That helps alot. I am not sure what religion they were.
I don't know what to do next. Any advice?
I do have a fathers name for Thomas that I got off a marriage cert. but that is it. He
was Edward Jenkins. He lived to be over 100 as did 3 of his brothers. I would think they
were born early 1800's or late 1700's.
I can't find a birth for Thomas either. On one census he states he was born in Radnor
St. Harmon and in the next census he states he was born Llanidloes, Montgommery.
Were would you look for that?
You have been so wonderful! That information was very helpful.
Do you live in Wales?

Hello Jill,
Shop Row was named after the Ironworks company shop as you probably
know. It was a busy street in 1800's but only a few derelict premises
exist there now. The British legion club, now derelict, and Glanyrafon
surgery. Also Gwent building supplies which I believe was the
Ironworkscompany shop and later years a storeroom for the National
Coal Board
(NCB). St John's ambulance hut is opposite Glanyrafon surgery. All
thesebuildings exist on Shop Row.
1861 and 1871 are too old for municipal cemetery burials, so the
familymust have been buried in Chapel or Church grounds. Siloh
Welsh Baptis
Chapel is just around the corner and had a graveyard.
Unfortunately the
burial records have not survived for reasons not known by the present
chapel administration.
My wife's ancestors (Rees) were members there and it is hugely
disappointing for her that no records are available. Don Hughes's
(fromFlorida) has interests in Siloh and it is also a great
disappointmentfor him as well.
Do you know what religious denomination they were?
best regards
Barrie Jones, Gwent
