Good afternoon everyone
I am searching for the death/burial of my Grandfather Thomas Ellis who was born about 1875 in Wrexham. He and my Grandmother married in 1901 in this Church. I am fairly sure that he died between 1925/35 from consulting the electoral registers when the family were living in Treharris. I have recently managed to locate the grave of his wife, my grandmother, Mary Ann Ellis which is in Beechgrove, Treharris but he is not an 'occupant'.
Merthyr bereavement services have confirmed that he does not appear in any other municipal cemetery within their area. I seem to remember that this Church no longer exists and the records are iin Cardiff . I do not know whether there was a graveyard with this Church.
I would be most grateful for any information or help.
best wishes gwen
Re my previous post on the marriage of John Howells and Annie Walters I
have had a look at the photo of the record which indicates Place/Parish as
Swansea, St James if that information is of any help? To save referring
back, I am trying to find the physical location of the record.
thanks
Christine

Hello everyone,
Could sks please tell me if a marriage certificate of 1853 would say if a
woman was previously divorced ?
cheerio
Irene
Jeff
thanks for this info its very helpful. When its all but impossible to physically visit the area the transcriptions are vital so its disappointing when they get them wrong - I know its not an easy task to transcribe etc but its a pity that having been told of the errors they have not amended them.

Subject: Re: [GLA] Howells and Walters
As St James's was not built until about 1870 (1867 actually), it has to have
been St Mary's. I have previously reported to the list that there are some
batches of register entries for parishes in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire
which are shown on Findmypast incorrectly.
See http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Swansea/ about the Church Records.
There are errors on that page as well, I think, but the dates for which
registers exist provide a good indication of when the 19th-century churches
in Swansea were built. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Swansea/StJames/
says 1867.
The Cambrian agrees
RELIGION, ANGLICAN 26 July 1867 P5.FIRST BAPTISM & MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZED AT
ST. JAMES'S CHURCH,FYNONE.PRESENTATIONS BY MAYOR.
Jeff
PS if you find a 19th-century marriage said by Findmypast to have been at
Glantawe parish church, it was almost certainly at Llansamlet.
There are also some marriages shown as St James's in Findmypast which were
actually at St Peter's, Cockett, Swansea

Hello can anyone help with the location of a marriage certificate for John
Howells (born in 1809 in Lancashire according to Ancestry) to Ann Walters.
The marriage took place 25th October in 1831. The information is taken from
a photo of a Parish record on an Ancestry tree, but the certificate doesn't
state the name of the parish or church, the witnesses were William Davies
and James Evans. It's likely Ann and John were from Swansea. They possibly
had a son John born in 1837, and went to Australia at some stage where John
senior died in 1885. His occupation was wheelwright.
Thanks, Christine (Australia) on behalf of John and Ann's second Great
Grandaughter, also in Australia.

Not as far as I know Irene, it would give her status as spinster or widow
but not as divorcee. It may also give her previous "known by" name/s i.e.
maiden name, previous married name. I have one instance of that in my

Hi all
I have a little conundrum.... don't we all? I have one Linda Rosella
Rogers, born Wrexham district 1902, Denbighshire, Sep Qtr, 11b 265,
daughter of Percy Anderson Rogers & Florence Mary Perkins of 44
Rhossdu Rd, Wrexham, and the only Linda Rogers shown in civil
registration to have been born between 1900-1904 (except for one
Linda Sarah Rogers born Suffolk 1902).
Okay, so now I find a marriage (and again the only marriage - and no
early deaths prior) of one Linda Rosella Rogers to Luther G (George)
Robbins, Pontypridd district Sep Qtr 1922, 11a 1471. At this stage I
am being cautious as marriage certificates are expensive. The 1911
census on FMP shows only one Linda Rogers who fits, living
Glamorganshire, Pontypridd, sub-district Llanwanno, 207 Penrhiwceiber
Road, with head of family Robert Rogers, coal miner hewer 61 & Martha
Rogers 62. Linda is not shown to have any relationship with the
above-mentioned, but is born 1902 Denbighshire, Brymbo (near
Wrexham). This certainly fits, but what she is doing in
Glamorganshire is anyone's guess.
The deaths of Linda Rosella Robbins (nee Rogers) and Luther George
Robbins are found in the Fylde district of Lancashire 1972 and 1970
with correct ages re. birth dates. There are three possible children
to this couple (taken from registration) Robert E, Pontypridd 1924;
Dilys, Pontypridd 1929 and Gwyneth 1935, Pontypridd.
I cannot locate Luther George Robbins on the 1911 census (FMP) but
perhaps he is mistranscribed and may well be on Ancestry.com.
I have a strong feeling about this Linda Rosella Rogers. Does anyone
think I am on the right track?
Robert Rogers and his wife Martha were living at Brymbo (nr. Wrexham)
in the 1901 census and though it would be stretching the imagination
way out of beam, I have a Martha (maiden name also Rogers, so far not
found a marriage) born same year as this Martha, who could be great
aunt to Linda Rosella. Hmmm, interesting. May be just a coincidence.
Any thoughts or help graciously accepted.
Cheers

Royal Field Artillery.
These details are written on the back of a photo my grandfather sent back
home during WW1.
I have no idea who this man is or where he is from, but my grandfather was
from Cardiff, so I guess my search should start there.
Michael's Medal Card is in the National Archives, , I can't find his war
record.
All my Roath Roamer men are fairly easy to trace, but unfortunately, this
one was not a Church member.
Any idea on how to narrow it down a bit would be appreciated.
Cheers,
RR

