Hi Debjenks,
I have found one Floyd family in the baptisms index of that Parish. John Floyd was baptised 12 Sept 1876. Father Richard a sinker and Mother Mary Jane. Their address was Mistir Mawr.
Best wishes,
Elin
-
Hi Elin, :) what years does your info cover? I have a family in this area, but pretty early.
Cas
-
Hi Cas, ;)
I have Baptisms, 1838 - 1930. So not very early I am afraid. Let me know if I can help.
Elin
-
Oh drats...lol... I have a Gwenllian Bowen b c1793 - 1796, have the parish marriage entry with a William Bowen as Witness, found a possible submitted entry on IGI, with father William, but wanted to confirm, if he was her father/brother
No probs, thanks anyway... :-*

Hi im looking for the family Jones in this parish, anyone help?
-
Sorry just found your post funny, as there are many Jones .. ;D probably a few hundred in Llangyfelach, if not more
I think to find 'Jones' in Wales (or anywhere else) you will need to be much more specific, giving full name, age, dob, pob, to hopefully get anywhere, and also add anything else you may know, to hopefully make a connection to who you are looking for...
So if you want to post full details, we will see if we can help....
Cas :)
-
Hi,
Just to second what Cas is saying really. Looking at my Baptism data, I have found 3 Anne Jones already in the Parish and I had only just begun!!
Do you have any more specific details?
Elin
-
Hi
I have details of My Grandmother Hannah Georgina Jones born 10th August 1897 Treborth, Llangyfelach. Her parents were Henry Jones and Elizabeth Ann Jones (Hughes). Elizabeth was also born in Llangyfelach, 12th July 1870. I can find her details. I am having difficulties finding information on the 1901 census. I no she died in 1907 but have no other details of her.
Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.
-
I've got a David Rees b.1807 in Pentre St. John who married Margaret Harries b.1809,in Llangyfelach, they married in Feb 1829 in Llangyfelach. I've never been able to find any trace of her family, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any information on them.
Regards
Ken Rees
-
Have you got them on the 1841 Census, Ken?
Romilly.
-
My, that was quick, Romilly. No I haven't had a chance to see a copy of the 1841 census. Do you have any access? Here's hoping! :P
Ken

Do you have any children of the couple to narrow? What is David's occ?
Cas

Hi Ken,
Is this them on the 1841?
REES, David M 34yrs 1807 Born Glamorgan
REES, Margaret F 33yrs 1808 born Glamorgan
REES, David M 10yrs 1831 born Glamorgan
REES, Lewis M 6yrs 1835 born Glamorgan
REES, Ann F 4yrs 1837 born Glamorgan
REES, John M 2yrs 1839 born Glamorgan.
-
I have the marriage same detail above to Margaret Harris, (WPB) Witness Personal detail Banns. Possibly more info could be found in the original record in Glam Records office.
Cas
-
One other point...
Going by the 'naming sequences' among my Rees ancestors...Margaret's father is likely to have been a 'Lewis'. (If these are the right ones:-)
Ist son named for husband's father,
2nd son named for wife's father.
Romilly.

I've just dug out a copy of the 1841 census for Llanrhidian Higher which was very faint and realised that the family you had was the correct one. David was down as a collier at the time. Sorry for the mix up. Ken.

I've got a David Rees b.1807 in Pentre St. John who married Margaret Harries b.1809,in Llangyfelach, they married in Feb 1829 in Llangyfelach. I've never been able to find any trace of her family, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any information on them.

Ken, i have found your family in 1851, i dont know if you already have them then. they are in Llanrhidian Higher llandilo with their youngest son 8 months old Moses rees with ann , John, Aaron elizabeth and margaret jnr.
have also found them in 1841 but no sign of margaret harries's family, they have david(abt 1831)Lewis(abt 1835), Ann and john in Llanrhidian. David senior is a collier

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have the records going forward, but it was the information on Margaret Harri(e)s that I was unable to find.

I would try having a look for her with Lewis Harris, - possibility for her father's name?
Another possibility is that her mother might have re-married?
My subs to Ancestry have expired, but if you request a Look-up on here, I'm sure that someone will oblige!

