Hi everyone,
I have recently received the death certificates of my gg/grandparents
Patrick and Ellen FLYNN.
Ellen died of Phthisis aged 39yrs on 25th May 1897 @ Tredegar Workhouse
and
Patrick died of Pulmonary Tuberculosis aged 71yrs on 13th May 1929
@ Tyn Bryn Tredegar
but he was of 29 Iron Street Tredegar
Because Patricks certificate states his usual address, it would seem that he
was in hospital, and I read that Tyn Bryn was a Workhouse that later became
a hospital, but I don't know in what period this happened.
Questions: is Phthisis Pulmonary Tuberculosis?
In 1929 was Tyn Bryn a hospital?
If it was a hospital in 1929, would it have retained the
name Tyn Bryn?
Would it have been the same Workhouse as the Tredegar
Worhouse that Ellen died in 32yrs before?
Are there records kept for the Tredegar Workhouse?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Robin (Newcastle NSW Australia)

Hi Kate,
Believe me, I'm not complaining! You gave me more Isaac's than I know what
to do with.
I'll have to check out the actual census to see who all these kids belong
to, because some of the ages don't make sense with the adults listed.
Thank you so much for the LDS Family History Center addresses and phone
numbers. I never knew there were two of them within 10 miles of home. I do
have the Folio and Page numbers you provided, so they should be easy to
find.
Again, thank you for researching this for me. Now if I can just figure out
who belongs to who I may be able to continue going backward in my search.
Appreciatively yours,
Elsie L Isaac

Dear list,
I seek to establish contact with any DOBBS' or DOBBS descendants with DOBBS ancestors in Monmouthshire (including Rassau and Beaufort, formerly Breconshire). My great-grandmother (91 this year!) lives in Beaufort and was born a Dobbs, in fact the daughter of William DOBBS (1874-1929) who was in turn the son of Charles DOBBS (c.1843-1921) who married Elizabeth Jones in 1866 while of Sirhowy. Charles remarried in 1896 and both certificates name his father as Abraham DOBBS, a coal miner and who was dead by Charles' first marriage in 1866. Charles gives a different birthplace in each census, none of which have turned out to be 'right' and the only Abraham DOBBS of the right age that I can find is in Lincolnshire (not one of Charles' given birthplaces, nowhere near any of them actually!). However, there were many children (mostly sons) born to both Charles and William so I'm sure there are quite a few descendants out there who might be able to point me in the direction of Charles!
. On the 1896 marriage certificate, Charles' surname was originally spelt DODD which he and his wife had corrected in 1906. I find this very odd, could DODD be his true surname? I note that a Charles DODD was born in Stafford in the right time frame and Staffordshire is the place of birth given by Charles in 1891, the others being East Lane, Gloucester in 1871, Sirhowy in 1881 and Ebbw Vale in 1901.

I am looking for any of the descendents of Francis Valentine Rees who lived in 91 Princess Street and 1 Bishop Street Abertillery

The children were born between 1907 and about 1920.
Any one there????????

Hello Listers!
I hate to ask this, but would someone be kind enough to see if Thomas ISAAC
and wife Mary are listed on Thoms Street, Rhymeny in either of these two
censuses? I received my GGF's BC today, and this is where they were living
in 1865 when they registered his birth.
I'd truly appreciate any help I can get in finding if there were any
siblings.
Thanks!

Is there a record of the burials at Llanelly cemetry I am looking for david Meredith died between 1861 and 1871 and his wife Rebecca who died after 1881 They were married in the parish church in 1827

Hello
Always exciting to get a 'new' certificate back - in this case a marraige certificate that gives me some leads on my g.grandmother - Emma JONES, b. 1881, Trevethin.
Her parents were William JONES (b. 1847, Pontypool) and Miriam POWELL (b. 1855, Pontypool) who married in Sept. qtr. 1877 in Pontypool. Looks like I'll be able to get another M. Cert. for them.
Interested to hear from any other listers with these folks on their radar (there ought to be special assistance for any Jones researchers in Wales don't you think?)
Mark in a glorious Derbyshire (surely can't last all weekend?)
I am hoping a list member may be able to help me - I have a PSION handheld
that has died and need to find someone who has a series 5mx and who would be
willing to restore a back-up file and convert it to excel for me.
The cost of repair of the PSION is more than I could sell it for!!
Here's hoping
Cheers

