Most of these viruses are worms, I think, so people don't send them out

Hello Listers,
I've got some mail from my newly "discovered" 3rd. cousin
about a mysterious "Maryanne" who lived at the Dorothy Cafe in Ferryside
before WW1. She was his g.g.mother and possibly ( we now think ) my
g.mother's elder sister. If any one has access to the 1871 census for
Llanybri, Llanstephan, could they please check on a family who would have
included the following :-
John Davies married age 35 b. Clydey, Pembroke,
Elizabeth Davies " 35 b. Llanstephan
John Davies U 14 b. "
? Maryanne Davies U 13 ( or maybe 12 ) b. Llanstephan
Mariah Davies U 7 b.
"
? Elizabeth Davies.... if born by then a few months old. b. "
The 1881 census shows additional children ( ten years on remember ) :-
Thomas Davies aged 7 b. Llanstephan
William Davies 5 "
Benjamin Davies 3 "
Alternatively, was there another son called Evan of about the same age ? My
cousin has a family photograph of someone he believes is Maryanne taken when
she was 56
in which he sees a strong family resemblence to my photograph of my g.mother.
I also have a photo of someone he says is his g.g.father, Evan, and this, to
my mind, bears a stronger facial resemblance to Elizabeth Davies, my
g.g.mother. Thus it would be nice to know what the relationship may have
been.... perhaps the 1871 census will decide the issue for us ?
Another census, the 1901 one, may also show who was living at the Dorothy
Cafe then and provide a clue to their birthplaces.
Hopefully someone more clued up than me can help me with this one.
Diolch,
Trevor ( with more Welsh relations than he imagined )
For some reason, I appear to be getting two copies of every posting to the

Hi Pat,
Thank you so much for looking that all up for me!! That certainly matches
what I have so far! Most of what you sent was definately new! I had the
name of one of James' siblings, and no-one knew if there even were any
others, much less what their names were! And I didn't have any of the census
records. Basically, all I know about genealogy resources in Wales so far is
what I've heard since I joined this list, but I'm figuring it out! There
are a couple of Carmarthenshire microfilms available through the FHL that
I'd like to get and see what I can find on them. I also checked the
CarmarthenshireFHS you mentioned, and it looked quite interesting. It looks
really good; I think I'll write to the person in charge and ask about
joining. I found one link on there that was an index to groom's names in
Carmarthen, and I found a Richard Richard who was listed as married in 1830,
which matches pretty well with what I have. He was also the only one by
that name listed, so I'd like to check that out.
Pretty much what I have is what was in the family histories. I was lucky
enough to have a Great Grandfather (Lloyd Raymond Richards) who decided to
write down everything he knew and save it for future generations that might
be interested. :-) But since he only knew back to Richard Richards the
first, and not even all of that, we are trying to trace them back further.
All of which to say I really appreciate what you've sent, and now have about
10- 15 new names to add, and anything else you might find I would be very
grateful for!
Thanks again, and God bless!

I am currently transcribing a large chunk of the Llanddeusant BT's, and it
certainly teaching me to treat the IGI with caution! I'm beginning to wonder
how anyone can be sure of anyone's name when the patronymics come and go
depending on how long after the event the churchwarden, or whoever, wrote up
the copies. And some have so little information as to be almost valueless.
There are a number of anomalies and curiosities and I wondered if anyone
familiar with the parish - or maybe just familiar with Welsh registers of
the 18th and 19th century, could help me with a couple of them?
Firstly, dozens of children were baptised as "reputed" son or daughter of...
I always used to think that meant illegitimate, but if that is so, most of
the population of Llanddeusant were illegitimate in some years! Also, only
one child in this period (1775-1815) was ever described as "base born" which
suggests that reputed children were a different thing .. can anyone help
with this?
For burials, some women were listed only by their name, not as wife or widow
of .... Would this mean that they were single women, or merely that the
writer forgot to put wife or widow (which seems the customary way of
mentioning women)?
The parish church is in the south eastern corner of the parish and it is
evident that months went by without a single event happening in the church.
I wonder if the parishioners disliked their various curates .. or maybe
thought that Llangadock was nearer? Does anyone know anything about the
history of churchgoing in the parish? I realise that there were non-
conformist chapels in the area, but don't think that would be a cause of
gaps, particularly regarding marriages?
When I have completed the transcribing, I shall be offering lookups on the
lookup exchange, but please don't ask until then as I am right in the middle
of things and couldn't cope just now.

Hi Dave
Carmarthen Record Office is not set up for internet access, although The staff
have access, there is not enough or should I say, there are no Decent PC's large
enough to handle online access to the public.
Hopefully in the new financial year Terry seems to think there is enough in the
budget to have several PC's added, this will include access to the internet.
The Carmarthen library has internet access, so hopefully , it will be soon.

