Hi all,
Could SKs have a look in the PR for the following:
Sydney Davies. She (yes SHE) was married to a Thomas
Griffiths. The
marriage took place in 1821 in Llanfawr. Sydney was
living in Llanfawr at the time. I wonder if she was baptised there?
Any chance of a trawl to see? I think she died in the early 1830's
although this is surmise.
There was certainly one child from the marriage: a Gwen Griffiths, born
November 1829 & baptised in Bethel Rhydywernen Hananeel & Pensingrug
Independent Chapel (Llandderferl, Llanfor & Llandrillo).
As ever in
hope!
Dear Graham (& All),
Further to Edward's reply. My mother recalls a schoolfriend called
Sydney (pronounced 'Sudnu')- in the Manchester of the 1920s, although
the girl was of Welsh parentage.
So the name persisted into the 20th C.
Cheers,
