Hello,
Does anyone know if there was a place called Victoria in Monmouthshire in
1871, and where it was?
There was an Ann Bowen who was maybe born in Victoria.
Thank you very much.
Elizabeth
hello list
some time ago I was given some information by another list member
taken from the index for the 1861 census for Monmouthshire. The entry was for
a Henry Gough, age 23: Daniel Gough, age 14 and Mercy Gough age 11. I now
believe these to be part of my family tree and was hoping that someone would have
access to the full census and could supply me with the details of this family.
The area that they were enumerated in was in or around Pontypool. They may
well have been in the same place or in Abersychan for the 1851 census also.
Any details that anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated
Jayne
Dear Listers,
This week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales' features, just uploaded onto my
website, focus on:
1. The 15th Century Tretower Court near Crickhowell in Breconshire. This
feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in October 2002 (twenty
photos). This selection replaces the less detailed feature on Tretower Court
displayed on 'Retrospective Images of Wales' last week.
1. The former mining village of Cwmafan (Cwmavon) in the county of
Glamorgan. This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in January 1999
(five photos).
To view my Retrospective webpages, go to
http://home.clara.net/wfha/walespic/retro/retro.htm
Enjoy!!
Best wishes,
John

Hello,
There is a page on rootsweb.com (freepages) that lists Trevethin baptisms 1813 - 1823. I am wondering if there is another site which would list baptisms after 1823? I am particularly interested in the years 1824 - 1830. Does anyone know?
Regards and TIA,

Hi Wendy, Jojo and Listers,
You lucky thing, Wendy!
Along with Clutton, Cornwall is one of my favourite places!

Jojo, you might like to know that I, too, have a tenuous link with the
CARTERs, or at least my husband, Ian, does.
Sarah Ann Windmill EVANS, who married the High Littleton-born Jesse CARTER,
was sister-in-law to Thomas PURNELL who was the brother of Ian's 3x
great-grandfather George PURNELL.
Ian's PURNELL family moved from Clutton to Monmouthshire like so many other
Somerset families.

Hello everyone
I was wondering if anyone could help me with my brickwall I seem to have hit concerning my search for my Morgan ancestors.
I've been sent a will with a distribution list of a Miss Annie MORGAN who died in London in 1956 from a great niece of hers who lives in Ebbw Vale. Annie was one of 5 children. Her brother's were called William, Thomas, Jack and she had a sister called Eva. Thomas and wife (name unknown) had a son called William. William and his wife Catherine (nee Edwards) are my great great great grandparents who married in 1890. I have looked for Annie and her siblings on the 1881 and asked for a search on the 1891 census but have only found a family with 3 extra siblings with names I don't recognise. Am I looking for the wrong details or have I found the correct details but Annie didn't want these extra people on her will. Can anyone out there help me, so that I continue my search.

Hello Faye,
Do you know what part of Ebbw Vale they lived in? I have 1891 census images
and could look for you but there is no index so it would be easier if you
could point to an address.

Thanks, Pam. Jojo

Hi, Wendy: Well, isn't this interesting! Just in case my Jesse from Aberystruth/Abertillery turns out to be related to your Jesse of Clutton, could you confirm the following:
Is this your family?

CARTER, Jesse, 38 (age discrepancy from previous), coal miner, born High Littleton
Sarah A., 29, Clutton
James 9, Clutton
Samuel 3, Clutton
Mary E., 1 Clutton
And this one from the 1881-5 Lions Place, Clutton (actually written as Sions Place):
CARTER, Sarah, , w, 49, Clutton

Hi Jojo
Have just come back from a short break in Cornwall and find all this mail on the Jesse Carter families!
Thought you might like to know that I am related to the Jesse Carter, who married Sarah Ann Windmill Evans, daughter of Samuel Evans. Sarah Ann was a sister to my gg grandfather, Joel Windmill Evans.
Let me know if I can be of any help, but it does look as though your Jesse Carter was the one in Abergavenny in 1881.
Good luck, Wendy near Usk, Monmouthshire (about 8 miles from Abergavenny!)

