Description and record details

Title Four Generations - 1922
Description Standing, Maggie Pring holding her baby daughter Dorothy. Sitting, left, Hannah Williams, Maggie's mother and on the right, 'Mamgu' Mary Williams, Hannah's mother.

In 1894, aged 17 years, Hannah eloped with Daniel, and they married at Merthyr Registry Office. It was to have been a double wedding, with Hannah's brother also marrying. Their parents found out and he was stopped, although they didn't know about Hannah's plans. It came as quite a shock.

Mamgu raised her family of five boys and seven girls, at Colliers Row, Abernant with her husband Tom, who worked as a Hewer at the local pit.
