John JENKINS d. 1835 Llandovery (Completed)
« on: Friday 25 December 09 10:11 GMT (UK) »

Greetings

Would anyone have access to Llandovery/Llandingat burials, please?

John JENKINS of Llandingat, innkeeper at the Castle Inn, died on or about 12 November 1835 apparently by suicide (and heavily in debt), according to his Letters of Administration on the NLW Wills & Probates. I am curious to know his age at death, and therefore his birth year. He married at Llywell in 1830 where his wife Letitia née Powell was born (c1795, d. 1862 Sennybridge), so presumably he was of a similar-ish age.

Their four children were baptised at Llandingat, two of them named Thomas in Oct 1830 and Aug 1835 both of whom I think died as infants, and it would be nice to confirm that too.

Very many thanks
Koromo

S'okay!  ;)

An October posting by roycymru sent me to the Carmarthenshire FHS site and I was able to locate John Jenkins' age at burial and, yes, it was by suicide.

Thank you, Roy.
