Subject: [Cmn-L] Henry Edwards HILL of St Clears
I am looking for a house which, in a letter written to family in
Australia
by Henry Hill in 1861, was described as
Belle View
Pensarn
Carmarthen
This was where HEH and his wife, Mary Anna, lived after their marriage in
1855 at
St Clears, while sons of HEH by his previous marriage to Mary Waters
were being educated at Carmarthen Grammar School. They later went to live
permanently in New South Wales.
Has anybody got a clue where this house was or is?
I have also sought, unsucessfully so far, the record of the marriage of
Henry
Edwards Hill, widower, and Mary Anna Johns at St Clears in 1855 (date
7th December). It could have been in a non-conformist church, as Mary
Anna's father was the Rev. David Johns, known as 'Missionary Johns of
Madagascar'. I believe he was a Congregationalist. His wife had a school
in St Clears and Mary Anna was her assistant.
Any leads would be gratefully received.
