Lewis b Buckholt 1877 and 1871 census MON/HEF

philvn — 4 Jul 2008 11:55:16 GMT

My grandmother, Elizabeth Gertude Lewis was born at Buckholt, MON in Dec 1877 [I have her birth certificate]. I'd like to find out where she was christened - it was not Whitchurch HEF where her siblings were christened before and after her. I have her record in the 1881 census. I'd also like to know what the 1871 census tells of her parents, William and Louisa Lewis [nee Morris, of Buckholt] and any other children - perhaps at Whitchurch or Llanrothal HEF or at Buckholt/Dixton MON. This is tangled, so any help welcomed!

How, Howe, Howse, Howes all cousins?

cuzal — 5 Jul 2008 2:19:37 GMT

Hi Folks, in my genealogical search of my Thomas Howes 1580 - I have found mis-spelling by town and court clerks - many times in same document! Now, listen up!

I am Al Howes V.P. of the Howes Family Association and with 20th Gen. "Cuz" Paul Howes of Norfolk, England (found through DNA) have been working together over the past few months to plan a DNA project. The aims of the project are:

1 - to establish the English roots of Thomas Howes, who emigrated to America in 1637

2 - to help individual Howes, Howse,Howe,How family members break through brick walls in their research

3 - to bring together Howes families from around the world, and add to the sum of knowledge about our family

4 - to examine whether there are common roots between Howes, Howse and Howe families

We have just obtained a 50% discount voucher for DNA testing kits from a commercial service. Yes, that's half-off, but the vouchers are valid only until July 30, 2008. So you will need to make a quick decision to benefit from this special offer.

A few words about DNA testing: it's a simple swab, which you rub around your mouth for a few moments and then mail back. The supplier then sends you an email some weeks later with the URL to your test results. Those results

will be available to my English cousin Paul, and myself, as administrators of the site, but you will not have to disclose your identity to us. Once you have your own DNA test results, you can do your own searches on the suppliers and other sites to find matches. I can provide anyone interested with a lot more information on the usefulness of testing if desired.

If you are interested in using the discount voucher, please write to me off-list. I will send you more background on the project, DNA testing and the voucher ID. This is all volunteer, no money for us - only the testing company.

Many thanks in advance - Good Luck and Good Hunting

I'm lost and need help from SKS...

manley — 7 Jun 2008 2:14:38 GMT

My grandfather's 1893 birth certificate from Wales gives the following information:

Registration District - Bedwelty
Birth in the Sub-district of - Aberystruth (? not sure if the "ru" is correct)
In the county of Monmouth

Then in the section of when & where born it reads 41 Garn Cross, Nantyglo.

When I google Nantyglo it comes back to Ebbw Vale, Gwent county.

Can anybody help me understand this so that I can properly indicate (in my genealogy program) where he was born and where the certificate can be found. Is is possible to be born in one county of Wales, but the birth is registered in another county? He was born at home (in case that makes any difference).

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Lovell gypsies

Mel1822 — 1 Nov 2007 9:19:54 GMT

I'm trying to find out if my branch of the Lovell family is connected to gypsies.
My great grandmother Lily used to say "We all look like gypsies..." and now I discover that Lovell was a name taken by Romanys!
Lily was the daughter of Allan Lovell, co-founder of Lovell's Confectionery in Pontypool/Newport, and I have heard that someone thinks that there's a connection - but as yet know no more.
I've been to other websites, but again, no joy in discovering the truth.
Does anyone out there know if there's a connection to the Lovell gypsies? My tree goes back to the 1700s on the Lovell line, so if you need any more names, I may have them...

Thanks

finding towns near Blackwood

burkvoss — 24 Apr 2008 10:50:21 GMT

My g-g-grandmother (Alice Williams) was born in 1843 in Ceincoed Mynyddyslwyn.

Her parents (Henry Williams and Margaret Williams) were married in 1842. The marriage was solemnized in Beulah, parish of Mynyddyslwyn, was performed in the Baptist Chapel. Henry's residence was Penderry, parish of Mynyddyslwyn. Margaret's residence was Crumlin, Mynyddyslwyn.

I would like to know where the Chapel and other towns are. I have found Blackwood and Crumlin on a map. I have not been able to find Penderry (although there was a area Pen -deri on one map) or Ceincoed (if that is a town and not a Welsh word for something else).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mary WILLIAMS (b 1867) & John VENN (b 1869), Mon.

sarahwilliams153 — 1 May 2008 6:11:16 GMT

Hello
I have just discovered a connection to the VENN family in Monmouthshire while researching my family history. I wondered if anyone has any information.

Mary WILLIAMS (b 13/12/1867) married John VENN (born c. 1869) on 26/5/1890 in Mamhilad, Pontypool.

I know very little about John VENN except that his father was also John VENN. John VENN and Mary WILLIAMS had a son John VENN (born c 1895).

