As she died after 1858, if her will went to probate it would be in the National Probate Calendar, so we would have already found it before.

On FreeREG, you need to click where it says "Row 1" (or whatever) in the "Detail" column to see the full transcription.

Thanks Kite. I am very rusty and so many things have changed. I hope you are well. Cheers. Julie

It wouldn't give parents' names unless the bride and / or groom was under age but that doesn't look likely.

Thanks Kite. I found through Forebears that Jane David was baptised at Blaenporth in 1784 which is the correct year. Her father John. It links to FMP but I don't currently have a sub as my Credit card details changed and I didn't get around to renewing. I am tossing and turning between The Genealogist and FMP at the moment. I am so rusty that I think I need to spend some time at the library on Ancestry and see if I can get my cogs unwound. You can tell I am spending a fair bit of time of the exercise bike!!
