Gibbon, David and Mary - Penderyn
My great grandparents were married and worked in Penderyn.

Mary was staying at the large Ysgubor (Sp?) Fawr farm, where she was a maid, near Penderyn at the time of the wedding although her family home was at Godregraig, Ystalyfera. Mary is listed in the 1861 Census of Wales as the wife of David Gibbon in Pendryn, Breconshire, Wales age 20. They were Married in Penderyn 22 Dec 1860. David was also a Deacon at the Baptist Chapel and taught Sunday School.Mary Lewis was staying at yshubot(sp?) Fawr farm Penderyn at the time of the wedding. Should study the gravestones in Penderyn. They immigrated from Herwin, Aberdare, Glmorganshire to America in about 1866. David may have had a brother there too possibly named Levy or Levi. The mystery is who were David's Parents???. And where?
