Hi Kate,
Thank you for your warm welcome. I subscribe to the Powys list and a lister
pointed me in this direction due to the location of my research.
Thanks also for the offer of look ups in 1851. John and Hannah CHURCHILL are
my Gt. Gt. Gt. grandparents and John JAMES visiting the Watkins family is my
Gt. grandfather.
My Gt. grandfather John CHURCHILL married Mary Ann JAMES between 1881 and
1883 they both lived in Llangunider they had two children Elizabeth Ellen b
14/6/1884 and Margaret Sarah b 1886. Margaret appears to have been adopted by
her grandparents John and Mary James, sadly died in 1894 at the age of 9. Her
mother Mary Ann James had also died before 1891.
I am trying to gain more information about,
!. John and Mary James, not married in 1851
2. Mary Ann Churchill nee James cause of death and date.
3.Why Margaret was adopted by her grandparents and her father moved to
Lancashire taking one daughter (my grandmother) and not the other.
Don't want much do I. she laughs.
kindest regards,
Chris
