Thanks for the info RuthieB.
Is this from the 1841 census? A lot of the family were from the Llandinam/Llanidloes/Trefeglwys area, but this particular family member seems to have slipped through the net. I have been unable to discover his marriage and thought that if I could discover were he was at various times, ie the census years, I may be able to find out.

Hi Dave,
yes, that was the 1841. There are a fair few Woosnams in the area I think.

As a slight aside. Ian Woosnam, the golfer is from there. Any relation?

The short answer is - probably. My tree goes back to Francis b1772, Ian's goes back to William b 1770, both in Llandinam. The 1700s are a bit murkey - there are too many men called Francis and Wiiliam.
-
hi guys am a woosnam descandt too from Llandinam and am pretty sure that Ian's in my line. would be interested to hear from all of you with your trees please. I have three different trees of Woosnams all from Llandinam and have been trying along with others to tie them together.

ok guys just checked the trees i have and found a Richard Woosnam born 1821 son of the (famous) Francis Woosnam(b 1771 married 1820 dec 29th died nov 21 1859)and Sarah Thickens(b 1790 died 1870. Their children were John Woosnam Richard 1821 and Abraham 1834.
Richard married Sarah Ann Owen(b 1826) daughter of Robert Owen of Newtown.
Their children were Richard 1850. Randall Thomas 1854 John Henry 1857. Sarah Jane 1859. William Owen 1860. Frances Elizabeth 1862. Hope this is of help to you.

Hi Craftysarah,
I have this information, but cannot verify it. There is a lady in California who is related to Richard and I have been trying to verify her information for her, so far to no avail. There doesn't seem to be any trace - censuswise - since 1841. We Woosnams are a slippery lot!
-
Judging by my golf swing there is not the remotest chance I am related to Ian. But has anyone come accross Jane Woosnam b.1816 (Llandinam I think) and d. Bedwellty, Mon. 1893 (buried at St Sennan Burial Ground). She married John Holliday at Llandinam in 1832.
Jane was a midwife with a mother named Ann (b. 1773) but I have no other info on her parents.

Hi all
I live in Llandinam and have do all my life so has many of my ancestors. I can tell you, if you are a Woosnam and you descend from Llandinam you are 100% related to Ian Woosnam.
The Woosnam's go back to a least to the 1600's in Llandinam. So congratulation not only are you related to one of the sporting greats but you descend from the greatest place in the world, Llandinam.
Kind regards
