Hello all,
Reposting my Welsh family details just in case anyone can help me update
what I have.
My 2 x great grandparents were Mary Owen from 'St Mary's par Carmarthen' b
abt 1820/21 married to John Bridges b abt 1832 Bristol. Mary's parents were
John Owen (cabinet maker) b abt 1793 Carmarthen and Ann, also from
Carmarthen, b abt 1799.
I have been searching for baptisms and a wedding in Carmarthen without any
success. Pauline came up with a couple of credible wedding entries for a
John Owen and an Ann and so far I am working on the probability that Ann's
surname was Cadwallader, but I would like to try search more parish entries
to try and find her baptism and can't really do that until I know the
likelihood of her surname. I wonder if there are any sources for searching
the St Mary's parish register from afar? And which would be the most likely
neighbouring parishes which people migrating to Carmarthen might come from?
This might be useful looking for her parents.
Cheers,
Mike Casselden
