Title: Matthew Henry Gethin
Post by: megalina on Saturday 08 March 08 03:03 GMT (UK)
Hello, I am researching my husband's family of Gethin's from Caersws and surrounds.  I only know about Matthew Henry Gethin (1909-1975) and his parents John Tudor Gethin (b.?  d.1949) from Llanwnog and Margaret Elizabeth Ingram (b.?  d. 1949).  Does anyone have more information?  Many thanks, Meg

Just looking where places are in relation, 
Edward Ingram b 1847 says born Moughtrey in 1851 and in 1881 when he is married says born Penstrowed/Penystrywaid.  These are about two miles apart.

Thankyou silvery  :D
The Margaret Evans in 1861 looks like the right one but the one in 1841 doesn't quite add up (especially if you surmise that in 1861 25yr old margaret was visiting with perhaps her 60 year old mother Mary??).
Are you able to please follow Mary Evans who married Edward Ingram (1847-?) in 1872 or David (1777-?) and Ann Clayton (1782-?) any further back?

Meg

Hi Silvery

Sorry to butt in !
I have a distant interest in this family, which was why I followed your messages to Meg.

I noticed that you have the marriage of Edward Ingram to Mary Evans as
Qtr ended Jun 1872 Newtown 11b/249.  I have the date as Qtr ended Mar 1874 and have checked this now on FreeBmd. Also North Wales BMD shows the marriage as 1874 at St. Gwynnog church, Llanwnog.

If Meg needs any further details, I have the Richard Gethin/Mary Tudor family with 12 children in all from Richard (1830) through to Sarah Ann (1852). Richard Gethin/Margaret Evans had 8 children from Mary (1860) to Evan (1879), with John Tudor Gethin (1877) being the second youngest.

I don't, however, have anything on Margaret Evans' parents or siblings or Mary Evans, who married Edward Ingram.

I can go back on Mary Tudor to her parents & grandparents, if you would like this detail.

Hope you didn't mind my intervention.

Stan
Title: Re: Matthew Henry Gethin
Post by: silvery on Friday 09 May 08 17:51 BST (UK)
Od dear me  :-[  Stan you are quite correct, I cut and pasted from my original post which had a typo  -  check everything, as the saying goes.   I stand corrected and would have made an elementary error.  I will go back and change it.

Just out of interest, I traced Richard Gethin from 1851 with the Tudor grandfather to 1881 when Eva was 2.  He seems to marry in 1868 Newtown to Margaret Evans, which was after the birth of Mary c1860 and Richard 1864 or 1865.  So you have gone back further with them.

I'm sure Meg will be highly pleased to make contact with you.

Title: Re: Matthew Henry Gethin
Post by: brynhyfryd on Saturday 10 May 08 20:46 BST (UK)
Hi

I think I may have the Evans family !

In 1851, living at Oerle, Trefeglwys
William Evans (46?) Head, Farmer, b. Trefeglwys
Margaret Evans (38), Wife,  b. Llanwnog
Thomas (15), John (14), Margaret (12), Elizabeth (10), Jane (9), Mary (4) & Sarah (1) - all children born in Trefeglwys

In 1861, still at Oerle, Trefeglwys
Margaret Evans (48), Head, Widow, Farmer, b. Trefeglwys ?
Thomas Evans (25), Elizabeth (20), Jane (19), Sarah (11) AND
**Mary Gethin Evans (1), granddaughter, b. Trefeglwys.

Birth: Mary Gethin Evans Qtr Sep 1859 Newtown 11b/202

So, it appears that Richard Gethin (or some other Gethin?) and Margaret Evans had started their family some time before they got married in 1868.

And in 1871, still at Oerle
Margaret Evans (58) Widow, b. Llanwnog
Sarah Hamer (21) Daughter
David Hamer (23) Son-in-law, Farm Servant, b. Trefeglwys
**Mary G. Evans (11) Granddaughter
William H. Evans (1) Grandson - Not sure who are parents of this boy
**Richard Gethin (6) Grandson


As previously mentioned, the birth/marriage certs. need to be ordered to clarify and verify.