Kathryn,
The only information I have at the moment on the MEREDITH side is this:
My GGF was Thomas John MEREDITH (b) 12/1872 Reg. Dist. Newcastle in Emlyn
Thomas married Helen JONES (b) 5/11/1873 don't know where
They had a daughter Florence MEREDITH (my GM) in Edwardsville I believe
Florence married my GF Abram Saul DANIELS Sr. around Wilkes-Barre somewhere
They had 2 children:
Helen Hannah DANIELS (b) 4/4/1921 Edwardsville, PA Luzerne Co.
Abram Meredith DANIELS (B) 1927? Edwardsville, PA Luzerne Co.
Helen Hannah married my father Lewis Stanley Marcombe ISAAC (b) 10/25/1921
in Tonypandy. (Parents Lewis William Isaac & Margaret Eugenie (Marcombe)
Isaac)
This is all I have so far on the Merediths.

I am originally from Trdegar. My late mother always said there was a
connection between my Jones side of the family (My grandmother was a Jones)
and the Merediths. I have no idea how, but it is likely that maybe there is
a
link through the Jones side of the family. One great grandmother is listed
in
having been born in Radnor town on the Tredegar Aberystruth census for 1881.
Her mother, born 1820 I have the exact date but can only assume it was
Radnorshire /Herefordshire,married a Henry Jones (born Ffestiniog 1819)
circa 1840's and I have been unable to locate the church mentioned in old
family notes.( Cwmbedw, Cwmtilor Radnor) Have in fact been wondering whether
it could have been in Herefordshire rather than Radnorshire.
Some Jones "cousins" who claimed this link with the Merediths, lived in
Ashvale Tredegar while I was young. My mother was very definite as were the
Jones/Meredith about this link
I would be interested to hear more detail.
Best wishes
Kathryn Thomas.

Actually I have some pictures of relatives from USA , in an old family
albumn. Will look them up tomorrow! Sadly I have no idea who they are! But
the Merediths linked to my Jones all had a Tredegar connection, though of
course many people moved into Tredegar in the early 19th Century looking for
work.
As two of my great grandparents were Joneses who married each other I do not
know from which side there was a Meredith connection. I think the Meredith
link must be from a Jones lady marrying into that line!
Will look up the albumns and be back in touch.
Best wishes
Kathryn.
Hi There,
Please can some kind soul look up the St Elli's records for me
between 1831-1841 for a death of Ann(?) Davies wife of Thomas Davies
cordwainer of Brynmawr.
Can anyone tell me what religion St Elli's is? Where abouts is St Elli's in
Brynmawr?
Also how do I go about finding out where in the cemetery my relation was
buried?
Many Thanks
Marilyn
I couldn't help but notice the name Meredith, and I am wondering if my
husband's gr gr gr grandfather could be
connected to your Meredith ancestor. We just recently discovered that
Thomas Meredith is listed as the father
of Thomas Arrowsmith on the latter's birth certificate. Young Thomas was
christened on Sep 12, 1813, in HEF
Brilley. We know that there is a Tredegar connection in the family, so I am
wondering if perhaps any of you
researching Meredith may find his name anywhere. Probably grasping at
straws, but can't help being curious.
Incidentally, Thomas Meredith didn't marry Elizabeth Arrowsmith, thus my
husband's gr gr gr grandfather is
not named Meredith.

Kathryn,
There are Jones's in my family history also on the Meredith side of the
family. I think my GGF Thomas John Meredith married a Jones. I don't have
a lot of info on the Merediths yet, but I do have some.
As I'm at work at the moment (7:20 am here in the US), I don't have that
info off the top of my head. But, I will post again when I get home this
evening with what I have.

Hi All!
I'm fairly new to this list, but desperately need some help. I am trying to
locate my GGF's family around the Rhymney area in 1871.
Herbert Lloyd ISAAC was born in Rhymney 4-6/1865.
I'd like to see if he had any siblings. I am awaiting a birth certificate
which will show who his parents were. I've gone back this far, but have run
into a brick wall.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Hi Elsie,
There are so many Meredith families in Wales that there is a very low
possibility of any link. However, just in case here are my facts. My
Merediths originated in northern Herefordshire before moving to south Wales
in the 1840s where the line died out in my family because it is in the
female line.
