  Marriage	14 Apr 1866	Register Office, Pontypool, Monmouthshire
  	Copy Certificate issued 19 August 1975. Original Entry No. 56. Both resided at Blaenavon Treoethen (I think this should be Trevethin). David Williams described as a Collier. Both fathers deceased. His described as a Carrier. Hers described as a Miner. Edward's age is 33 and Maria's age is 26. Maria's age does not tie in with her age in the 1871 Census, so either certificate is for wrong couple or Maria was overstating her age. The various censuses ages do tie in with her date of birth.
