Mary dau 14 born Llanddowror
Margaret dau 11 born Llanddowror
Ruth dau 9 born Llanddowror
Anne dau 6 born Llanddowror
know the ages are slightly less than they should be, but maybe she had her
reasons.....
If this is them, I have this marriage....

What do you think?
Cannot find a burial for David in Llanddowror.....or thereabouts

Subject: [CMN-L] Phillips family in Llandowror
Dear all,
My first posting so my apologies if I make any mistakes of etiquette.
I am trying to trace my dad's family and have got as far as David
Phillipps, who shows on the 1841 census at being at the Factory,
Llandowror, as a wool carder aged 40. There is also his wife Mary aged 40,
and children John, Sarah, Enoch, Mary, Margaret, Ruth and Howell (my own
great-great grandfather). I have found Howell and Enoch in the later
censuses, but I can't find any of the others (for certain) on the 1851
census so I don't have exact birth years or places of birth for David and
Mary. I believe Mary and David married in 1831 at St Peter's Carmarthen,
but I can't be sure.
I'd like to find out more about David, and try and get back further. I
live in Surrey and have done all I can through the web resources. So do
you think there will be anything of help for me at the Carmarthenshire
Records Office? As it would mean an couple of days off a very busy job to
go down there, I'd like to gauge whether it is worth a trip.
Getting stuck like this is very frustrating - on my mum's side from
Herefordshire I've made it back to the late 1500s, but there are so many
Phillipps in that part of Carmarthenshire (I would guess taking the name
of the Phillipps from Picton who were the local land owners).
Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
Martin Phillips
