Hi,

Is there any way I could locate a cottage in Llangadock / Llangadog. The cottage is called Rose Cottage and keeps cropping up in various Wilding members records so I assume it was in the family for a period of time. Just curious if its still standing. Also is there a way of locating cemeteries, I have discovered both George and Mary Wilding (siblings) were buried in Llangadog in 1930 and 1950 respectively. I have the burial record but it doesn't indicate a specific cemetery. I only live 30mins away so would be nice to visit and pay my respects. - richard 

Hi, I've got a bit of a mystery which I hope someone can help shed some light on, Jessie L Thorne married Jack Brooks in Oct qtr 1929, he was in the merchant Navy and was lost when his ship was sunk by a U-Boat in 1941, Jessie then married Frederick Oswald Piller in July qtr 1942. She was then killed herself during an air raid on London in 1944. So far all pretty clear, so my query is why when I found her on the 1939 register her name was Jessie Piller, she was still married and living with Jack Brooks on that register, is it a simple typo or something else I'm missing.

Incidentally Frederick Pillers  1939 registers entry  states him as single, at a different address. Thanks in advance - Richard

I've got myself into a bit of a muddle with a family descendant. I'm looking for the birth record and parents of Alice Davies (Davis) b1885, I have her wedding cert in 1907 to Charles (Henry) Jinks where helpfully it gives her age as 22yrs as opposed to "of full age etc". I also have her birthday as recorded on the 1939 register as 17/1/1885, which ties in nicely with her age on her marriage cert. Her father is recorded as William Davies on the wedding cert, but struggling to get a register of her birth and her mothers maiden name. Can't seem to locate her for certain on either the 1891 or 1901 census's either. This is all based in and around Stoke upon Trent or Staffs. The address for the 1939 entry is 1 Duncan Street, Stoke on Trent, and her and Charles are transcribed as Jinnks. Thanks for any help in advance as usual. - richard

Hi, I'm hoping someone is able to confirm my thoughts around Elizabeth Rees. She is the key to my maternal line which I've gone back to 1776. I just need to be as certain as I can be she is the correct person, then I'm fairly certain everything else is correct. She married my Great Great Grandfather William Richards on 21/11/1891, she was the Mother of John Henry Richards who was born in 1894. I believe her parents were William Rees b1843 & Margaret Morgans b1844. My slight confusion is when looking for a birth cert for Elizabeth there are 2 born in the same year, 1873 1 in qtr 1 and 1 in qtr 4, the second birth is Elizabeth Ann Rees. So I obviously thought it would be the first birth in qtr 1, however both births have the mothers maiden name of Morgans. This is a rural agricultural area so fairly sparsely populated. Is this a coincidence or did Margaret Morgans have 2 daughters within a 12mth period and call them both Elizabeth    Incidentally Elizabeth Ann died 3 yrs later in 1876. The location is Llangadock, Carmarthenshire. Would appreciate any observations or opinion. I'm going to buy both birth certs anyway but just curious if I'm missing something. - Many thanks  for reading my long winded message - Richard

Hi, wondering if anyone is able to see the parents of David Richards b1871 maybe 1872 in Llandilofawr, I'm hoping to find father John and mother Mary nee Thomas, I'm on FindMyPast but can't seem to pin this one down. There is a family with the same names but Mary's maiden name is Davies. Hope someone is able to help, as always thank you in advance - richard
