Title: ABERHAFESP BAPTISM
Post by: Latina on Monday 01 October 12 14:32 BST (UK)
I am hoping to discover the parents of EVAN HENRY GRAVENOR. His BMD birth record is 1859 in the Newtown District but I believe his baptism was some years later in Aberhafesp. The surname is very prone to spelling variants. Many thanks for any help! Latina

Thank you so much Isobelruss for your super-fast help! Frustrating that there's no father but so helpful to have Elizabeth confirmed. Thank again, Latina

You really are a star! Elizabeth senior was my 3x great grandmother, so this is all so good to know. If she'd just married before having her children (or at least stuck with one father) it would have made things so much simpler! Off to update my tree now ..... :)
