Hi Joe,

"Ramsey marriage 27 Nov 1864

Catherine is the d/o John Radcliffe and Catherine Corlett from the y-vair family.

John Edwards marr Elizabeth Graves 15 May 1857, John bach laborer Ram [father] John Edwards Bottlemaker

Lydia Margaret 25 Dec 1862 Ram, marr Thomas Wm Bridson 21 Nov 1886 Braddan, buried 20 June 1918 Mau 51yrs.
