My local library has Ancestry available for use on
the library computers. While it is not as convenient
as having it at home, it is free and all the databases
appear to be available. If you aren't a subscriber,
it is worth checking to see if it is available in your local
library.

You are correct, Jeff. I don't have a membership, and I can access the
FreeBMD databases, but not the actual BMD indexes that have been available,
either from 1837-1983, nor 1984-2005.

www.freebmd.org.uk takes you to the transcribed entries done by over 9000
volunteers.
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx has three
sections.
The upper one, which Ancestry calls "Complete BMD Index ranges & Images
1837-1983", which is images of BMD index pages 1837 to 1983, searchable
allegedly on the first and last name on each page (with some errors as you
expect from Ancestry), is now for their subscribers only, having been free
for many months.
The second one, which Ancestry labels "Partial FreeBMD Indexes & Images
1837-1983" is based on an old version of the FreeBMD database, which fact is
fairly well concealed but acknowledged in the Ancestry wording "This
database is made available to Ancestry.com users, courtesy of the volunteers
of the FreeBMD organization. "
It was a condition of the grant by FreeBMD to Ancestry that this database
should remain free to use. If you find that you are unable to access this
database without being a subscriber, please let me know off-list and I will
raise it with FreeBMD trustees.
The third one, which Ancestry labels "Complete BMD Indexes 1984-2005"
appears to be available only to Ancestry subscribers. This was also freely
available until a little over a week ago.
As I have an Ancestry subscription at the moment, I can't tell exactly what
would be available to me for free if I didn't. I should be grateful if
someone who does not have a current Ancestry subscription could confirm
whether what I have said about the three sections is true.

Hello List,
Is it possible if someone could do me a look up please, I've just gone on Ancestry to have a look myself but they are not permitting me anymore look ups on the England & Wales Death index, I thought these were free to search ?
My ancestors name was James Hayes, he died 3 Sept 1942, he lived in Mountain Ash so I am assuming he died there and was registered in Ponty, I haven't got his place of death down ( not sure how I messed that ) so its really just to double check that he died there.
I will be very grateful for any help given.
Thank you very much.

Bryan Richards

I am new to this list and am interested in the following surnames:
Richard NICHOLLS married Mary Ann KIEF (KEEFE) in 1850 in
Cardiff (Mary Ann was originally from Ireland and Richard was
born in Devon, England)
Hannah LAPHAM is in the 1871 Cardiff census with children - Mary,
Patrick, and Joseph. She is in the 1851 census of Newport,
Monmouthshire with her husband George and son Henry.
Mary Ann and Hannah are sisters and eventually end up
in the United States in Massachusetts.
Is anyone else researching these names?

Bryan Lewis and I have been doing extensive research into the above family
for the past month or two. The LEWIS family family farmed the Deri farm from
the 1780s onwards and seem to have had the tenancy of the farm prevously but
possibly sub let it. We have established that tne family descend from an
Edmund Lewis son of Lewis Edward who was baptised at Eglwyslan in 1700,
later lived in Marshfield and then in St Woolos, Newport. His brother Lewis
Edward junior farmed at Kingcoed (Cyncoed) and then at Green Farm,
Michaelston super Ely, and another brother Rowland Lewis farmed in
Eglwysilan parish. Bryan is descended from William Lewis, Publican of the
Hollybush Inn, Whitchurch, who was the son of a third Edmund Lewis of the
Deri and his wife Rachel (nee John) from Castell y Mynach, Pentyrch Parish.
I got involved in the research because Bryan got in touch with me after
seeing on my website that I have an interest in the LEWIS family of the Van,
and he had a family story that his LEWISES were connected to them. Also he
knew that I had interests in the history of Rhiwbina and Whitchurch. I am
probably not connected to his LEWIS family though I do have LEWIS ancestors
from Bedwas, but I was interested because of my childhood memories of the
Deri farm, to say nothing of the fact that I have many times eaten at the
Hollybush.
Anyawy the point of tis mail is to say that if anyone is interested in the
several Edmund Lewises, either of Marshfield, St Woolos, or Whitchurch, or
in the Lewis/Edward family of the Green, Michaelston, or in the descendants
of Rowland Lewis of Eglwysilan we would be most interested to hear from
them.

www.swansea.gov.uk/cambrian takes you to the index for the 'Cambrian'
newspaper published in Swansea from 1804. Swansea seems to have had its
first gas works in 1821, at Dyvatty, but in 1840 we see
31 October 1840 GAS PROPRIETORS OF SWANSEA TO BUILD AN ASSISTANT
WORKS.
19 December 1840 SWANSEA COUNCIL. NOTICE OF MOTIONS RE LEASE OF LAND
NEAR LIME KILNS FOR GAS.
27 November 1841 THE OLD GAS WORKS, SWANSEA: TO LET OR FOR SALE
18 December 1841 SWANSEA NEW GAS WORKS: NOTICE FROM WATKIN MORGAN,
DIRECTOR
It looks as if Edward was living in the part-completed new gas works. That
gas works was on Oystermouth Road, the site of the Tesco Marina supermarket
now. There are still a few bits of the perimeter wall of the old gasworks on
the west end of the site, but that may have been later work than Edward's.
Interestingly, you can see the 'pecking order' of towns in Wales in the
1820s by the date at which they had gas lighting for the first time. Swansea
1821, Carmarthen then Brecon 1822, Cardiff 1823, Abergavenny 1823, Newport
before 1826, Wrexham 1827, Monmouth 1829, Chepstow 1830, Neath 1833,
Presteign 1835, Hay 1841, at which point Llanelly and Merthyr were talking
about it.

