Henry Davies/Davis 1841 Census.

[ejones1025]

Greetings from the Mississippi Gulf Coast,

Looking for any information about Henry Davies, LLangan, Derllys, Carmarthenshire, Wales.  This is the best fit I can find for my great-grandfather.

1841 Census has this listing:

1841 Wales Census about Henry Davies
Name: Henry Davies
Age: 23
Estimated birth year: abt 1818
Gender: Male
Where born: Carmarthenshire, Wales
 Civil parish: Llangan
Hundred: Derllys
County/Island: Carmarthenshire
Country: Wales
Registration district: Narberth
Sub-registration district: Amroth
Household Members: Name Name
Lewis Davies 60
Margaret Davies 60
Anne Davies 26
Henry Davies 23
 
Both Lewis and Henry Davies were colliers. 

Henry immigrated to Illinois, USA before 1850 and married Martha Jones, born in  (?)Swansea , Glamorgan, Wales on 30 Mar 1852 in St Louis, St Louis, Missouri, USA.

There is a passenger List for the Ship: Georgia arriving in New York, MY on 20 May 1848 from Liverpool, England that also seems to fit.

Thanks for looking and any help or additions will be appreciated.

Hi

I suggest you subscribe Carmarthenshire-L and ask for help there, they have many parish records and may be able to help (see below). Have you also searched for Henry Daves, Henry Davis or even possibly Henry David in the census for possible alternative matches as I have seen all these variants for my Davies family members in various census entries.


* Subscribing. To join CARMARTHENSHIRE-L, send an E-Mail to CARMARTHENSHIRE-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body. You will then get an E-Mail explaining how to post requests for help.

In my searches Lewis Davies is listed as an Ag Lab in 1841 not a Collier. Have you seen Lewis and Margaret in 1851:

Address Lletherach

Lewis Davies, Age 74, Head, Labourer, pauper born Llanboidy
Margaret Davies, Age 75, Wife, born Midrim
Henry Davies, Age 10, Grandson, Scholar born Llangan

Ref H0107/2475 Registration district Amroth 3, Enumeration district 2b

Hi roycymru,

Thanks for the responses.

My Henry Davis/Davies married a Martha Jones in 1852 in St. Louis, Mo.  Their daughter Margret is my grandmother.  My best guess is that he immigrated in the 1847-48 time frame. 

I find several Henry Davis' arriving in NY, NY in that time frame but none have a Missouri or Illinois destination.

He is well documented after 1850.

I will  make a request to the CARMARTHENSHIRE-L board and post there.

Thanks again