Hi everyone...I'm new here so please bear with me. I have a William Lewis (b. about 1816) and Hanna Owen who married April 12, 1834 in Llangfelach. They had children Hanna, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, John and Ann.
Elizabeth is my great-grandmother.
Would like to share data with others!
David
-
Hi Dave,
And welcome to Rootschat!!
Do you have your Lewis's on the various Censuses for Wales yet? And do you have any dates for your G/Grandmother?
Best Wishes, Romilly.
-
hi, i believe we may have a connection, my relation elizabeth williams born 1841 married William Lewis b 1836 llangyfelach, they had 8 children. i am willing to share any info i have with you.
william lewis was a coalminer.
-
Yes, I have William Lewis on the 1841 census (fiche #17-023-023)
The only data I have on Hannah Owen is her daughter's (Elizabeth's) birth certificate. Elizabeth was born September 24, 1841 in Llangyfelach and died in the US (Pennsylvania) June 26 1895. I'm guessing Hannah was born between 1816 and 1820 or so.
Elizabeth married Joseph Rees November 12, 1861 at the parish church in Llangynwyd.
-
Hi Again Dave,
I'm guessing that you & Bevbee on here might have some Rees's in common...
Romilly :)
-
Hi Romilly,
Thanks for your PM - sadly I don't think we have a connection as my Rees family were from Carmarthenshire, not Glamorganshire.
Could have been good there for a second though! ;D
Maybe next time. ;D
-
Oh thats a shame Bev...
(I had my fingers crossed for you:-)
I live in hope that one day one of my Llangyfelach Rees's will make contact on here, - there must be quite a few of them out there... ;D ;D
Romilly ;)

It is possible that we have a connection but I have no other data on William Lewis (b. abt.1836 Llangyfelach) that would confirm this. Is your William Lewis the son of William Lewis/(b. abt. 1816) and Hannah Owen?
-
Hi I'm connected to a Davies family John Davies b. approx 1822 father John Davies a carpenter in 1844 when John Davies Jr. married Eleanor Thomas at Llangyfelach Church August 16th. Havn't been able to find John's baptism.

Hi I'm wondering if Margaret Harris had an older sister named Jemima( her name has been very misspelled in census so this may not be exact) Married to Thomas Thomas a butcher in Llangyfelach Church in 25 sept 1821 LizR
Can't find Llangyfelach Parish Church records for bap. and Marriages on the IGI

Hi Elin Can you look up Thomas Davies Baptism Parents John Davies and Eleanor formerly Thomas married August 26th ,1844 Thomas listed with grandparents in 1851 Morriston census as aged 7 Thank you He is not a direct ancester for me.

hi Dave, i have been sent a rough draft of a cousin's descent from William and Hannah, so we are connected, even if we are not cousins ourselves as i am not descended from William but his wife, William's parents are indeed William and Hannah(no surbname given for her but i am pretty sure it is hannah owen. William is belived to have died on 11th November 1922, but not prved yet, he is in the 1911 census, as widower, Elizabeth died after 1901 census but she cannot be found in the census. i have info that she died in 1895 but again not sure how accurate it is. william and parents william and hannah are in graig trewyddfa in 1841 or 1851. john

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, I'd like to know more about your Elizabeth . Last name? Location? I have no way of verifying your Elizabeth and William Lewis (b. abt. 1836, Llangyfelach) are relations to me but perhpas with your data I can confirm. With so many common names I'd like to make certain we're on the right track.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cas, ;)
I have Baptisms, 1838 - 1930. So not very early I am afraid. Let me know if I can help.
Elin
Elin,
May I ask a favor? I'm looking for baptism of William Lewis, b. about 1836 in Llangyfelach. Parents were William Lewis and Hannah Owen. Perhaps William wasn't baptised until 1838?? Let's hope!
Thanks in advance,
David
-
Hi Debjenks,
I can't help I'm afraid...but I'm after Rees's in that Parish if anyone is able to help.
Best Wishes, Romilly.
Romilly,
I have Rees family in Llangynwyd dating back to 1841. I have my ggf Joseph Ree marrying Elizabeth Lewis at the parish church there on November 12, 1861. Joseph was born 1841 in Walwyn's Castle in Pembrokeshire(?). Joseph's parents are buried in the parish church yard in Llangynwyd. Any connection?