Dear Jill
I refer to your 2000 email to Glamorgan list (see below) re Rowlands
families. My first cousin 3 times removed, Emma James WHEELER (b 1861
Cwmsifiog Bedwellty MON) was married Sep qtr 1882 regd Pontypridd 11a/468 to
Morgan ROWLANDS. I have found census records for 1891 and 1901 for this
family, and then started tracing Morgan ROWLANDS.

issue as follows
1 Esther ROWLANDS b 7 Aug 1839 Dinas Colliery
2 Moses ROWLANDS b ca Aug 1843 Llantrisant m ca 1868 to Ann EVANS and had 8
children (he is the one who was involved in establishing Penygraig Colliery
in 1858, I believe)
3 Elizabeth ROWLANDS b ca May 1845 Llantrisant
4 Evan ROWLANDS b ca 1849 Llantrisant
5 Catherine ROWLANDS b ca Nov 1850 Llantrisant
6 Morgan ROWLANDS b ca Aug 1853 Dinas, Llantrisant m Emma James WHEELER and
had at least 5 children (Morgan I or J ca 1883, Elizabeth M ca 1885, Ann R F

7 Rees ROWLANDS b ca 1855 Llanwonno
8 Mary H or A ROWLANDS b ca 1859 Llantrisant
Are you able to verify or refute any of this?

Can anyone help me with this please?
I have an Edward LEWIS, B 1821 in Cardiganshire. Throughout the various censuses the place he was born varies from Llancyfelin to Llangelly.On his marriage cert says he married a Mary LLoyd from Swansea on 24th May 1841. Edward was a shoemaker and his dad listed as Evan Lewis a Mason. Problem is I want to go back a bit and find out more about Evan, but do |I assume he to was from Cardigan? have tried various sites but with the difference in areas mentioned have little to go on am assuming he was born around 1798ish and that he was a Mason by trade, and that he came from the Cardiganshire area, but am getting nowhere., 1 other odd thing was that on the marriage cert it says that Edward's residence at time of marriage was the the gas works Swansea!. His wife's dad a Joshua LLoyd was also a Mason. If anyone could help me out would be most grateful, Thanks.
Dear John
You don't say whether you found these marriage witnesses in Catholic church registers or from civil registration records. These two sources don't always agree.
It certainly wasn't normal practice for priests to enter the maiden instead of married names of women who served as witnesses or baptismal sponsors but I believe I've seen a few such cases.
Two points: First, even in the English village I grew up in, some time after the 1850s, women were often informally referred to by their maiden names by people who had known them a long time. Second, judging from the registers I've seen, some Catholic priests seemed to think that recording names accurately was among their least important tasks.
I would guess that registrars, who attended Catholic weddings after June 1837, tried harder to enter names correctly. Remember that many participants were illiterate and in no position to insist on being entered correctly.
So your three Mary Scannells are more likely to have been the same person if you are relying wholly on Catholic records.
Regarding emigration to Pittsburgh, I have found a large group of related Irish- and Welsh-born immigrants from Merthyr in one Pittsburgh enumeration district in 1880. I think families often emigrated together or one after the other and that what you have found is highly suggestive of a close relationship. But it doesn't prove it. And they may simply have been neighbours not blood relatives.
Best wishes,
Sean (visiting Nebraska at the moment)

I have a general question as it has happened twice in two different Catholic
Churches between the years 1852 & 1859. Mary SCANNELL appears as a witness
to a marriage at either St Illtyd's or St Mary's (I can't remember which),
in 1855. That is the maiden name of my ancestor Mary (nee SCANNELL) BUCKLEY who was married in 1852 until her death in 1884. I know there were other SCANNELL in the Merthyr area and Mary is a common name so I didn't think
much of it.
Now, there is another marriage in Tredegar where the witness is a Mary
SCANNELL in 1859. The wedding party had moved to Tredegar from Merthyr
Tydfil. Is this a coincidence or a custom? Could all 3 actually be the same
person?
One more piece. My BUCKLEY son of the ancestor listed above, married a girl
who was born in Tredegar and whose family moved along with couple #2 above
to the same neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Obviously this one has me guessing. Would anyone like to either dowse my
fire of curiosity or add some kerosene?

Hi John
If Mary married in 1852 I would think she would be using her married name
after that.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding out about something called Cambrian
Works. According to an ancestor's birth certificate, she was born there
in 1840, birth registered in Maesteg. Father was a stonemason.
Is anyone able to direct me to a source where I could find out:
Location of Cambrian Works, presumably somewhere near Maesteg - an
online map would be great
What sort of business it was. (info found by Googling seems a bit
contradictory) was it a smelter, pottery or what?
Thanks,
