Glamorganshire / Llwynfelish, Crynant
« on: Friday 22 May 09 12:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I remember seeing some information regarding Llwynfelish some time ago and wondered if anyone could help. I believe that some of my relatives came from there, from a farm or Hamlet. I am not sure. The family were William David (or the reverse) b.1610, his son Thomas William b.1646, his daughter Felish William, and any subsequent family.
I know it is a long shot, but I would appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
MDW

Warwickshire / Re: Where is Winkcoute in Warwickshire

Hi Ziggie,
The nearest I can get is the Village of Wilmcote in Warwickshire. It lays three miles north of Stratford and was the birth place of Mary Arden. Also I recollect a Wyncote around Leamington Spa, but not sure where exactly. It could be, as already suggested, a question of accent.

Hi Mobo,
I have looked at quite a few records for the south of Sweden, but to no avail.
Most Swedish Church records prior to 1900 have been microfilmed by Church of J.C.L.S., and will be available through any of their Centres. Is there one near you?. Failing that, I will go to the National Archives in Stockholm (but not before Christmas) and see if I can find 'your man'.
I do have an e-mail address of a lady called Margareta Kroon, who may also be able to help you ( margareta@msff.se ) If I am not allowed to post this, I am sure the 'watchers' will remove it. She is involved with the Swedish Genealogy Days Fair being held in Malmö next year.
Best wishes

Hi Anne,
No exact success yet, but I have some details. I could not find Hans Jannsen Ahlfors, and was wondering if the names have been distorted. So tried Jönsson which sounds very similar.
Try the following:- Hans, son of Jöns Jönsson and Ingrid Maria Petersdotter, born 19.7.1860 in the County of Lund.
Hans, son of Måns Jönsson and Kersti Jönsdotter born on 12.12.1860 in the County of Lund.
I will continue looking, but it may take a while.
Best wishes,
Mel.

Hi Mobo,
If you print his name, perhaps I could have a look for you, as I live in Sweden. MDW
