Benjamin and Frances James

[Dutch Uncle]

Very very many thanks to KGarrad, Omega1 and Orielbenfro - fantastic help

Frances James is buried at St Gilead which my family (presumably very loosely) referred to as Maidenwells. Omega's point about non-conformists may well be very relevant.

With regards to Orielpenfro's last post I have managed to discover that in the 1851 census for Monkton that Francis Hendy, aged 4 and described as 'nursechild' lived in the household of Rosanna Furlong described as a pauper widow. Also living there is an Emma Moody (I think the name is Moody but it does look a little like Hendy), aged 23 described as a cripple and a pauper serveant. I am beginning to become a little emotional thinking about some of the circumstances. In the 1861 census a 14 year old Francis Hendy was listed as a visitor at an address in St Mary Pembroke, but intriguingly it is given as a male person. in 1871 a 24 year old female Francis Hendy is a serveant at a different address in St Mary.

Once again very ,many thanks

As far as I understand it the term Saint is not used in reference to non conformist chapels it is just Gilead Chapel. It is a couple of miles from my abode, I have to go there to record some military related ex-service headstones do you require any jpegs?

Francis with an ‘i’ is male. Frances with an ‘e’ is female.

Hi Brian

A lot of my Welsh Ancestors were Baptist.Trying to find any records is like searching for Gold Dust.I have even been to the NLW several times & come out deflated

I to inherited a Bible which hard a large piece of paper that my Grandmother had put all her Aunts,Uncles Mum & Dads birth & burial dates plus my Father & Uncles birth date.This got me started with researching.

It was my Father who told me about Baptisums for Non Conformist.He should me the part of the River where he was Baptised.

I have never come across a Chaple that has Saint before the name.

Orielpenfro - your kindness overwhelms me. I am certainly planning a trip over from Holland to Pembrokeshire sometime to visit graveyards, but summer 2012 looks more likely than this year. Please don't go out of your way, but any picture you could take in passing would of course be extremely welcome.

I am aware of the Frances/Francis distinction (my mother's middle name was Frances presumably after Frances James above) - however the census records are inconsistent. Although the FreeBMD birth entry is clearly for Frances Hendy, both the entries for the 4 year old female nursechild in 1851 and the 14 year old male in 1861 are Francis; the 24 year old in 1871 looks like it is probably Frances.

Best regards and many thanks

Just a short post to thank you for your welcome and help. Now I look more carefully it is of course Gilead, not St Gilead.

Best regards

Who am I looking for in the Burial Ground and what dates do you have for burial?
