Hello all,
My ggg-grandmother was Harriett (sometimes Harriott) Hicks born Abergavenny
ca 1819 going by her marriage (1841)certificate; father John - a finer.
Harriett & her husband were living in Pentyrch. I know from the orphanage
placement papers for her grandaughter that Harriett had a brother called
Elijah and a Urina (looks like Theann) Hicks - later Davies, who may be a
sister, signed as witness on my gg-grandmothers wedding cert.
LDS shows a Harriett Hicks born 2 May 1819, christened 23 May 1819 Wesleyan,
Abergavenny, Monmouth, England as well as an Elijah in 1821, christened at
the same location; parents are John & Mary (no maiden name).
There are eight children with parents John & Mary, christened at the same
place but they may be two families, since the earliest dob is 1819, the
latest 1841, with a 9 year gap from 1823 to 1832 where no births are
recorded. There is a ninth birth, Abigail born 1828 whose parents are John
Hicks & Mary Jones - I tend to think she maybe of the same family since
Harriet named one of her daughters Abigail.
LDS has only one marriage of a John Hicks in Monmouth to Anne Jarrett in
1830;
1837online has Benjamin (1839) & Emma (1841) born in Chepstow;
neither of these births are in FreeBMD;
The quandary? Where do I go from here? Hopefully someone will have a
suggestion ;>)
