Hi Garth
Thanks for posting details of the Archives Office of Tasmania website.
I'm interested in the ship 'Borneo' (master Richard M. Whichelo) which
called at Hobart, Van Diemen's Land, in October 1828 and February 1829. I've
managed to pick up the specific dates for her sailing to Sydney, New South
Wales, in December 1828 and re-arrival at Hobart in February 1829 through
the website. Previously these dates were unknown.
It looks like the arrivals have only been completed for surnames A-K at
present, so there should be more 'Whichelo' entries appearing later.
Interestingly, the ship's first arrival in October 1828 is not yet included
in the index.
Best regards

If your ancestor came to Australia as a convict, you can get their records
online at: http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/nameindexes
This was also a major 'receival point' into australia of convicts, so if
they went to other parts of Australia afterwards, they may also appear here.
Other Australian libraries may also have similar online access for other
related archives.

Hi,
I am trying to find the parents of William Leslie Jones who appears on the 1911 census with his grandparents Enoch and Ann JONES of Penrhos, Garth, Llanafanfawr, Brecknockshire. I have found a birth registered at Builth in the March quarter of 1906 for him but wondered if any lister knew of this family please?
Many thanks
Tricia Heseltine
Hi All
My Great Grandfather John Jones was born sometime in the 1840's in
Cathedine (Date of Birth various considerably on various censuses). The
only parents that would match are Henry Jones and Elizabeth Price, but
it is rather tentative. Which parish would this belong to and are there
any on-line access to such records?
Thanks
David Hodgson-Brown
Good morning from the USA!
I'm a little slow responding to the New Year's suggestion that we
post a list of our family-history interests. I'm doing it now, with
the hope that maybe this will be the year that somebody sees a
connection with my line!
My 2X great-grandmother was Elizabeth Powell, born around 1827 in or
near Llanelly, Breconshire.
Her father was William Powell. I don't know anything about her mother.
Elizabeth married John Dent Davis/Davies, also born around 1827 in/
near Llanelly, Brecs.
Elizabeth and John had five children; I have their birth certificates.
David, born 1856 in Cwmdu, Glamorganshire
John, born Cwmdu, Glams
Henry, born 1861, born Briton Ferry
Ann/Annie, born 1863, in Llanelly, Breconshire (my great-grandmother)
Mary Pauline, born 1865, in Llanelly, Brecs
Elizabeth, John, and the five children emigrated to the USA in 1868,
living for a short while in Kentucky, then
moving permanently to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area.
Elizabeth's father, William, followed them
at some future time; I have not been able to find a record of his
emigration, but he is buried in the same cemetery
as Elizabeth and John. His wife is not there -- I surmise that she
died before he emigrated.
Despite investigating many marriages with the right names and
plausible time frame, I've never found the
marriage of Elizabeth and John. (I'm assuming they would have
married no more than two or three years prior to David's
1856 birth, and think the marriage would have been in the Llanelly,
Brecs, area. )
If anybody sees any connections, or has any ideas on how or where I
can search further, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Norma Whitaker

I've had a quick look (District 2b image 14 out of 15) and I think the
wording you have is slightly wrong. I believe the first word is 'Tn' ie
Town.
The second bit does look like '& Libs' - I wonder if it means 'and
liberties'? It's a phrase I've heard but was not sure of the meaning. An old
Collins dictionary I have suggests the meaning of rights or privileges
conferred by grant so I wonder if it relates to the status of the town by
charter? I thought it maybe only meant the land around, but maybe it's more
specific?
I've tried looking at Genuki, especially from The National Gazetteer 1868
and Lewis's Topographical Dictionary 1833
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MGY/Machynlleth/Gaz1868.html
but it doesn't provide a specific answer to the question. However it has
very interesting background about the town.

