Subject: [Cmn-L] Lookup please WILLIAM THOMAS REES
Hi,
I recently joined the Carmarthenshire FHS with a view to finding out about
my grandfather's family. Family folklore ( a bible) has my grandfather
WILLIAM THOMAS REES born 24 August 1852 in Llanelli. I can pick him up in
the 1881 census living in Hirwaun Glamorgan married to a Catherine X and
having two children (my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Thomas) - I remember
visiting them both with my mother in the 30's and 40's.
My questions are (1) Was WILLIAM THOMAS REES born in or near Llanelli
in
August 1852? and (2) who were his parents and siblings? I am curious
to
know where he and the family were living in 1851 and 1861 and whether
there
is any record of a marriage of WILLIAM THOMAS REES to a Catherine in
Carmarthen shire say around 1870-1880. Tracing WILLIAM THOMAS REES has
stumped both me living in Ontario and a cousin living in Swansea!