To Pam, Kathy, and Josephine:
As Rootsweb list content often appears via Google, people searching for either of these two families in the future will be most delighted when all this material falls into their laps. I have not given up all hope that there could be a relationship between the families (location and name similarity) and to that end, I have snail-mailed one of the two ladies in Utah who have submitted recent CARTER material to the online IGI in the hope of enlightenment.
So, thanks first to Pam for the 1851 lookup. The children's Welsh birthplaces along with another piece of evidence I received after I posted makes it highly likely that these were the first two children of my couple.
Thanks also to Kathy for posting the 1881 census entry which acted as a reference point for Josephine. And, yes, Kathy, I will send for Ann's birth certificate (second quarter, 1849, Abergavenny) even though it's one of those dang entries from an unreadable part of the index and hope the GRO doesn't charge me the regular rate for a search; however, it will be worth it, whatever the cost, to get Sarah's maiden name. That marriage entry you saw from late 1850 is probably the one for the other Carter Jesse and Sarah, whom Josephine found on the 1851 Clutton, Somerset census,
And, last but not least, thanks to Josephine for taking the time to forward the extensive Carter family parish records entries (much more interesting than the dry stuff on the IGI) and then doing further research to identify that family as being one of the "other" Jesse/Sarah couples.
This was the other piece of evidence I referred to above:
On the 1881 entry, there's a granddaughter named, Sarah E. Brown, born c. 1869. Since the four brothers born between Ann and Edward William (also on the 1881) all married between 1871-1877, none of their daughters could have produced Sarah E., but their sister, Ann, from the 1851 census could have. Josephine, if you look at 5318 69 40 again, you'll see an Ann Brown, 22, and a Sarah Elizabeth Brown, 3, right after the three last daughters (also on the 1881). So, there's a distinct possibility that this is the married Ann Carter and that she's either living with Jesse and Sarah and family or is right next door. I'll have to wait for the arrival of the 1871 Mon. census to check this out.
In closing, thanks again to everybody for your help. I wouldn't be getting very far with my genealogy without the help of volunteers. Jojo

Hi Jojo
I purchased the original census on fiche from the PRO. All censuses of England and
Wales are available from them, however they are copies of the original handwritten
census pages and unindexed and therefore can entail many hours of searching unless
you also have a name index [see below].
The name indexes for MON are gradually being published by Gwent FHS and are
available for purchase through their website.

Would anyone advise me on how to find a birth registration of a RICHARD
HOSKINS/HOISKINS? for around 1770?
I have found his marriage record in the Aberystruth parish records, however,

further back than his possible birth date. Could it be that some births were
simply not registered, (obviously he could have come from a different
parish)?
==================
Dear Sophie,
I assume you are referring to baptism records rather than birth records
(birth registrations did not commence until 1837).
There could be at least three reasons why you haven't found a record of
Richard's baptism:
1. He was baptised in a nonconformist church or chapel rather than in the
parish church (do you know whether his family were dissenters?).
2. He was baptised in a different parish (was he still alive in 1851 to
enable you to check his birthplace in the census?).
3. He wasn't baptised at all (not everyone was baptised).
According to Phillimore, the Aberystruth parish records have survived back
to 1736, but that doesn't necessarily mean the records are complete. There
could be gaps. The Gwent Record Office staff would know is this is the case.

Hi everyone
This is my 2nd mailing of the day (!) (and 2nd
mailing to list)
Would anyone be able to give me advice on how to find
a birth registration of a RICHARD HOSKINS/HOISKINS?
for around 1770?
I have been to the Gwent Record office & looked up in
the Aberystruth parish records, where I have found
this chap's marrige record (to a Sarah Andrew in Nov.
1805), however, I cannot find any reference to his
birth, although the records (I think) go further back
than his possible birth date. Could it be that some
births were simply not registered, (obviously he could
have come from a different parish) - does anyone have
any comments on where I could go next as I am
stumped?!
Thanks to you all in advance
Sophie (London)
