Hi,
I would be SO grateful if anyone can find any information on this as I've been looking for years :)
My great-grandmother was born Jennet Stradling in December 1872. She lived at Church Cottage, Coity and married Samuel Dyer. On her gravestone (St Mary's Church, Coity) she is listed as Jane Stradling Dyer
I cannot find any record of her birth, and from (verbal) information, she was illegitimate. I have a copy of her marriage certificate and the father's name has been left blank.
If anyone has ANY info on this it would be amazing as I can't get back any further on this side of the family tree.
Many thanks in advance, and hoping that someone can help out here

Hi Carole,
I've just found that too on the BMD ! As I've only done 'lazy' ie internet research so far, what is the next step? To obtain a copy of the certificate?
Is there any way I can find out who else was at the address without spending a fortune LOL
Thanks ever so much for your reply - this one is SO intriguing as there appear to be skeltons in the closet :)

Hi
There were two female Stradling "possibilities" for her mother on the 1881 for Coity
A copy of her birth cert will give her mothers name which (hopefully) should help to find which family she belongs to on the 1871 census. The address on the birth cert will be the one Jennet was born at - which may not necessarily be where her mother lived on a permanent basis
I suspect her mother married after her birth and Jennet is shown under her married name on the 1881 census
Once we know who her mother was, we can take it from there

Thanks again,
I'll have to get a copy of the birth certificate as I can't find the house listed on a reverse search...
I'll let you know when I get it as you obviously know what to do , unlike some of us LOL
Best wishes,
Etta

Hello,
I don't know if you know, but an Eric Stradling (T.E.Stradling) has written a book entitled Lon-Las. In this he mentions (very briefly) the Stradlings from Coity, Bridgend, I wonder if they belong to you? I can send you more details if you wish,
Pip :)

Hi Pip,
Any info would be great!! CaroleW and I have now done lots more research and found loads more ancestors - the majority from Coity. Not heard of the book, but will have a Google.
Thanks again,
Etta

Have you got a Margaret Stradling born Coity approx 1840.
Possibly daughter of a Jennet Stradling - (only one I can locate on 1841 census)
Margaret Stradling went on to marry William Davies.
Their eldest daughter was named Jennet.

Hiya,
We've come on considerably.... Margaret Stradling (b 1849 Coity) was the mother of Jennet Stradling (b1872) who was illegitimate as suspected. Margaret's parents were William Stradling (b1807) and Mary llewellyn (b 1811)
I'll check out the Davies marriage as I haven't come across that one at all!
Thanks for the info

Info I have
1851 Bridge St, Maesteg, Llangynwyd H0107/2461 folio 96 pg 16
Janet Stradling widow 53 b. Neath Vale
William son u 23 miner b. Coety
Ann dau u 16 domestic servant
Margaret u 12?Nurse
John son 7
last 3 all born Llangynwyd
1841 hamlet of Cwmdu, village of Maesteg H0107/1422/16 folio 45 pg 15
Jannet Stradling 40 labourer
William 12
Sarah 10
Ann 7
Margaret 1
So Margaret would be born around 1840ish
Margaret Stradling marries William David (Davies) in 1857.
So unlikely your illegimate Jennet born c.1872 is the same as my Jennet.
My Jennet is always listed on census returns as Jennet Davies and all ages given appear to suggest a birth of 1866/67.
Are there 2 Margaret Stradlings in 1851 maybe?

Do you have Stradlings in your tree? If so I would love to hear from you, my Stradlings are from Coity but I do wonder if some strayed to the Maesteg area, please pm me if you think they maybe related, my earliest Stradling is William born abput 1808 in Coity.

Hi ettab,
I take it you have seen this link:
http://www.stradling.org.uk/
These are the Stradlings of St Donats which is not too far from Coity! I wonder if there is any relation?
Pip :D

Hello
I have family tree showing marriage of William and Mary 3-5-1830. No record of a Jennet or Janet.
Can give you more information on the Stradlings from which William is descended if required.

There is a member of Glamorgan Family History society who is the definitive expert on the village of Coity and it's inhabitants. A gentleman who has listed all the monumental inscriptions in the churchyard of St Mary's church, Coity . He has lived in the village his whole life and can answer in detail almost any question about the past inhabitants of the village and the history of the village..If you look GFHS up you will see their number for their Archive called the ARC.Call between 10.30 and 3.30 on Wednesdays and they can put you in touch with him...when it come to Coity he is the font of all knowledge !!

Hi, just found this site whilst having a nose around family history. I can see the posts are from years ago, so unlikely the original poster will see.
Jane Stradling/Dyer is my great great grandmother. I believe she had 4 children. Jemima Stockford (her daughter) was my great grandmother. My Aunt knows a lot of the family history and I’m aware that a member of the family has traced Jemima’s bloodline back century’s. Jemima died in a house fire in the 1980’s.
