Hi,
I got excited when I saw you live in Baltimore!
Here is what I have on my CHARLES family from Wales. I have more info on them after they
arrived in Baltimore. Let me know if you find a connection. NOTE: Henry the elder was
also known as Andrew and had a son named David.
Henry Charles aka Andrew Charles for some reason , b. abt 1803- 1813, and wife, Mary, b.
abt. -1815-1817 both b. in Wales , Henry watchman (?) in copperworks in 1870 Baltimore,
MD, and a copper smelterman in 1850, 1860, and 1880
The CHARLES family was also related to my David W. DAVIES, b. abt 1799-1800, Wales, his
brother Daniel DAVIES, b. abt. 1813, Wales (wife was Miriam or Mary or Marian, etc. b.
Wales), Thomas D. Davies (son of David W.), b. abt, 1822 in Wales--all were coppersmelter
men and foremen/superintendents at the copperworks in Baltimore. They came to US in late
1830s (David W.) and 1840s--all the rest and their families.
Daniel Davies lived for awhile at Llwyn Adam farm, near Pontarddulais. I think David W.
Davies' wife Mary is in Cnap Coch in the 1841 census.
Related coppersmelting Llanelli and Swansea-area surnames are REES(e) and JAMES. Also
PHILLIP(s) in Llanelli area, but not sure if they were farmers or coppermen. Some of them
were in Seaside and Wern in Llanelli, smelting copper there.
Any bells?
Thanks!

Subject: [CMN-L] Pugh and Charles Lines
I have found a marriage record for Edward Pugh and Elizabeth Charles dated
1825 in St. Elli Llanelli Parish records; however, I can't find anything
else in the parish records on either of them nor do I have any idea who
their their parents were (no other Pugh at all in the records that I have
seen). They would later emigrate to the US with their children, all of whom
were born in Carmarthenshire (census records), but I can't find any baptism
records for the children either. I'm hoping that someone else has some
information on them. Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