Hi David,
My G/Grandfather Evan Rees was born in Llangyfelach in (approx) 1838. He married Margaret Davies in Llangyfelach in 1859, and on the 1881 Census for Wales they are living at 18 Welcome Street, Swansea with their 7 children:
Evan Rees 42yrs Occupation: Copperman.
Margaret Rees 43yrs
John Rees 22yrs
Sarah Ann Rees 19yrs
Margaret Rees 14yrs
George Rees 13yrs
Elizabeth Rees 9yrs
Selina Rees 4yrs
William Rees 2yrs.
The Margaret Rees, aged 14yrs on the 1881 Census was my Grandmother. I know that Elizabeth and Sarah Ann emmigrated to the USA, but I don't know what happened to the rest of them.
I've found Evan Rees's parents, (Evan and Anne Rees) on the 1841 Census for Wales, & they both seem to have come from Llangyfelach too. I can't see any links to Llangynwyd, but who knows?
Best Wishes,
Romilly.

Oh, so close yet no match. I also have a Sarah Ann Rees born about June 1859 but I am quite certain her parents were Thomas and Ann, not your Evan and Margaret. So, it looks like there isn't a match. Thanks very much for responding and best wishes for a successful search.
David

Hi Romilly I have family in LLangyfelach. Do you know the parents of your Margaret Davies? Have you seen the records for Mynydd- Bach Chapel? IGI has gaps for mid 1780's so am uncertain whether to buy CD. My Davies family lived at Penygors and Pentwyn near the church. LizR
-
Hi LizR,
My G/Grandmother, Margaret Davies, was born in Aberavon in (Approx) 1837. I think that her father was John Davies, (Mariner) of Aberavon.
I must admit that I haven't got very far with my Davies relatives, - I don't find Parish Records very easy to negotiate...
Romilly.
-
My Davies families had a lot of wheelwrights, Carpenters and blacksmiths. John Davies b. approx 1786 might have had a forge at the Plough and Harrow. This pub was run by Grey(his in-laws?) and Davies families. William his son was also a wheelwright as was Morgan(b. approx 1828)
I have seen a maritime Davies family in Swansea. Have you checked out the wills at the National Library website for FREE I have really enjoyed reading them. Thanks for replying LizR
-
Hello LizR,
No, I haven't checked out the Wills side of things as yet.
On the 1881 Census for Wales, my G/Grandmother Margaret Rees, (née Davies) is running a fruit shop, (presumably a greengrocers).
I must admit that I think that my relatives would have been too poor to have had Wills...but I suppose you never know! ;D ;D
Best Wishes, Romilly.
-
Just to add to the Rees' of Llangyfelach, does anyone have any info on the parents of Elizabeth Rees, b.14 October 1787 who married William Lewis, a collier, b.6 February 1786, also from Llangyfelach. He died in 1862, and she died in 1875, and they seemed to have never moved out of the parish. I would appreciate anything on his parents too, if possible.
Regards
Ken >:( :(
-
Dear Romilly Even laborors had wills. It is seachable by place , date, Name, occupation and diocse. People willed the spoons, furniture and feather beds and the clothes that went with them. My family in the 1880's were railway porters yet we have wills in Llangyfelach and Pembroke going back to 1660 Good luck LizR
-
Hi LizR,
I must admit that I thought it was only people of property who made Wills! Hopefully I am wrong.
Do you have the Link to the Site please?
Cheers, Romilly.
-
Hello Romilly I don't know how to do the link thing (teens laugh in background) but the site is the National library of Wales and use google So put National library wales wills and it gets you to the page. they have instructions. There are only 157 wills in Llangyfelach when I just filled out parish on the search boxes. Some wills have been misindexed so if you don't find them leave out the county( which is called a township). Llangyfelach and the west part of Glam is in the diocese of St David People had to travel to Carmarthen for the Consistory Court But I've searched Llandaff just in case. Hope this helps Happy Hunting LizR
-
Hi Again LizR,
Thanks for the tips :) Heres the Link:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0892/
I couldn't find anything for John Davies, but there do seem to be several Wills for Evan Rees's :)
Of course I have no way of knowing if any of them are related to my G/Grandfather Evan Rees...however, they are for Evan Rees's in Llangyfelach, & seem to cover the 15/16 & 17th Centuries...& names did tend to be passed on...& so its a possibility!!
Romilly.

