardiff registration district, so it is possible that she and William had already moved to Stocklands, St.Fagans, or perhaps that she died in Penmark - her home parish - I have ordered the certificate to confirm. Some six months later, William married 17-year-old Sarah Thomas, who had been working for him as a dairy maid. They had three children together before Sarah died, aged only 26, of scepticaemia, shortly after the birth of their third child. |
