Hi Christine,
My Ggfather was a Thomas Davies who according to the 12891
cencus was born in Llanegwad in 1855 and married a Jane. In 1891 they were
living in PORTH and had 4 Children ie; William, Elizabeth(My grandmother),
Mary Jane and Sarah. Do these ring any bells.
Regards Phil

Dear Pauline and other listers
I have bought the Llanegwad Parish Records CD-ROM, and have found a little
information relating to my husband's ancestors. David and Amelia Davies
lived at (G)Alltygoleu Isaf (now a pottery) in Felingwm Uchaf after their
marriage at St Teilo's Parish Church, Brechfa in 1857. As St John's Church
did not exist at that time, I was wondering if Amelia & David had their
children baptised at St Teilo's instead, or if they could have been non
conformist. We visited the area last year and in August this year, and
unfortunately, on both occasions the Carmarthen Record Office was closed,
otherwise we would have carried out look ups ourselves. I was wondering if
anyone could check the Baptism, Marriage and Burial records for me either in
Brechfa itself or at the Record Office.
I am prepared, if necessary, to pay a fee for any search carried
out.
The details of the family are as follows:-
David DAVIES born c1833 Llanegwad (father Thomas JAMES)
Amelia DAVIES born c1834 Llanwinio (father Joseph JONES)
Thomas DAVIES born c1859 Llanegwad
Sylvanus DAVIES born 1865 Llanegwad
Essex DAVIES born c1867 Llanegwad
Ada(h) DAVIES born c1874 Llanegwad
Thank you in advance for any information provided.
Christine
p.s. If anyone can find the baptism entry of Amelia JONES in Llanwinio in
c1833/4 I
would also be very grateful.
