I was actually looking for postcards etc (I did have it in the wanted section before it was moved) :)
-
I am currently transcribing the Monkton Parish registers from 1748 to the 1950's to add to my Monkton 1711 to 1748 transcription.
In it I have just found the following for your interest ;
Monkton Burial Register
24th June 1768 George Buckney was buried in the yard
If you are still after Angle postcards just look on ebay, but like Pembroke they are now fetching silly prices.

Every time my friend sees some on eBay she buys them for me, photo copies wouldn't be the same as one of my ancestors was a post master there and it would be nice to think he handled it.
I am from Angle and I have photos of me as a child but it is the early ones I like.

George Buckney is bound to be a relative of mine. :)

This is quite lightly to be another then, from my transcription of Monkton Mrges 1711 to 1813.
James Griffiths of Mounton (Monkton) mrd Elizabeth Buckney of Mounton by banns on the 27 Sept 1760 in front of Joseph Hughes. James made his mark and Elizabeth signed her name in the presence of William Froyn and George Sargent.

Yes another one. ;D
I wish I knew where they lived before they moved to Angle but as you probably know the church records were destroyed in a fire.
I have John Buckney c1745 (wife Abra), their son Richard Buckney was a headmaster in Angle school and basically that as far as I was able to go back.
-
I would suggest Richard was the only master, Head or otherwise, of Angle School.
You may well wish to look at the following areas
From my database of Burgess of Pembroke Borough I note ;
George Buckna a Mason was made burgess 11 Jan 1741 Min Book 2 page 64
George Buckney of Jameston Manorbier was made burgess circa 1815, no clear date is amended. It is lightly that he was an inn keeper his will is noted as SD1837-319
From other sources I note
14 Nov 1756 Thomas Buckney mrd Catherine Thomas at Carmarthen St Peters.
Looking at the 17th ~ 18th Cen., spread around the UK for the surname my humble guess is the Buckney family came from the home counties with Cromwell (like many others I can show, including some of my own) and instead of walking home after the seige's just stayed here.
If I'm right then this is probably how my wife and I come to share the same ancestor from early 18th Cen in Pembrokeshire and Hertfordshire.

Can I just ask what this is please?
George Buckna a Mason
~~~~~~~~-------------------------------------------------
I can imagine them saying "Well I don't think I'll bother to walk home I'll stay here and get married."
I just wish I could get past the early 1700s.
Thanks for the info. :)

Sorry do not understand the question
All I said was from my own compiled database of the Burgess of Pembroke Borough 1678 to 2008 that George Buckna(sic) a (stone) Mason was made a burgess in 1741.
I mention him in case you have noted any mispellings of the surname.
There was no honour in being made Burgess, most people did there utmost to get out of it, but the majority received fines for not turning up as required.
I see no problem in getting back further, it would take a holiday at Kew and a slog around some early records, if you hope to find the answer in Pembs, then failure is assured.

With you now, sorry I thought that was the name rather than the profession!!!!
Well it looks like failure for me then I am disabled (bone problems and a brain tumour) so I don't go far.
Thanks anyway. :)
Have you met my friend George Lewis yet............brilliantly funny and terribly kind.
-
If its any comfort (prob not) think of any 'ology' consultant and I am probably visiting them at present, plus a number of different Health disciplines at the cutting edge of health care that I am also under.
George came and saw me and was gratefull for the info and work I did on his relation Reuben Lewis(see elsewhere on this forum).
I note your interest in the Vaughan's of Monkton, have you noted my latest posting of St Nicholas and Sadis on this Forum.

Monkton Burial
Elizabeth Buckney of Ferry buried at Monkton 14 Jun 1826 aged 64 yrs by Charles Philipps.
I would suggest that 'Ferry' refers to the Bentlass ferry, used by the Dockyard workers living in the area of Bentlass to Monkton.
