;D WELL HELLO CHRIS, why did I have that feeling that you would pop up? ;D ; ;D.
Thank you both for looking,I have found the marraige for my g/g/grandfather REES he married at CADOXTON JUXTA NEATH and I know that PHEBE didn`t marry as she is on the 1901 census that I have here but did the others marry and move away as did REES?? Some time ago I phoned CARMARTHEN & Narbeth trying to find the birth cert of REES but he wasn`t registered, where is EGLWYSFAIR do you think he could be registered somewhere else?? many thanks again to you both :) MARG,,,

Chris, I don`t think that this Elinor next door is anything to do with Morris and ESTHER, but there, she could be as I really don`t know anything about this family at all,, only my g/g/grandfathers name MORRIS because it is on my g/grandparents marriage cert,, sad isn`t it :( Marg,,

Eglwysfair (St. Mary's Church) is in Whitland.
It was a chapelry of Llanboidy until 1910 when the parish of Whitland was formed.
It's register dates from 1813.

;) Thanks Chris, I phoned Narbeth on the advice from Carmarthen as they didn`t have any information on Rees there and Narbeth didn`t either, his age on the 1881 census is 29yrs so just out a wee bit,will have to try and find the other siblings now, they have all gone off the 1861 census except Phebe and Hester,Rees was working at the age of12yrs a at GELLY LLANGLYDWEN as a SHEPHERD OF SHEEP, Stephen and john could also be working at a young age as they did in those days, Thanks again for all the information Margx,,
