Hi Nancy
the marriage I have took place in 1793 between an Evan Lodwick and Gwenllian
William.....the baptism you have took place some 24 years later.....
Mistakes were made in registers....also in birth certificates....
I have had one child from the registry office with mothers surname Jones
whilst the next childs mother's surname was Davies....mistakes did happen.
On marriages I have seen the vicar write one name, and if they could sign
their name, signed it as another one completely.....I take my index
information from what the vicar wrote.......
Were these two literate on the birth registers.......were there earlier
children mentioned.
The only marriage I have between an Evan Lodwick and Gwen......is the one
above...I will check out this entry in the CRO just to find out for myself..
regards Pauline

Hi Pauline,
Have just looked at my records, and find that I did corroborate the maiden
name of Gwenllian Lodwick, i.e. Thomas. The record was P.R.O. film RG4
3829 Hendre Chapel, Llandebie, Carmarthenshire, Register No. Carmarthen
No.47. This gives the baptism of my g.g.grandmother, Mary Lodwick, on the
24 Jan. 1817. Her parents are shown as Evan Lodwick and Gwenllian
Lodwick.
The former name of her mother was given as Gwenllian Thomas,
spinster.
There are other similar entries for Mary's siblings, and the info. re the
parents are as for Mary.
I don't know how the name of William comes in. Any ideas? Do you think
there was an error in the marriage index?
Nancy
