Thanks, Cynthia, I just inquired on the VERY LONG SHOT that you may have
descended from Susan Rowland family of cir 1485. I appreciate your
answering. She had to be from a fairly prominent family, her son Rowland
Taylor was an LLD, who was a martyr during Bloody Mary era. Religious
persecution at its' finest!

Dear All
Just to let you know that I am in the process of changing my ISP
My address has changed from jan(a)rossbret.powernet.co.uk
to jan(a)rossbret.co.uk
both addresses will work for about a month.
All the best
Jan Brettle
To Glenna,
I have accumlated, over th past 15 years, (through the kindness of Dave
Woolven of Newport, Gwent), entries from quite a number of parishes in
the county of Monmouthshire, for the surname ROWLAND. My offer to
Pauline was, if anyone on the list has any connections with the name
ROWLAND in Monmouthshire, I would be happy look at the entries to see if
I could assist in locating a particular ROWLAND family. I do not have
family trees, just copies of entires from the births, marriage and burial
registers. Very few entries go back further than the late 1500s, though.
Also,
Pauline,
as regards Convicts and the ship on which a particular convict arrived
in Australia; if a convict arrived in Australia prior to 1828, the best
source to find him/her and the ship he/she came to the colony in, is to
look at the NSW Census for 1828. (Johnson & Sainty published this
Census in book form and I should imagine most libraries with a family
history research facility would have a copy). The Census gives the
person's name, age, the ship on which they arrived if a convict, the year
they arrived, the term of their sentence, whether they had been freed by
servitude (i.e. completed their sentence) at the time of the census or
still in government service and if so, to whom they were assigned and the
location of that assignment.
Kind regards,
Cynthia Collison (nee ROWLANDS)
Australia
Just a final word.
One of my rather old guide books of South Wales has under Carmarthen
"Follow St peter's Street to the end of the churchyard and there enter
Priory Street, some distance down on the left hand side of which is the
carefully guarded stump of an oak tree, the palladium of Carmarthen,
according to one of the legends connected with it."
I think this proves your theory.
Bye for now
Pat

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the info. I saw the Lon Y, but I didn't read far enough to the Prior
( I have very poor eyesight due to age-related macular degeneration and I have
to force myself not to skim but to scan thoroughly). I'm sure you are right in
the assumption that it was formerly Prior street or lane. Again, many thanks
for your help.
Regards,
Art

Hi Pauline,
As I just wrote to Pat, I'm beginning to believe that there is or was a Priory
St. in St. Clears. My wife, Audrey remembers visiting her "granny Carmarthen"
(really her father's "granny", Esther) in a house in Carmarthen about a block
from where "Merlin's Oak" once stood. Audrey thought that "Merlin's Oak" stood
at the end of Priory St in the 1930s. Memories are faint and she admits that
she could be wrong. Of course, the family may have lived on Priory St in St.
Clears and moved to Priory St (or near Priory St.) in Carmarthen, hence my
confusion.
My thanks to you and all the listers for you're help. Hope the family is on the
mend and that you avoid the "bug"
Regards,
Art
P.S. The remains of "Merlin's Oak" are or were exhibited in a museum on the
outskirts of Carmarthen on the road to Llandovery near Abergwilli.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply, but do you know with certainty that there is a Priory St in St.
Clears? Just because it says so on the census doesn't necessarily make it true. I
would be inclined to think that it is true, but as a good researcher I would like
corroberation. Sorry if I seem pedantic.... I don't mean to be. Thanks again,
Regards
Art

Hello again Art and Pauline
Looking at my street map of St Clears, although there isn't a Priory
Street anymore , there is a Lon Y Prior in otherwords Priors Lane.
It is possiblr that this is the site of the old Priory Street.
It leads off Bridge Street towards the river (Afon Cynin)
The postcode is SA33 4EF and in bridge Street at postcode SA334EE there
is a place called Old Priory.
Isn't it great to live in a Library? And to think some of our visiting
friends make jokes about us having books in every room!!
If you go into multimap.com and do a postcode search quoting sa334ef it
will show you roughly where it is.
Unfortunately it soesn't show the streets of St Clears (other places get
more detail) but with map scale set to 25,000 you can see it in relation
to the main roads around St Clears.
Hope this helps
Pat

To all listers:
The lost has been found. At the prodding of some NewBrunswick List
subscribers I found the site at the rootsweb Archives. I belong to a total
of 11 lists and really did not want the daunting task of searching all 11
archs. But as the replies came in I figured I sh/try. My first hit was pay
dirt. there were 2 entries and one was what I was looking for.
For those who might in the future need this info the URL is:
http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/gh- this will take you to Guildhall Library-scroll to
"Genealogical Sources at Guildhall" and then to "Lloyd's Captains Register".
in the "Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section". it is a 9 page entry but most
informative.
By hook or by crook I am going to find out from whence I came.
Thank you all for your patience.

Pauline. I hope you and your family will soon be feeling better.If it is the
flu that we have had in australia,called either Siberian Flu
or Australian whooping cough,depending which doctor you saw,It is a viscious
strain which leaves you with a bad cough and which seems to flare up again
every time your body chills down.

