Europe / Bruynseels (sic)
« on: Friday 02 February 24 12:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm at a bit of a dead end here and it's a long time since I first posted about this so maybe there is some new info out there?

Mr great grandmother's sister, Alice Edith Esther Watkins (b Wollaston, Glos 1896) to William & Esther (Wood) Watkins married a Belgian refugee, John Bruynseels (b c 1876) in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire on 20 Oct 1915

Then off they went to Belgium and that is the last record I have managed to find of them .. anywhere

Not knowing where to look doesn't help so if anyone can point me in any direction I would appreciate it

It appears that John Bruynseels is a fairly common name around the times I am searching

I have no knowledge of any children of the marriage

Thanks
Richard

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Ayeth William Simmonds
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 12:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

I am trying to find the death date of my relative above. He is the 'missing link' on a particular line

He was born in Llanelly, Breconshire on 22 Oct 1919 and died in Jersey
His wife was Joyce Mary (Pearce) Simmonds who died in Jersey in 2016 aged 96 years
They had one son

Not sure where to look , so any help would be appreciated

Thank you
Richard

Breconshire / James family of Clydach
« on: Saturday 08 July 23 16:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am descended from John James (c1803-1878) & Elizabeth (Price) James (c1813-1874) of Clydach, Breconshire

John was born in 1803 in Llangattack, Brecs and Elizabeth was born in Llanelly, Brecs in 1813

I have found the following children:-

Ann James (b c1834)
Richard James (b c1837)
John James (1839-1916)
William James (1842-1909) my 2 x great grandfather
Margaret James (1846-1894)
Elizabeth James (1849-1921)

Neither John nor Elizabeth married, and I don't think that Margaret married

However, I have struggled to find information on Ann & Richard after the 1861 Census
There was an Ann James (daughter), present at the death of John James in 1878

I am wondering if there's anyone out there with a connection to this family

Thank you
Richard J Thomas

Thanks for that  :)

Still baffled by it though ... Newport would have been closer

Monmouthshire / Trinant BMD's
« on: Sunday 25 February 18 17:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

Not sure if I've asked this before, so apologies in advance

Why were Trinant BMD's from the 40's thru 60's registered as Caerleon, which is 16+ miles away whereas Pontypool is only 6+ miles away?

Anyone with any idea? It's very confusing for researchers if they don't know the areas

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / William Truman/Trueman
« on: Wednesday 14 February 18 13:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I’m looking for the death/burial of my 4xggf, William Truman (b All Cannings c1769) who married Phebe Smart in Melksham

His daughter Sarah, my 3xggm was born c1801and Phebe remarried to John Sta(u)nton in 1806 (Melksham) so I’m assuming William’s demise occurred between 1800-1806

Thank you
Rich
