She (Ann Bound) married Edward Rees in Llandinam, Montgomeryshire, Wales, 24 August 1866 (alternate date of 25 Aug 1861 also found...first child born in 1862). The following individuals are also linked to this event: William Bound, Witness; Stephen Kinsey, Witness. Banhadlog Chapel of Ease was not a Baptist Church, but rather it was dependent on the Llandinam Parish Church. Both are churches in Wales (the Welsh version of the church of England.). The chapel is located in the hills in the extreme southern part of the parish along Banhadlog Hall and was apparently named for Banhadlong Hall. The location of the chapel was to cater to the remote and scattered upland farms and residences in Llandinam and also served the adjacent upland areas of Llanguring and Llanidloes. At the same time it was challenged by the strong Baptist congregation at nearby Newchapel and later the Methodists of Caerau whilst diverting Llandinam parishioners away from St. Harmons in Radnorshire.

Though unusual for a chapel, the Chapel of Ease incorporated a burial ground. David Peate of the Montgomeryshire Family History Society wrote: There are no people name BOUND with memorials at Banhadlog Chapel of Ease but that does not mean to say that Bounds are not buried there. There are Bounds in the Beuhlah Baptist Churchyard which is just a stone's throw away from Banhadlog. There were burials there as late as 1958. It was not unusual for Baptists to be married in the parish church, even it they attended Chapel. Edward Rees, the groom, aged 22, a bachelor of Tyddn y Cwm whose father was Jacob Rees, a labourer; Ann Bound, the bride, aged 21, a spinster whose father was Thomas Bound, a farmer.
