Uchlawcoed and the Elias Family

[RJ137]

Did Daniel also have a daughter Jane? There's a Jane,  mentioned here (Welsh article). Daughter of the late Daniel Elias of Bryn Oer, Rhymney, recently married to a Mr Arthur English of the New York Observer. They were visiting the welsh community in Scranton, Pennsylvania
http://newspapers.library.wales/view/3540459/3540462/37/

I can also find mention of a Thomas Morris of Rhymney, who married Catherine Elias daughter of Daniel of Bryn Oer, who died in Spring Brook Pa, in 1900. As it says they came to the Us many years ago, I wonder if this is a previous Daniel? (although I see a tree on Ancestry suggesting Jane & Catherine are Daniel's daughters from a previous marriage)

Jane's marriage to Arthur S English.

Hello Nice people - Thank you to the ones who have helped me already - I realise I have a lot to learn.
     Things that may help: I think - Daniel Elias 16Oct1820 to 10May1886 married Mary Ann Evans
  27May1835 to 1888 in late 1864. Ann or Annie:- 1866- ?, either married Caleb Evans in 1883,       went to N.Y. 11/May-1/Jun1889 and then married Arthur English as Jane but probably was in the accident Mabel found and survived. Gwenlillian:- 1868 I think she died in early 1893, no idea how. Phoebe 12jan1869 married Joseph Williams late 1887. He may have been a soldier and I think the whole family went to Oz on a troop ship. Elias:- 1870-1899 he was a miner(Where?) Elizabeth 1872 and Esther (1880) I have no idea. Hannah:-1875 married William Thomas Hamer in 1891 and had 2 sons Josiah 1895 nothing at all and Horace 1899 who died at the Somme aged 19.Leaving my Grandmother Mary:-1877 - she is suppoesd to have met my Grandfather while she was in service in Cardiff. He came from Cardiganshire and I have no idea how he get there or really anything before they in London married , running a Dairy in Clerkenwell. It's all a bit vague so if anyone can confirm any of this or pad it out or has ideas how I would appreciate the help.
     Have fun people!
     kind regards - Keith

I descend from Catherine Jane Elias (my ggm), the daughter of Thomas Elias.

Catherine’s sister was Hannah Elias who married William Hamer.

There seem to be two different families being merged in this thread.

I am in the process of trying to untangle them.

I believe that Jane English and Catherine Morris are siblings to my ggm Thomas Elias.

Hello, Thank you for your reply,
Having had a quick look at your reply I know that Hannah was the sister of my grandmother Mary and she did marry William Hamer and they had 2 sons Josiah and Horace. Now the sad bit, she died when she was only 26, leaving two young boys. I don't know what happened to William or Josiah but I know that Horace died in April 1917 at the Somme - he was 19. He had also been to Gallipoli but came back from there only to sent to the Somme. They lived in Dukestown.
They had another sister Phoebe who married a soldier (Joseph Williams) and went out to Oz with they're family and lived in North Sydney - she died in 1931.
I think my ggd Daniel married twice and that your ggm may be in the 1st family whereas my gm was in the 2nd. Good luck with the search and if I can help please ask - thanks and regards - Keith

Hi Keith

I have Hannah’s marriage certificate in front of me. She married William Hamer at Bedwellty Parish Church on 4th April 1891. William is 19 and Hannah is 18 (ie - born c. 1873).

William’s father is William Hamer Snr (a Collier).

Hannah’s father is Thomas Elias (also a Collier).

Is that the same info that you have?

Thanks

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
              Thank you for information and I think you're right and my Hannah married in 1899 because my ggd was definitely Daniel not Thomas - so, it's back to the drawing board for me!
              My gggd was Elias Elias who lived in the same area.
               If I find out anything that could be useful to you I get back to you.
            Thanks again - Keith

Thanks Keith

What dated do you have for Elias Elias?

Who have you got as his spouse?

I have an Elias Elias as my 4xggf so we may have a common ancestor.
