There was not a single Jenkins-Jenkins marriage in Llandovery for over 40 years.
I have had a look at the miscellaneous overseas marriages included since September 2013 on Ancestry. I did find my waiter Joe Makepeace from Marylebone marrying in Paris & Vicinity (don't know that town) to Marie Alexandrine Mere about 1873. He had likely met her at the Castle in Perthshire where he was second footman. I also found my Mary Bagnell marrying 1867, in the English Episcopal Church, Rue d'Aguesseau 'in the house of the Ambassador' with his consent. Her place of origin is given as Attanagh, Queen's County (now Laois). This was useful. Her groom was from Dover and her brother had married at Sittingbourne. The Earl of Orkney is shown as the absentee landlord of Grenan townland, Attanagh with Mary's mother Rebecca occupying and sub-letting. The family must have approved as her brother the doctor witnesses. (Their son later got hit with a viscountcy while on the Pyrenees.)

Celtic connections
I have the following connections with Scotland:
1. Stephen and Ann Read, a soldier who worked at Stirling Castle and retired to Glasgow. Their son-in-law was Postmaster General of Straits Settlements about 1910 and then at Glasgow.
2. John Wood of Hamilton, who married in Surrey to Theodora and whose children were born in Hamilton. Only one decided to come back and live there.
3. Dr William Lyall of Edinburgh who married in Bromyard Worcs to Marion and had several children.
4. Robert Park of Edinburgh who married in Dorset to Augusta and whose children all married in Scotland though two moved on, one to Cheltenham, one to Nyborg Denmark having married a corn merchant.
2. My grandfather, born in Stockwell, descends from Walsh, Dawson, Cleary, Carroll of Co Limerick, Co Cork, Co Tipperary in no real known order.
3. Edwin Brown of Poole, engineer for the Belfast tramway, married in Bath - still there in 1926, but hard to get more information as Northern Ireland has own records from 1922. Source: familysearch
4. Thomas Richards, jeweller, Wexford Town, married in Dublin to Annie, from Somerset, his second wife. They had an only child Sylvia. Source: 1890 Wells Journal
5. Sarah Urch, printer's daughter from Wells, who married in Galway 1857 to Michael Harding. Her younger brother must have followed her to Ireland. He had arrived in Dublin and found a wife, by 1870. Robert Urch became supervisor of the Inland Revenue in Dublin and is buried at Mount Jerome. Source: will of Lucas Urch, familysearch
6. Moira Kelly, daughter of an Irishman, returns to Ireland in the 1950s living happily in County Meath. Her father was a clerk in Crouch End in 1911, and from his birthplace I found him living in 1901 in Meath. His grandchildren are still living at the same place today, their stint in England being over. Source: cousin
Two-thirds of these connections are from my Somerset line: they had names sufficiently rare for me to track them around very easily.