I am trying to get more background on Morgan Rees (1720 - 1808) who founded Salem Baptist Chapel in Llangyfelach in 1777. The Rees family were tenant farmers on Tynywaun farm for many years and had strong links to the Baptist church there for many years.
I believe that Morgan and his brother Thomas (1722 - 1808) were buried at Salem Chapel. Is there any way to get information on the gravestones there without visiting?
-
The Glamorgan Family History Society has a CD for Mynydd-Bach Chapel. Has anybody used it? You might check and see what other chapels are available. I would be interested to know if they are transcriptions or images of the register books LizR

Thanks for you assistance - will get in touch with GFHS and see what they have...

Have you got them on the 1841 Census, Ken?

Hi Everyone,I am about to see the above link. llangyfelach parish records..but could not find what I needed there 6 months ago, however,First though I thought It a good Idea to add these.Hannah Jenkins born ab;1811-12 married George Truscott tin worker he was born In Corwall. I have many details of their children and these two persons owned the Landore pub In the 1800's. I would be so happy If Icould find out for certain If Hannah [ nee]Jenkins Truscott's mother Was ?' Elizabeth Allen'brn;1765 who married Walter Jenkins brn 1767of Cwmcarvon..Apparently Hannah's birth cert cannot be found anywhere as yet!but I have this info already exept I am' not certain 'If Hannah was born In Llangyfelach although 1 cert copy said born Llangyfelach, I have reson to believe Hannah's father was Walter Jenkins of Cwmcarvon,her mother Elizabeth Allen of Trealy farm.
Please would there be a kind person out there to be able to search for Hannah[nee]Jenkins mother for me/? As best you can from somewhere? As I know it is difficult without her birth cert, my names are Goss,Lot/tt Truscott,Jenkins of Llangyfelach and Cwmcarvon Monmouthshire. best thanks from Diane.
-
Thanks Sarah/Trystan, for letting me know about this.
My quest is details of the marriage of THOMAS Thomas to Catherine HARRIES(Harry) 21 Nov 1804 in Langyfelach.
GlamFHS index shows Banns and Witness and I wondered if its poss to look at original records which might give clues to parents/occupations etc?
Catherines parents Rees and Hannah HARRIES(Harry)he was a mason,Thomas father not known but guess at another THOMAS Thomas probably also a Puddler as were all the male descendants.
Coincidentally the family maternal side is ROWLAND from Panteg.

-
Hi morganallan,
Thanks for your response,I have the GlamFHS record,however he lists in the 1851 and 1861 census as born in Llangefelach, maybe he was living/working in Llansamlet 1804 .I thought that there could be more detail in the original record (WB) but up to now no takers!

Hi Liz,
I realise your post is now some years old, I wonder if you are still active?
In recent years Mynyddbach Chapel has gone through some interesting times, the chapel has recently seen a revival and they now have a website http://mynyddbachchapel.com/ (http://mynyddbachchapel.com/) I wonder if contact with chapel officers would assist your research?
Regards, JohnG, Llangyfelach, Swansea.

