For my second great grandfather, Robert EDWARDS, I have the following records:-
* Marriage certificate, showing that on 30 Mar 1852 he married Laura THOMAS at the Llandanwg Parish Church where he was a Mariner of full age with place of residence as Harlech -- with father as Robert EDWARDS, Mariner
* !871 Wales Census, showing him aged 45, an Inn Keeper living with his wife & children at Clogwyn Inn, Harlech with his birthplace as Harlech
* 1881 Wales Census, showing him aged 52, a Slate Miner (Quarrier) living with his wife & children at 3 Tryfer Terrace, Harlech with his birthplace as Harlech
* Death certificate, showing that he died aged 50, on 28 Apr 1887, a Slate Miner at Tryfer, Harlech
Based on this limited set of information, my best guess is that he was born in early 1829 or more likely sometime in 1828. Unfortunately, I cannot find any online Llandanwg Baptism Parish records, although the London Family History Centre website indicates that there are:-
a) Bishop's transcripts 1676-1897
b) Parish registers 1695-1812
c) Church records 1812-1840
If anyone has access to a) and/or c), I'd appreciate if you would do a look-up to see if there is a baptism c1828 for Robert EDWARD(S) where, if shown, his father will also be Robert & his mother will probably (but not definitely) be Elizabeth.
Thanks & regards, Rob (short for Robert) DAVIES