The FreeBMD site has lumped all the various sub districts that came
under Machynlleth together whereas North Wales BMD have seperated the
various sub registers.
FreeBMB is notorious for missing entries as the earlier indexes are
handwritten and sometimes even illegible and hard to transcribe.
Also the indexes themselves are problematic. At the end of each quarter
the local registrars compiled a mnual index from their registers and
sent it to London where all the indexes were rewritten in alphabetical
order for the whole of England & Wales.
So there is a two step copying process and there are many errors and
omissions in the central registrar's indexes.
The best place to get the information is the original registrar's
register as that is complete (well there have been the odd events not
recorded but very seldom). but access is restricted and normally the
public cannot view the registers and can only purchase a certificated
extract from the register. In the case of North Wales BMD they have
negotiated access with the local registrars and in return for this
privelege have a link to a form to apply to the registrar for a copy of
the event which is an income stream for the registrar.
There are several counties who have joined this scheme that originally
started in Cheshire.

Thanks for your suggestion. You do not say from which part of Wales your
ancestors originated but there were some 57000 David Davies in the 1841
census. As my Davids were born approx 1779 and 1819, it is unlikely there is
a connection with yours born in 1812.
Yes, it is certainly a difficult name to work with!
regards,
Robert Wade

I have a ggrandfather named David D. Davis/Davies (that's on his tombstone)
who was born 1812 in Wales, died 6/1/1883 Came to USA family lore with his
father Thomas E. Davis born 1781 died 4/15/1871 and his son named Thomas
born Wales 1842, died 10/12.1883. They are buried in a small cemetery here
in Salisbury Center, central NY.
He met and married a second wife Mary Roberts aboard ship. First wife I
assume passed away in Wales. Do you think we have a connection? It is a
difficult name to research!
LIVE SIMPLY, LOVE GENEROUSLY, CARE DEEPLY, SPEAK KINDLY

Hi Robert,
Can't help you with most of your questions, but I do know where Garth is.
Go to Multimap:
http://www.multimap.com/?client=public&lang=&advanced=&db=GB
Put 'Machynlleth' in the search box.
Change to OS map and zoom in and you'll find that Garth is a hamlet about 2
1/2 Km north-east of the town centre.
Also, if you go to Old Maps:
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
Enter the co-ordinates 276500 346300 and choose the 1891 Montgomeryshire
map, then press the 'enlarge' icon at the bottom right (little box with
arrow pointing to big box), you'll see Garth in 1891. Looks to have been
principally a wollen mill then.
If nothing happens when you press the enlarge icon, you may have to allow
pop-ups from that site. That used to be a problem; don't know if it still is
since they 'improved' the site a while back.
Regards
Dave south of the border.

Dear Jill,
Just to correct the birthplace of Anne or Jane Williams - "Stanfrachfa" is
probably a transcription error for "Llanfrechfa".
Llanfrechfa is a parish and village in the county of Monmouthshire.
In your e-mail, you also mentioned Pontypool and Ebbw Vale, both of which

I'm sure Powys List members will try to help you, but as none of the places

Use this site for vitals
http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/bmd_welcome.html
only downside is no age on death and no mother;s maiden name on births
after 1911
upside: it is very complete and also has the more prcise location of sub
registrars and also names of churched for marriages in the established
church of wales.
NB chapel marriages show as a civil marriage becuse they were not
approved so the registrar went to the marriage to record it in HIS register.

Just found that out when I tried to access one of my ancestors records.
Such a shame that ancestry have a habit of doing this to get people to join

Dear Listers,
A word of caution regarding my previous notice about free access to Aussie
convict records:
Access to the records is via an Ancestry.com two-week free trial.
You therefore need to give your credit/debit card number and remember to
cancel before the two weeks are up if you don't wish to continue.
However, you can of course gain free access to Ancestry at many local
libraries and records offices.
Kind regards,
John

Thank you, Lynne, for that information. I kind of had a feeling that
she married him. I understand that was a common thing back then.
Cheers,

Dear Listers,
This week's Retrospectives, just uploaded onto my website, are:
1. St Stephen's Church and the nearby Harp Inn in the village of Old Radnor
in the county of Radnorshire (six pictures).
This feature was one of the first shown on 'Images of Wales' back in
December 1997.
2. The parish of Trelech (Trelleck) Grange in the county of Monmouthshire
(seven pictures).
This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in May 1998.
As usual, these webpages will be displayed on my website for one week.
'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at
www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm

make your own Retrospective requests.
Kind regards,
John
