All -
My ggggrandfather was John William. He married Catherine Bassett in Llanelly Parish on
April 21, 1829. John died in Tycoch, Loughor, Llanelly on December 27, 1850 at age 47.
Catherine died in Upper Loughor, Llanelly on March 23, 1892 at age 82. In 1841 John and
Catherine were residing in Peullwynrodynfach, Loughor, Llanelly with their four daughters;
Anne, Margaret, Catherine, and Esther, and John's mother, Anne William (widow), age
60. John had at least one sister, Margaret, who married Thomas Harry in Llanelly Parish on
February 5, 1836. Margaret was born about 1813. Would anyone be able to assist me in
identifying the parents or baptismal information for John William and/or Catherine
Bassett? The 1841 census indicates that everyone was born in Carmarthenshire, but I cannot
find their records.
Thank you, Paul