Mary is the daughter of Jehoida WILLIAMS (b. 11/2/1844) and Margaret ELTON (b. 18/6/1848). Mary's father, Jehoida, died in 1869 when Mary was 2 years old. Mary's mother, Margaret, married a second time to John PULMAN (b. c1851) who brought up Mary and her brother, also called Jehoida (b 17/5/1869), along with their later children (Williams, James, Rachel PULMAN). Mary's brother, Jehoida WILLIAMS, emigrated with Elizabeth KELLY, his wife, and children to New Zealand in 1919. This Jehoida was my gr grandfather.

I would be very keen to trace descendents of Mary WILLIAMS and John VENN.

Cheers
Sarah Williams

Jones family from Neath / Mynyddislwyn areas

adrianj159 — 18 May 2007 9:33:53 GMT

I'm seeking information the family of John Owen Jones, who was living at the New Inn Hotel in Mynyddislwyn in 1901. His wife was Louisa, and their children were Owen (or Glyndwr), Idrisyn, Ceitho, Ceinwen and Brychan. I have information about Idrisyn, who was my great-grandfather, but can find nothing on any of his siblings or parents previous to the 1891 census.
John Owen Jones gives his place of birth as Neath, and would have been born c.1863. Louisa (maiden name unknown) was born c.1865 in Abercarn.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Marraige of David John Williams & Elizabeth King

D Nancarrow — 6 Feb 2006 2:43:51 GMT

Hi,

Desperately need help. Looking for details of marriage for David John Williams & Elizabeth King. I believe they were probably married in the early 1920's, as they had 2 sons then my nana in 1927. My nana was born in Tradega & I presume that her two older brothers (David & Harry) were also. David John Williams was also from Wales. Elizabeth King was born in South Shields.

I have searched the indexes and come accross a few Williams/King marriages, but when cross referenced, they don't match. Perhaps I've missed them or they married much earlier than I anticipated.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many, many thanks, Dianna.

BAKER - BLAENAVON, MONMOUTHSHIRE AND YATE, GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Vivian_Simmonds — 5 Feb 2008 11:54:01 GMT

I am looking for the births of Thomas, Esther and William Baker, children of William Baker and Ann (surname unknown), born in Blaenavon between c1855-c1860. I have them in the census but would like to order their birth certificates. The family were from Yate, Gloucester and returned there before 1868 when a further three children were born. Their first child, Mary Ann, was also born in Yate c1850.

I would also be interested to know if any other children were born to William and Ann as a five year gap between children was quite a long time in those days. We then have a further gap between children after the birth of their fourth child in Blaenavon (c1860) and their fifth child born in Yate (c1868).

Has anyone any ideas why William and Ann would have moved to Blaenavon and then returned to Gloucester?

I'm sure I have some gaps to fill in here and any help would be appreciated.

Morgans of Tredegar

Paul Busby — 13 Mar 2001 12:00:00 GMT

I work at Tredegar House in Newport, and am currently attempting to compile a history of the Morgans of Tredegar. The Morgan family's stamp has been firmly left on the history of Monmouthshire, Breconshire and Glamorgan; it seems you can't walk down certain streets without bumping into foundation stones laid by Viscount Tredegar, or have a quiet sit down in a park that was NOT given to a town or village by either Sir Charles Morgan or one of the six Lords Tredegar!
My aim is to compile as much biographical information as possible on this ever intriguing dynasty, in the hope of being able to tell their story.
If anyone has any information on the Morgan family (letters, documents, memories etc) I would be most grateful if they could get in touch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Paul Busby

I'm looking for information on the family (sibs & parents) of Leslie Burgess Bellamy, b. 12 Sep 1908 in Wales; d. Jan 1962 in Michigan (probably Detroit). He immigrated to Canada, then to the US in 1929. He married Gwyneth Elizabeth Jones in 1935.

According to family lore, there may have been 12 children, 3 of which might have died when kids. Some of the siblings names might have been: Flossie or Floss, Helen, Lena, Alice, Lucy. Leslie was probably the youngest. The next youngest boy was 19 years older than Leslie. Leslie's dad died when he was about 44 and his grandma remarried a man named Jones, who also died when he was 44.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Morgan family came to the Anthracite Coal region of Pennsylvania, USA prior to the 1860's. There names were Thomas and Mary Webster Morgan and David and Catherine Morgan. Much of their family history is contained in a little book marked J. Jones, Tea Dealer, Tredegar that was created prior to 1850.

I'd be interested in hearing from anybody researching Morgan lines from Tredegar. We visited Tredgar twice.
My great-grandfather, Lewis Silcox was also born near Nanty-Glo prior to 1850, the son of a James and Mary Tucker Silcox. A brother, Jonah, was killed in a mine blast at Blana in 1847.

Can someone tell me how Kemey is pronounced in Wales? Kem or Keem? Or? I'm looking for an ancestor who apparently came with Rev. Richard Blynman of Chepstow, Monmouthshire in 1638 or 1640. He ended up here as Keeney, but went through many spellings (still does). Most Keeneys now are Irish, but many-times-greatgrandpa apparently was not.
I find Kemey's Commander and Kemey's Manor an interesting possiblity.
