David Rees Westbury Hill, Rosemarket
« on: Monday 16 March 09 02:32 UTC (UK) »
Background:
Researching David Rees of Merlin's Hill, late of Green Hill, Haverfordwest d. 1837, and more specifically, the name(s) of Ann (s), his second and /or third partners/wives.

However, I have decided to take a different angle, by looking for descendants of a possible brother John Rees, a farmer.

A possible starting point:
John and Ann Rees lived at Westbury Hill, near Rosemarket from 1796.
A son David b. c1796 and wife Ester had:
David Rees bap. 20/4/1821 Rosemarket
Esther Rees bap. 15/8/1825 Rosemarket
William Rees bap. 18/4/1826 Rosemarket
and possibly: John Rees b. 8/7/1832 Rosemarket

1841 Census: Westbury Hill
David Rees 55 farmer; Esther 50; Esther 15; William 13.

Two of my ancestor John Rees' chn: Samuel Tomkins Rees b. 1826 and Frederic b. 1829, were born at Westbury Hill.

Now to my request for help:
Could someone help me with the 1851 Census of Westbury Hill or the David Rees, now 66; Esther 60; William 23; David 30 or John Rees 18 ?

PS I have posted a big thank you to RootsChat people for your assistance with this family and a new contact, via Somerset> Frome> Rees

Thank you very much Sallysmum for the 1851 search of this Westbury Hill Rees family.

Now to figure out the connection which I have not doubt.

I also notice that you have listed Rees Davies Pembroke on your sheet:
a) how do I list families like you have?
b) do you have a connection with a William Davies living at Green Hill in 1837?

Hi Keith
If you click on your profile, then modify profile.  Click next on Rootschat profile information.  If you scroll down this page you then find a box labelled Research names/areas.  You may then enter your details and they will appear at the end of any messages left.

I don't think I have a connection to William Davies c1837.  My Davies of that time is Mary Davies b 1827.  She was born in Tenby to Henry Davies and Margaret Hughes.  They also had 2 other children Sarah and Dorothea.  Henry was a labourer.  I am having trouble locating both Henry and Margaret so I don't have much more information about them.  Margaret I believe was from Llanycevan and I suspect Henry may have come from Dorset - it's all a bit vague and difficult to tie in. 

Good luck with your research

Thank you, I think I have got it right.

I will keep an eye out for Margaret Hughes.
