Hi Everyone,
I am new to the list and am hoping someone can help me. After searching
for three years, I have finally found some information my great-grandfather.
We had been searching in the Glamorgan are but yesterday I received his
marriage certificate and the birth certificates for two of his children and
found he had been hiding in the Monmouth area.
I am searching for Joseph Clapp, son of Charles and Mary Clapp. On the
certificates I received, he married Catherine Gibbon in April of 1863 in
Rhymey. His residence at the time was in Tredegar.
Could some kind person check the census reports for him and/or his father.
He was born in March, 1841. On all his U.S. Census reports, he makes the
distinction that he was born in England and his wife was born in Wales. I
thought if we could find him on a census report, it might show where in
England he was born. Just when he came to the U.S. is in question but two
of his children were born in Tredegar in 1863 and 1866.
Any help someone can offer is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Lynn Eivers