Gday Stan & Silvery,
Thanks so much for your interest in helping me out  :)
I actually have the Gethin & Tudor info as far back as Richard Gethin (1803-1880) and John Tudor (1725-?) courtesy of a lady called Trish Brooks.  We discovered that my husband's relatives still occupy the original Gethin farmhouse!  I have that  Hannah Reynolds married John Tudor and a Bridget (no surname) married the elder John Tudor.  MY husband's family are from the John Tudor Gethin line.
you've prompted me to check out the freebmd website.  I have only been using the freereg site and was unable to source a lot of welsh info!
Many thanks again,

Meg, Western Australia
Title: Re: Matthew Henry Gethin
Post by: megalina on Sunday 11 May 08 03:46 BST (UK)
Hi Stan,
have just had a think about the Evans info you found for me.
the young Richard gethin (grandson in the 1871 census) sounds like the right one from the Gethin info I have (born 1865)....but with the Mary Gethin Evans- were female children given both parents surnames?  If Mary was a daughter of Richard Gethin and Margaret Evans, would not her surname be Gethin rather than Evans?  She may be a different grandchild although I do have a Mary Gethin born in 1860 which is the right age for the 1861 census.

kind regards

meg

Hi Meg

It appears that Mary Gethin Evans & Richard Gethin were both illegitimate, since Richard Gethin/Margaret Evans marriage did not take place until 1868.
However, Mary's father may just have been another Gethin or of some other name - though it looks highly likely that they are the parents.

I will obtain a birth cert. for Mary Gethin Evans  - I am away for a week and I will do this on my return.

I do have the same information as you regarding the Tudors and may well have got this from the same source as you (Brooks).

My interest is through a brother of Richard Gethin(1830), Thomas (b.1839) whose second wife was a Mary Hutson, which is my main line of research.
A rather tenuous link, but I do tend to go off at a tangent sometimes !

Best wishes
Stan


Title: Re: Matthew Henry Gethin
Post by: brynhyfryd on Friday 23 May 08 19:57 BST (UK)
Hi Meg

Further to my last post, I have now received the Birth Cert. of Mary Gethin Evans.  As predicted, illegitimate, with no father's name recorded.
Details: Mary Gethin Evans born 26th July 1859 at Oerle, Trefeglwys. Mother's name - Margaret Evans, who is also given as the informant. Registered 3rd Aug 1859.

So, we do not have proof that Richard Gethin was the father of Mary Gethin Evans or Richard Gethin (b. ca 1865), both seen with their widowed grandmother at Oerle in 1871 census. But it is highly likely ! Their marriage certs may be more enlightening.

Regards
Stan

Can I butt in here too?!!!!

I have just discovered that one of my GGG Grandmothers was a Catherine Gethin born approx 1813, not sure where yet.  She married a Joseph Richards from Tregynon, and I am descended from one of their daughters, Elizabeth Richards.

Stan.....

If Meg needs any further details, I have the Richard Gethin/Mary Tudor family with 12 children in all from Richard (1830) through to Sarah Ann (1852). Richard Gethin/Margaret Evans had 8 children from Mary (1860) to Evan (1879), with John Tudor Gethin (1877) being the second youngest.
....Can you check and see if there is a Catherine in the family details that you have please?

Also the Joseph Richards that I mentioned above, was the son of John Richard and Martha Tudor.  Do you have any record of Martha?

Many thanks, and my apologies for jumping into this thread!!!!

Post by: brynhyfryd on Monday 07 September 09 16:39 BST (UK)
Hi Jan,

My apologies for missing your earlier post - I've been distracted by other matters of late !

I do not have your Catherine Gethin (b.1813) in my tree. Edward & Catherine Gethin did have a daughter Catherine, born 1799, but she died in 1810. They then went on to have Jane (b.ca. 1802) and Richard (b.ca.1803), who married Mary Tudor, all born in Tregynon.  Now the probability is that there were more than 3 children, quite a small family in those days, and there may well have been another Catherine born after No.1 died in 1810. Speculative, I know, but worth a proper look in the parish records of Tregynon, if you have the opportunity.

Re: Martha Tudor. Yes, there is a Martha, b. 1768 Tregynon, a sister to John Tudor (b.1765), the father of Mary Tudor (b. 1806, Llanwnog), who married Richard Gethin. i.e. Aunty Martha ! It appears that Martha married John Richards,a widower, on  31 Dec 1801. She would have been about 33 years old. Probably, the right one.
Martha & John are 2 of the 9 children (at least!) of John Tudor & Bridget (no surname). If you need any more details, please let me know (most of the information has come from a website, therefore not guaranteed).

Regards
Stan

Jan,

I gather that you have an interest in the Jerman/Jarman family. I have been researching my own Jarman family in Wales for a while and traced back to a John and Sarah Jarman/Jerman. On the records he identifies his birthplace firstly as MacHynlleth, Montgomeryshire and later as Mochra, Montgomeryshire. Sarah came from Llandinam.

Does this match any of your own research?
Please reply driectly to (*)

been following this thread, only found it tonight, My Grand mother was Evan Evans's daughter. The line goes back to the ones discussed.making them my great, great etc fathers.
After Oerle the family i believe moved to Moelygigyedd, From there thence to New House adfa, and eventually Evan Evans finished up at Middletown.
