Jones/Rees

[HSU]

I am looking for info on ancestors of Margaret Jones circa 1845 & John Rees circa 1842 married on 11/11/1868 at Tirbach, Cromamman.  Marriage cert gives Fathers William Jones and Thomas Rees both Colliers.  When married cert gives residences of Hendre Cottage, Cromamman, Llandilofawr for Margaret & Tirbach, Cromamman, Llandilofawr for John.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Dennis

You might wish to check some of the spellings  ...

Cromamman is more likely to be Cwmamman - the Amman Valley that runs from Ammanford north-east up to Brynamman. Just to make life difficult, in the 1850s, Ammanford (or Rhydaman in Welsh) was actually called Cross Hands; whilst Brynamman (trans = Source of the Amman) was known as Quarter Bach.

The only Tir Bach I could find is over the top of the Amman Valley across the border into Glamorgan (http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Census.html) but it is Cwmamman.  The trouble is that would not be registered under Llandeilofawr which is Carmarthenshire.
