Hi folks,
I am new to the list and researching the family of my 2 x great granny Mary
OWEN from Carmarthen. It seems she was christened at St Peter's on 12
December 1819 and her parents John OWEN (cabinet maker) and Anne THOMAS were
married there on 4 November 1817.
The family moved on to Bristol where Mary married John BRIDGES. Their
daughter Amelia Matilda BRIDGES married my great grandfather Alfred
BROUGHTON who was the brother of Matilda BROUGHTON from Worcester, who in
turn was the mother of the famous music hall star known as Vesta Tilley -
you have to be over a certain age to recognise the name ;-)
I am very keen to discover more about my Welsh family and would love to hear
from anyone able to give some guidance or are connected. Thanks in
anticipation.
Cheers,
Mike Casselden in Newcastle Upon Tyne
