Elizabeth M.Scowcroft born c 1823 married Robert H M Michaelson Yeates in 1841. They lived at Hendre House, Llandelloy. Her father was William Scowcroft and I believe her mother was Anne. I think Anne's father was William John. I would be grateful for any leads which would enable me to find Anne's maiden name.
Thank you.

Hi
Do you have info where elizabeth was christened? and her marriage certificate what did her father do for a living? and do you have them on all census?
If you know where Elizabeth was christened have you thought of going to local history centre and requesting church records if all else fails.
cheers cardiff :(

Thank you both Cardiff and Welsh Lady for your replies and the information. I had not thought that John could have been a surname.

I have a family tree of the Scowcroft family of Hendre. Elizabeth's father was Wiolliam Scowcroft who married Anne John. She died at Solva in 1843.

John, Johns, Jones are the same name resulting from e.g. Evan ap John etc. The John family in the Hendre area came from a neighbouring farm, Caerwen. Incidentally my wife,s great grandmother married a michaelson Yeates after the death of her first husband.

Thank you for the information. Elizabeth Scowcroft and RHM M Yeates were my great great great grandparents. I have information on the M Yeates tree. The only information I have on the Scowcroft family is in the message I previously posted. I would therefore be grateful for any information you could let me have on the Scowcroft family which relates to my ancestry. Spangles.

I have family one family tree of the Scowcroft family and one of the John family of Caerwen that links to your ancestor, and several that link to these two families. You need a three dimensional tree to sort out the farming families in pembs.
My wife, whom you are most likely to be related, live in West Wales. Might I suggest we meet so that we can show you what we have.
We would be very interested to see a family tree of the the Michaeson Yeates family.

William,s father was henry John of Caerwen who married Lettice Nicholas.
Henry was the son of Francis John of Caerwen who married Dorothy (Possibly Perkin.
Francis's father was Henry John who married Joan. Henry's will was proved 1 June 1686.
Hope this is helpful

The William Scowcroft mentioned was my Great great greatgrandfather.
His son Francis John Scowcroft had several children the eldest Ann Dorothy married John Anderson who originated from Edgware Middlesex born 1839 in Barnet. He became the Station Master at Johnston before moving to Neath. He died in a railway accident in Llantrisant.
Ann & John also had several children the eldest male was my grandfather Francis John Anderson who died in Neath.
Contact with family members and further details of the Welsh Scowcroft/Bowen/Millard/Llewhelwyn from Haverfordwest.
Ann Dorothy Anderson & her Mum Elizabeth (Llewheling Millard) Moved to Cardiff in the early1900's but WHERE?

Hello
Edit Just noticed Orielbenfro is deceased. :'(
I came across your replies to Scowcroft posts and notice you have said "...mrge of a Thomas Scowcroft to Elizabeth Jones at H’west St Thomas in 1787..".
Thomas & Elizabeth are my 4 x great grandparents. To date I have only located a bare bones transcript of their marriage. Could you please advise if Elizabeth's & Thomas parents are mentioned or any information specific to the couple please. What was the source of the information ; perhaps I will be able to recreate it?
I am hoping to locate my 5 x great grandparents from this information.

Yes I am sorry Westy :'(
I am sorry but your private message to Peter Laugharne has sadly bounced back, it looks like Peter changed his email address but sadly we have no idea what the new one could be.
Kind Regards
