Obviously not expecting wills but OFHS Wills show two Carpenter Wills

CARPENTER   Simon   Bampton   Will   1741/42   1742
CARPENTER   Simon Sr   Bampton   Will   1728   1730

Always good to see where others of same name are living.

Hello, I have relatives who lived there in 1911.  Does that help?

The family on the 1911 census are at Office Row, Penrhiwfer, Tonypandy, Wales, CF40 1SQ

Emrys is 13 and at school and his sister Margaret is 24.

1939 shows he was born 27 Aug 1898, and is married living in 41 Penrhiwfer Road.

Really a long shot, Yatton Harry - now March, 2021!  Here goes.

I spotted your interest in the Thomas family.  Also the farms Gwainadda and Graigddu.  My Thomas family lived there (I think!) in the 1840s and 1850s.  My grandfather, Emrys, was subsequently born in Amos Hill in 1898.  Mother Mary, b 1877.  Father - well, that's another story, although I think we know the answer!  Great great grandfather Moses Thomas born 1854, possibly Tonypandy or Ystrad.  That's where my own brick wall starts/stops.  Any info you have on a Thomas family in those areas would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Cannot find the marriage of John Watkins=Mary Lewis at Llanwenarth 1784 but one in Cwmyoy - same couple in 1794: Wit: John Pritchard and Anne Lewis. Could they have married twice the 2nd time as the parish had to pay the first time?  A puzzle.  It does not seem to be on FindMyPast anyhow. Can you lead me to your source please? ;-))

Dear Osprey,
Very many thanks for your help.  That seems a good lead which I'll follow to see where it goes. I note you too have Watkins, mine moved from Monmouthshire and went to Merthyr and then to the Rhondda.

Thank You  - yes I have both the 1841 and 1851 census both of which are consistent with what I know. I have both of their deaths too.  I didn't note that earlier.
Burial
1843 • Sardis Chapel, Garndiffaith
Sardis Chapel, Garndiffaith- In memory of Rachel wife of Jeremiah Watkins of this Parish died 11th May 1843 aged 48yrs. There is no entry for Jeremiah's death although he may have been interred in the same grave and the fact not recorded.  Jeremiah died 24 January 1855 • Garndiffath, Trevethin, Monmouthshire
Deaths Mar 1855 WATKINS Jeremiah Pontypool 11a 103 He was a widower when he died as Rachel had died 1843.
Reviewing this I think I am really stuck on his baptism which I cannot find, so that I may know who his father was.

Monmouthshire / WATKINS, Jeremiah born ca 1789 poss. Llanfoist
« on: Saturday 15 February 20 12:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
 I am stuck on the above Jeremiah WATKINS. What I know is that he married Rachel JEREMIAH  Marriage
12th June 1814 • Goytre, Monmouthshire, Wales
Jeremiah Watkins of Llanfoist, bach and Rachel Jeremiah of Goytre Spin by Banns. Jeremiah X'd and Rachel signed as did her father Richard and Margaret Lewis [Witnesses].
I believe that Jeremiah is the son of Richard WATKINS b ca 1745 Llanfoist who married Mary REECE.

I feel that this is a Non-Conformist family as I cannot find any sight of Jeremiah's baptism.
Jeremiah and Rachel had 2 daughters and one Mary (b 1827 Govilan [Deri] Monmouthshire) married Thomas EDWARDS 04 Jan 1824 • Newtown, Montgomery, Wales.

Many thanks for any help.
