My greatgrandmother was MARIAH MORGANS, born about 1830 in TREDEGAR,her
father was WILLIAM MORGANS a miner.
She married my greatgrandfather JOHN FURBER on 25th Nov 1850 at St George's
Church, Tredegar. Their place of residence at the time was Beaufort
Brickworks.
I have no pre-marriage info on MARIAH, any connections would be appreciated.
Dear Listers,
This week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales' webpages, just uploaded onto my
website, include:
1. A selection of photographs of Welsh farm buildings, some occupied, some
derelict. The photographs were taken in different locations in Breconshire
and Monmouthshire (eight pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images
of Wales' in December 1998.
2. A two-page exploration the historic ironworks at Blaenavon, now a world
heritage site, in the county of Monmouthshire (seventeen pictures). This
feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in June 2001.
As usual, these webpages will be on display for one week.
'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at
www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm
Kind regards,
John

Hi
Thomas JENKINS was at:
39 James St, Llanover, Monmouth on the 1881 census together with his
family.
I have him in Ohio from 1900 though he arrived in the USA in 1887.
Unfortunately the US Census of 1890 was destroyed in a fire.
John.

Hello Listers,
there is a warning from the Blaenau Gwent Register Office in this evenings
South Wales Argus regarding purchasing expensive copies of BMD's via the
internet with prices ranging from £19 to £60 and obtaining a BMD from a Register
Office is a statutory fee of £7.
They say that a number of web sites offering this service are unreliable and
certificates are found to be incorrect.
And anyone wanting further information can contact them either on the phone
or email address.
Regards Barbara
G'day Gill
Afraid it's t'ther way round. My Martha Prosser married Edwin Jones in 1874.
Perhaps they may be a further generation back as it seems that the families
have used the convention of oldest daughter taking mother's maiden name in
two generations.

Hi Helen.
Thanks for the info, adds a little to what I already had. Any chance of
getting into the 1930 Census? I have the 1920 census detail.
Would also appreciate it much if you could tell me where I can get their
Naturalization documents?
Thanks

Hello Listers,
I am new to this list and just beginning my research in Wales.
Would sks with access to UK Ancestry mind looking in the 1861 Census for me
please, to see if they can find a James & Elizabeth WATTS with at least 2
daughters - Barbara (Sarah is her middle name) and Mary A. Barbara was my
great grandmother.
I have been kindly given them in 1851 & 1871 and going by FreeBMD, I believe
James and
Elizabeth were married in 1849. Elizabeth and the 2 girls emigrated
to Australia in 1876. I suspect that James may have died in 1874.
Birthdates are James c1818/19; Elizabeth c1821/22/27 (I think she may have
fibbed on immigrating); Mary A 1860; Barbara 1864.
I believe that Elizabeth (nee WILLIAMS) was born in Woolwich, Kent; & James
in Goetre,
Monmouthshire in Wales. Im pretty sure the 2 girls were born in
Monmouthshire too.
I would be very interested to see if there were any other children; and
what the occupations were in the 1861 census.
Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated also.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Estelle
(in Australia)

When looking for immigration to the UNITED STATES, don't forget CANADIAN ship records. My grandfather, MATTHEW [MCNAMARA] MACK b: 1878 TIR PHIL, GLAMORGANSHIRE, WALES sailed from LIVERPOOL to QUEBEC CITY in 1903.
He then entered the US through BUFFALO, NEW YORK in 1904 to come to the SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA coal fields where his sister, JOHANNA [MCNAMARA] DOWNEY lived.
Johanna was 24 years older than Matthew and she left Wales in 1871 seven years before my grandfather was born. Their first meeting as brother and sister was when he came to America.

Scranton PA is the county seat for Lackawanna County. This is right in the
middle of the largest anthracite coal mining region in America. The coal
mines run as far south as Schuylkill County. The coal mining here is not very
active lately partly because they had a catastrophic accident in the 1950' and
the river flooded most of the mines. They owners had allowed the mining to
go too close to the river.
My great grandparents came to Luzerne Co (right below Lackawanna Co) from
Aberdaare, Glamorgan, Wales with all their children. The 2 oldest sons had
gone ahead, gotten jobs., secured a job for their father and gotten them a
rental house to live in. I know they already had close relatives in the area.
They seemed to go to the same church and live with/in a few minutes walk from
each other.
My Grandmother said that at the same time, they were advertising for coal
miners to come to America, they were advertising for miner's in Patagonia, SA.,
I imagine that the mining in Patagonia would be for silver (Agent refers to
silver in the Spanish language.
Here is a newly-discovered (new to me at least) site with a treasure trove
of archive documents - http://www.footnote.com. It is not specifically a
genealogy site, but it does have a lot of material that would be very useful
to a genealogist or historian.
There are Pennsylvania Archives documents that you can view for free (other
documents require a subscription). Included in the for-fee documents are
also petitions and declarations for naturalization in New York,
Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. One might get lucky and find naturalization
documents there without having to get them from the courthouse.

Thanks Kathy,
Taylor is in Lackawanna County, near Scranton. Tons of Welsh immigrants
ended up in that immediate vicinity for the prolific mining industry at the
time. Hence, my ancestors. Did you apply to the county courthouse in the
town where they settled? I am unsure of which port they came through, but I
would have guessed New York. Seems to have been the major point of entry.
Did you need exact dates?
Thanks again...I'll see if this works for me.

Beth Anne,
My Irish coal-mining ancestor came in through Castle Garden from Scotland in
1880 and went to Tioga County, Pennsylvania. I was able to get my
great-grandfather's declaration of intent (to apply for citizenship) and his
naturalization petition from the county court house. He filed his intent in
1886 and was naturalized in 1897 in the Court of Common Pleas for Tioga
County.
I sent my request to the court house by snail mail, along with a small fee,
and they were able to send me photocopies of the papers. There wasn't a lot
of information, but it's still nice to have.
I was going to check online for you, but there are several towns with the
name of Taylor in Pennsylvania, and I didn't know which county was the right
one. But the county courthouse nearest to where your ancestor lived is a
good place to start looking for naturalization documents.

Where can you locate copies of Naturalization papers? Nearly all of my
family emigrated from Wales to Taylor, PA, USA in the mid 1870s.
Thanks!

Hi, Beth. My GGrandfather's naturalization papers were issued in 1884 by
the Court of Common Pleas of Clearfield County, PA, where he settled after
emigrating from Garndiffaith, Trevethin Parish, MON in 1879. Taylor, PA looks to
be in Lackawanna County, so the Court House there would be a good place to
start looking for them. Perhaps there is a Historical or Family History
Society in Lackawanna County that would help you.
