Dear Listers
I see some correspondence about the Defynnog/Llanfeugan area that prompts me to
post this message. I have found the place Glynn in the 1851 Census in connection
with Libanus; could it be the familiar name for Glyn Tarrell?
In his Huntington Bible, Jeremiah WILLIAMS recorded the birth of his son Thomas
on 12th December 1835 'by his wife Margaret'. Jeremiah also wrote that he
himself was 23 years of age in that year. There is a likely marriage on 28th
December 1834 at the Church in Llanfihangel Nant Bran.
IGI has Thomas' christening at Aber Llanfigan Independent Chapel on 15th June
1836. In 1841 the family is recorded at Cross Oaks, Pencelli, just down the road
from Llanfigan, but after that I have found no trace of them - unless they are
the Jeremiah and Margaret living in St Woollos in 1871.
Does anyone recognise these names and know where they were in the missing years?
It is my belief that Jeremiah was an older brother of my
great-great-grandfather, Richard WILLIAMS (b. 1821) who married Elizabeth GUNTER
in 1850.
Richard's parents were Thomas (Richard's marriage certificate) and Elizabeth
(mother living with him in 1851, at Libanus, aged 71 and born in Llanfilo). I
see these two in 1841, Thomas (70) and Elizabeth (60) plus Richard (15) and
Gwenllian (10) at Aber, Pencelli. The whole family seems to have worked as
tilers and masons.
