Title: Peregrine in Aberaeron
Post by: Ttony on Sunday 06 November 05 20:18 GMT (UK)
Evan Peregrine b 1813 married Margaret Price b 1812.  Evan was likely the son of David Peregrine b abt 1787.  Evan and Margaret's children were: John, David, Margaret, Mary, Morgan and Evan.

Any bells ringing?

Hi,

I had a look on the 1851 census for any Peregrines born or living in Aberaeron and found none.  Couldn't find Evan & Margaret anywhere . . . nor father David.
Sorry ???

Thanks for trying.  They had probably left Cardiganshire: they are in the Rhondda in 1881.  However, Evan the younger is listed as born 1850 in Aberayron.

Oh well: anybody any ideas for a next step?

Hi,

I found your family on the 1871 census in Henfynyw, Cardiganshire. (Henfynyw covers the Aberayron/Aberaeron area)

At 'Penshywfach'  (Source: RG10/5556; Folio: 55, Pg: 12)

Evan Peregrine, head, Married, 58, shoemaker, b: Aberayron
Margaret Peregrine, wife, 59, b: Henfynyw
Morgan, son, 22, carpenter, b: Henfynyw
Evan, son, 20, mason, b: Henfynyw

On the 1861 census the family is still living at 'Penshywfach'. Strangely, the children are recorded with the surname 'Davies'.  (Source: RG9/4192; Folio: 54; Pg: 3)

Evan Peregrine, head, Married, 48, shoemaker, b: Henfynyw
Margaret Peregrine, wife, 49, b: Henfynyw
David Davies, son, 23, b: Henfynyw
Mary Davies, dau, 16, b: Henfynyw
Margaret Davies, dau, 12, b: Henfynyw
Evan Davies, son, 10, b: Henfynyw

I checked the FreeBMD site and bound the following (all in Aberayron):

Morgan Peregrine b: 1846, d: 1848
Morgan Peregrine b: 1849
Mary Peregrine b: 1844

The IGI has a marriage for Evan Peregrine to Margaret Price in 1837 in Henfynyw and the FreeBMD supports this, but in that source the marriage was registered at Aberayron.

The IGI also has Evan Peregrine b: 1813, Cilie Ayron, Aberayron, to parents David and Sarah.  Evan was c: 3 Jan 1813 Upper Henfynyn.  I couldn't identify any other children born to this couple.  The same source gives their marriage as 1812, Zipper, Henfynyw.  There was no maiden name for Sarah.

The FreeBMD site also has for Aberayron:

Sarah Peregrine d: 1855, no age given
Evan Peregrine d: 1879, aged 67
Margaret Peregrine d: 1882, aged 70
Sarah Peregrine d: 1898, aged 20 (perhaps you know where she fits in)

There was also a marriage for Morgan Davies Peregrine in 1871 (Aberayron), so it appears 'Davies' is one of the given names . . . I wonder if it could be Sarah's maiden name or Margaret Price's mother's name?

I will check the 1851 census again . . .

Regards,
Sharyn

Sharyn/Shazzam

what can I say other than Coo!

(I'd love Zipper to be the name of a chapel.)

Many many thanks for this.  I need to read, mark and inwardly digest, I think, and then see how to take all this forward (and backward).

Without realising this, you are going to make some old people very happy!  Good deed for the day done!

Very best wishes