Hi Art
The census of 1881 was definately from St Clears parish which did include
Priory Street - maybe it is not there now, does anyone on this list know St
Clears??
I'll see if I can find some information for you - but the census was not
Carmarthen St Peters in the 1881 CD.
speak soon - hope someone with knowledge of St Clears lends a helping
hand.... when the weather gets a bit better we'll go around all these
coastal villages again, nice walks for Sarah and our King Charles Cavalier
(5months old).......
regards Pauline
Dear Pauline, Thank you for your Email. When I get a chance, I will follow
up on your suggestions. Your encouragement is much appreciated.
I think there would be more children out there in different regions as
there are large gaps between marriage date in Carmarthen 1810 and birth of
first known child in Merthry Tydfil.1827. HANNAH PEREGRINES last child was
born in 1837 when she was 47 in Merthry Tydfil according to the 1851 census.
I may perhaps have to go to further census records in other areas where
HENRY PEREGRINE could have been working as a collier.
Suggestions from anyone as to where to look for PEREGRINE family on census
records if any are available for 1841 in other likely areas, would be
appreciated.
Thank you, sincerely, Helen Harris kenhell(a)tpg.com.au
Hello Joan and John
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question - and yes how
wonderful that this information can be shared, much appreciated.
Would you happen to know what kind of farms these were, were they crop
farmers or animal farming....
If you want a look-up or help with your research please let us know. We'll be
pleased to assist you.
A brief outline on my connections with Newchurch and Conwil:
In 1828 Daniel Davies and Dinah Davies both of Conwil baptised Thomas (my
g.g.grandtather) and his brother John 1831 were baptised in Waynlwyd in
Conwil, in 1833 Ann was baptised in Glanffrwd and in 1836 Catherine was
baptised in Blaenffrwd both in Newchurch. I am unsure if these are the same
places!!
In 1833 Newchurch I have a Daniel Davies of Nantyrhyng an occupying tenant
paying £60 per annum - is this information in the book -
They were baptised in Bethel Welsh Calvanistic Methodist Church - which gives
valuable information on the family and when they were born, also the
signature of Daniel Davies, which I have found invaluable, especially when he
witnessed the will of his mother because I was not too sure if I had the
correct family upto then.
Daniel Davies born in 1806 to David and Elizabeth Davies Nantclawdducha
Conwil, moved in every census - by 1851 he was in Penlanychawel St Peters
Carmarthen a widower and farmer of 6 acres, and from here I have lost him -
yet to find him, when I have the time to go and search for my own
roots.......I have found his siblings who all remained in Conwil - and had
large farmsteds.
Sorry for rambling on, but so happy that someone has answered my queries,
thank you so very much
regards Pauline
Hi Art
Yes there was a Priory Stin St Clears.
Isn't this the family in 1881?

Hi Pauline,
Sorry to hear about Richard and Sarah. I hope that they will recover soon.
I have been searching on-line maps and I find a Priory Street in Carmarthen Town,
but not in St. Clears. I'm begginning to think that 57 Priory St is in
Carmarthen and that the occupants were born in St. Clears. Does anyone know for
certain that there is or there isn't a Priory Street in St. Clears ?

Hello world,
I've been offline for 2 months having been struck off by lightening over Xmas! Having just reconnected I'm now wading through 750 messages which have built up and read with interest that Pat Powell is looking for Beynons.
I'm a Beynon descendant - Llangendeirne/Llanelly via Merthyr and back to Llangendeirne. My John Beynon was my g grandfather who was born in Dowlais in 1853 - son of David Beynon from Llangendeirne and Mary Beynon nee Harris from Kidwelly. David Beynon was a collier - hence the move to Merthyr to find work
Any connection?

___________
Total 90 2 5
the total tithe rent for both farms was set at £4. 14s. 6d
If any one is interested, it seems when the tithe was changed from goods to
money in 1844 some of the values were based on the following,
"Sixpence for each milch cow in lieu of tithes of milk and calves.
Four pence for each barren cow in lieu of agistment.
One penny for each yearling beast in lieu of agistment.
Four pence for each foal in lieu of tithes of foals.
Four pence for each hive of bees in lieu of tithes of honey.
Four pence for each stye in lieu of tithes of pigs.
One penny for each hay loft in lieu of tithes of hay."
There seems to have been a Tithe Commutation in 1836 which was based on the
amount of corn ,barley and/or oats produced during the previous seven years.
Would anyone care to comment or clarify?
I'm sure the book is no longer available, we obtained our copy of it from
the Rev. Morgan's grandchildren when they stayed B&B with us about 15 years
ago. Ive referred to the book on numerous occasions over these years, and
have always felt frustrated that I could not share it with anyone. I would
like to think he would be pleased that 90 years after its publication its
contents, via this medium, can be of use to the descendants of the families
and people he christened, married, new and buried in the parish during his
years as Vicar.

Sometime recently I received an URL for a website for a list of
codes/abbreviations of Ship Captains. I belong to too many mail lists and
for the sake of me I cannot find the post.
I have checked everything humanly possible to no avail, If this rings a bell
w/anyone please contact me at your leisure.