Hello John Yes I have been following the story of Mynndd Bach Chapel. My Margaret Davies born 1791 at Llangyfelach married John Davies in 1811. She was the daughter of Evan Grey born1761-1843. John and Margaret also had a daughter Margaret born in the 1820's, found on the 1841 census living at Penygors. House near the parish church. Cannot find baptisms for any of their children. Margaret's brother Morgan Grey left a will in 1843 leaving detailed possessions to his nephews. Hope this helps. LizR

Have grandparents buried in Llangyfelach Church. Lilian Rees and Ernest James Rees (born 1900). Lilian was born in The USA. Her parents, Thomas Rees (and ?) went from Morriston(The Graig, I believe) to live in Indiana. There they had 4 children. Two died at a young age, the third stayed there and my g mother came back to Morriston with her mother when Thomas died.
As my g mother wanted to be buried in Llangyfelach , I`m thinking that her mother and family were also buried there. Her mother married twice or three times, the last to a Bromham. I couldn`t find Lilian`s grave (and Ernest`s, buried together) when I visited the church so am wondering if they`re buried in a , `Bromham` grave. How would I find out, please?

There is a 1300++ pdf file held by the Parish Church of St David and Cyfelach, which I have searched and I can find no trace of any of the names you mention in your message above.
The church has a website with a contact page: http://www.llang.co.uk/html/contact.html but I'm not sure what additional records the church has access to over and above the above mentioned document.
Were you aware that opposite the Parish Church, there is the Bethel Chapel which has a modest grave yard which is clearly visible on Google Maps, with an entry via the chapel (without parking) and an alternative entry with parking via Heol Fach (off the junction 46 roundabout), unfortunately: I have no details of if the grave yard is still open for burials and if not, when it might have been closed, also
I currently have no point of contact for the chapel, please give me some time to see what I can come up with.
Also, just over the parish boundary to the east is Morriston Cemetery, which has been accepting burials since the early 1900's, the records for this cemetery are held at Swansea Civic Centre http://www.swansea.gov.uk/article/4033/Burials-and-cremations
I hope this assists you with your further investigations.

Fab to receive a reply. Many thanks for your efforts, too. Yes, they were buried in the graveyard opposite Llangyfelach Church. I`d presumed both graveyards to be one and the same albeit they have a main rd. separating the two. I attended the burial and I thought I`d find it quite easily. It was an , `old ` grave and I didn`t take note of the headstone`s inscription but I don`t believe my mother had it taken away to be added to...so there would probably be no written record as far an inscription is concerned, it would solely be a recording of where my g. father`s ashes but more likely where my g. mother`s body was interred.As I mentioned, I would imagine it to have been where a faimly member had hitherto been buried...possibly with a different surname due to remarriage.Any advice given would be appreciated . Thank you.

Hello Silvsands,
I have enquired about a Point of Contact for the Bethel Chapel, Llangyfelach.
The good lady is the caretaker and does not have access to the records you require. I have been given the details of the Chapel Member that deals with the Chapel Records, but I cannot send details of this nature to you via the open pages of the Bulletin Board, we have to use the Personal Message (PM) system which requires both parties to have made at least three posts (each) to the Bulletin Board, so you will be able to use the PM system after your next post.
I was additionally advised that the date of the burial(s) will be required in order to speed-up the enquiry.

Hi,
Well, have had a look through my diaries and can`t find when my g mother died. I think , at that time, my Mum was suffering from dementia and they died quite close together, date wise. It would be in the late 1990`s or early 2000`s.My sister might know but she`s in Australia visiting relatives at the moment.
I had wondered about calling in as I know there`s a building in the grounds near the graveyard.

Silvasands,
Please look for a Personal Message sent last evening.

Hi Dahill, i have since found that my william lewis born 1836 is NOT son of william and hannah. He is son of David Lewis. Sorry for incorrect info.
-
Bore da/ Good morning Romilly. I thought at one time (and in fact I may still have!) a Rees connection to this parish. My 3x great grandfather, William Rees, was born in Narberth in 1804.
I suspect that his wife, Ann Charles might be connected to this parish. Incidentally, this was her second marriage.

Hi Keith,
I’ve never been able to find a Baptism for Evan Rees, (born 1810/‘11) who married Anne Williams in Llangyfellach in June 1830.
Although it says on the marriage record that he was born in Llangyfellach, it’s quite possible that this was a mistake…
Their son, also Evan Rees, (1837- 1927) was my Great Grandfather.
So many Rees’s! It’s difficult to sort them all out 😵💫
Romilly 🙂
