Marriage: Rees THOMAS and Frances WALLEY 1832

[Capetown]

Mis-typed

Rees THOMAS, baptism, 11 June 1801, they were living in the Parish of Lanboidy?  - the next Rees is 31 August 1804

[Gadget]

Are there any earlier baptisms as I've found an interesting possibility for a marriage ~

Myddfai, Carmarthenshire

29 Jan 1779 Rees Thomas to Dina Lewis both of Morthvey ( ?)

[Gadget]

Had a look at the image - I think Morvey has been mistranscribed - it reads Mothvey, which could well be a (poor) English spelling of Myddfai

[Capetown]

I can't see an earlier baptism before 1801 (looking on the 'net')  Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire - a parish in the union of Narberth, lower division of the hundred of Derllys, County of Carmarthen.



As Rees THOMAS was a Colier - not sure where the 'pits' where (everywhere in Wales!) - as yet, no idea when he died, and if the 1841 census is the correct Dinah THOMAS - living in the Parish of St Peters aged 84 c1757)

I read the occupation on the 1801 baptism at Llanboidy as "Soldier"?

Myddfai Baptisms, parents Rees and Dinah Thomas

David, 23 Nov 1783; Lewis, 6 April 1789; Mary, 1 Jun 1786 (father's occpn Farmer)

[Capetown]

Had another look at the baptism of Rees THOMAS in 1801 and the father's occupation does appear to be Soldier.

Been checking on the National Archives - and there are 'some' Rees THOMAS, but also Thomas REES and these appear to be on FindmyPast (don't subscribe)

There is a burial of a Dinah Thomas of Carmarthen, Sept 4 1844 at Abergwili* , aged 90

Previous burial at Abergwili  of Rees Thomas, March 9 1832,  agd 82

Interesting that on the 1871, Rees (jnr) is recorded as Rees D Thomas - RG10/5296/27/24