Hi Mary
I do not have either census sorry - only 1851 for this parish......
Have you tried sending to Carmarthen registry office to locate a death for
Maria Harries/is - they will do a five year search if you give the parish -
I know that they have not indexed the burials as yet, but they are so
helpful they will look in the actual register for you if you have a
parish......
Another option, have you tried looking through St Catherine's house indexes
for this death - unsure how many there would be for Carmarthenshire for this
name....it is worth a try .....
If you know Maria was still alive in 1859 and Rees Harries was born in 1870
there is a 10 year span to look.......or you could ask for a marriage
between William Harries and Ann Llanstephan c1865 which is halfway between
these years......there are lots of possibilities because there are
certificates for this time....

Robert Pugh is son (? g son) of one of the Pugh Brothers furniture store in
Cowell Street.
He was responsible for organising much of the Council Collection in Park
Howard. He also organises an auction each year around the time of the Show
in Carmarthen but now lives in Bath I believe.
You can also get information on the pottery and its work from Glyn Vivian
gallery / museum in Swansea and museum in Carmarthen at Abergwili.
Each of these will assist you in identification of pieces also. They
recently helped me with a Llanelly meat plate with "Colandine" pattern which
was very typical of Llanelly (very similar to "Willow")
If you are in Llanelli area you may also want to visit Castle Antiques in
Kidwelly who often have some "Cockerel" plates and will give advice. Be
warned cockerel plates now >600 pounds apiece.

Hello Ray
I have a copy of "Welsh Pottery" by Robert Pugh which I bought in
Llanelly about 1 0r 2 years ago (proce £5 as Phillip said)
Can I look up anyhting for you?
It is a fairly small book but it gives details of the different period
of control of the pottery.
Apart from Llanelly Pottery (1839 - 1922)
it also covers
The Cambrian Pottery (1764 - 1870 ) (Swansea)
The Glamorgan Pottery (1813 - 1839)
And a little on
Callands Pottery, Llndore (1852 - 1856)
The Dyfatty Street Pottery (Pleasant Vale Pottery) (1843 - 1892)
Ynysmeudwy Pottery (1845 - 1875)
In the bibliograph book relating to Llanelly pottery are:-
Llanelly Pottery by Dilys Jenkins DEB books 1968
Llanelly Pottery by Gareth Hughes and Robert Pugh , Publisged by
Llanelli Borough Council 1990.
The book I have - i.e Welsh Pottery - is published by
Towy Publishing, 2 Beaufort Mews, St Saviour's Rd, Larkhall,

Let me know if you want any details from the book.

Hi Pauline,
Thanks for the information about the above - it tallies with my understanding that he was born in 1791.
Now,how old were his parents when he was born? In their 20s or 30s? If so they were married in the 1780s and born in the 1760s or 1770s.
Are there certificates/documents in the public domain that could shed light on these events?
Any ideas?

let us know if these are new bits of information for you.
I have obtained the 1881 census from the LDS set of CDs sold as either
partial areas - or the whole of the UK.
CarmartheshireFHS has census information avaiable for sale and lots of
information available free via their website - have you explored it yet?
There is even more information available if you join as a member.
You have given us quite a good bit of data - so I'm sure there is more
census info I can give you - but let me know first what you have looked
at already so that I don't duplicate effort.
Bye for now
Pat

> Richard Richards was born July 3, 1861 in Laugharn. The following spring
>they moved to a farm called Rogers Well, and later to a farm called Lenox
>Well. He attended the common school at Brook for 10 years, and the family

>1878 he married Martha WILLIAMS, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
>Williams. They had a farm in Pembrokeshire, called Cwmrath, near Merickson.
>They had four children, (Edith, Joshua, John, and Gwendolyn) and they
>immigrated to the USA in Sept. 1886, where his wife died in childbirth in
>1889, and he then married Etta May Mitchell June 2, 1898. Richard was a
>Baptist preacher. In 1907 they had my Great Grandfather Lloyd Raymond
>Richards (my mother was Holly Richards), as well as five other children (Eva
>Anna, Paul, Vera May, Era Belle, and Ralph). Richard died in June of 1951,
>and his wife Etta died December 10, 1966

>James RICHARDS (Richard Richards' father), was born 1833 in Laugharn, died
>1905 in Alma, Nebraska, USA; his father was Richard Richards, and his mother
>was Jane, both of whom were born in Laugharn That Richard died at age 46 in
>Laugharn, and was buried there, as was, later, his wife. James married
>Martha EVANS (b. 1831 in Laugharn, d. 1906 in Alma, Nebraska, USA) in Wales,
>and they immigrated about the same time as their son Richard. James' sister
>Jane married Martha Evans' brother John, so there was a double connection
>there. John and Jane's daughter married a GIBBY, and the Richards family
>corresponded with the Gibby family for years; apparently they were very
>close.

> If anyone has heard of any of these people, I'd love to hear from you!
>Also, if someone could tell me what searching aids there might be available

>genealogical group that one could join, and it looked like there were some
>CD's that one could buy, but I wasn't sure how that all worked. Also, it
>looks like the census' were taken in the 'one' years, rather than the tenth
>year? (1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, etc) What other types of records might
