	Helen, this thread is nearly 12 years old and I would doubt that the poster is checking for replies. Given the time scale, the poster has probably solved the query. You could try clicking on the poster's name and sending her a message if you are researching the same family.

He may have got Elizabeth Exell pregnant as she is described as "daughter in law". She is 14 and he is 13.

	Thank you, to both jim and Jess. I know they left pontypool by 64 and thanks to you Jess I now know it was before the 61 census. Its looks like it could be Jims lot. The family name originates from this area. Thanks for your time and effort. Julie

	Hi Irene, Thanks for looking but this can not be him, He would only be seven at the time of the marriage.

	Six months ago I did a blanket search for my family of sturge on bmd and came across a marriage for a William Henry sturge in 1859, Pontypool. The problem I have is that I cannot connect him to my tree. Can anyone find him on the censuses and solve this mystery for me. Julie
