I'm not sure why you think the name 'Ebenezer' would be known as something
else or what you mean by 'problems with the name "Ebenezer"'. I think it
may have been a perfectly ordinary name in the nineteenth century though it might sound
unusual today.
I have found a few ancestors and others with that name in north Ceredigion. I suspect it
derives from biblical sources and that it would be pronounced locally with every
'e' a short 'e' (as in 'egg').

Dear Fellow Family Historians
I am having great difficulty finding one of my ancestors called Ebenezer Rees (a
carpenter) according to his daughter (Mary Rees) marriage certificate when she married
Morgan Parry on 30th Dec 1840 in the chapel of Strata Florida in Caron.
I am wondering if the name of EBENEZER is known as anything else. I have found the
residence of Mary at the time of marriage to be Rhosgellugron in Caron, but I have a hunch
that Ebenezer (or whatever his name is!) may have travelled up from either Glamorgan or
maybe Carmarthenshire.
Can anyone shine any light on the name of EBENEZER ?? Has anyone else had problems with
the name EBENEZER
Please also forward this message onto any other message groups that you feel may be able
to help
Many thanks in advance