Some old letters that my late auntie Lena gave me way back in 1981 kick-started my
Research in to the past.
These two old letters were written by my Grandfather's Auntie Minnie.[1861-1943]
She being Minnie WHITE.
I think they called her Minnie because she was so small.
Anyway the second letter she wrote was dated 27th;of January 1916.
In the thick end of W.W.I;
It is from "Ivydene",487 Gloucester Road, Horfield,Bristol.
[Today,a member of my Mum's family is still there]
Auntie Minnie writes about this terrible war.The letter's were addressed to my Grandfather George Harry Edward WHITE,[1876-1936]
Sh mentions your Cousins are all in the Army.
Some of them she names like:-
"Your Uncle Charlie JENNINGS three sons have joined the Lord Derby Group.
Also mentioned is my Grandfather's Cousin Bert WHITE,who is his Uncle Ted;s son.
She also says" I suppose you heard that your Uncle Willie YEOMAN's only son was killed in action." and adds:-
Your late Uncle Walter's son is on H.M.A.S;Australia somewhere in the North Sea.
He has come to see us twice and hopes to come again in the near future.
Now the last part I found out a good deal from that little mention of H.M.A.S;Australia.
This ship was a Heavy Cruiser,of the Australian Navy.
Uncle Walter's son was Leslie WHITE who was a Taxi Driver in Melbourne,and was killed in an accident when he was only in his 30's.
The letter also enabled me to connect to some Second and third Cousin's all living in Melbourne.
One of them being a Retired Photographer,who sent me a large folder of old Photograph's of my Family on my Mother's side.
These were the WHITE Family of Bristol.
These old Photograph's together with much Family History were deposited in Bristol Records Office back in the 1980's by a Mrs Dorothy YOUNG.
Her mother collected them over the years.Her mother being Mrs;Clara WALL who lived to 101,and died in Bristol in 1953.
Her Husband being the Shoemaker/Poet of Bristol.
He was John William Henry WALL,and there's
a Plaque of him on the corner of a Bristol Street.
Clara WALL,nee WHITE was my Great,Grandfather's Sister.
Willie YEOMAN's above,was a relative of my Great,Grandmother Amy Kate WHITE, nee YEOMAN.[1856-1897]
So lots can be learnt from a couple of old letters.
These by the way were written in Pencil.
Cheers Graham.

Subject: [GLA] Too many JONES OT
I have just discovered, if my findings are correct though pretty certain
that they are, that not only do I have a John James JONES who married a Mary
JONES, they at one time of Merthyr Tydfil, and a John JONES of Cadoxton
Juxta Neath.
I have just found his brother Jenkin JONES who married another JONES - being
Elizabeth JONES both of Cadoxton juxta Neath.
Oh bother the Jones! Sorting them out is truly hard as, as usual they named
their children the same given names, in true Welsh fashion.
It is Jenkin who in 1841 census was living with Elizabeth at Pencriag yr
afon, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, and who was at Tyla Nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath,
Neath Higher 1851 census that I enquired about earlier.
By 1861 they had upped sticks again and lived at Plas y nant, Cadoxton Juxta
Neath.
My best wishes, Jill

Hi Jill,
Your previous note asked where Tyla Nant was in C-j-N.
Now you have told us who was there and when, I can help a little.
The description of the census district reads:
"Neath Upper hamlet in Cadoxton parish. The whole of the hamlet of
Neath higher including Lamb & Flag and Maesmeling villages."
[Maesmelyn or Maesmelin are the usual spelling]
Lamb & Flag is a pub in Glynneath and is marked on the Google map of the
village. Jenkin and Elizabeth Jones are at schedule 102. Tyla nant
seems to be a single property in the street, Tai yn yr heol. at
schedule 96 is the Dinas Rock Inn , and before that Vaughan's Terrace.
Dinas Rock Inn has been discussed previously on this list. See
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GLAMORGAN/2002-01/1010142742
If you put 'Dinas Rock, Glynneath' into Google maps it shows it situated
on the High St., between the A4109 and A465. However, the archived note
indicates there may have been another of the same name in Pontneddfechan.
Dinas Rock itself is a well known feature in the waterfalls district. See
http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/WalesMer...
Browsing the other way through the 1851 census, 111 is Cefn John and 112
Abernant fach. The latetr has also been discussed previously, see
archived message
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GLAMORGAN/2006-01/1136987603
which also gives you a ling to abernant fach on the old maps web site,
and puts it close to modern Lancaster Close, Glynneath. The coordinates
given just show Dinas Rock Inn on the Eastern edge, so Tyla Nant would
seem to be somewhere between the two.
Hope that helps,
Dai

I can commiserate with you. I'm working on a John DAVIS son of John DAVIS.
Wonder which surname is more prevalent in Glamorganshire? I seem to
remember when I visited in 1981 the telephone book had 25 pages of DAVIES, 5
pages of DAVIS, and 1 page of John DAVIES.
Peace,
Jim
Looking for information on my great great great grandfather Richard EDWARDS and his son Thomas J EDWARDS (1840-1900) who immigrated from Glamorgan to Pennsylvania around 1854. A biography piece written on Thomas says his mother Elizabeth died when he was a child.
