Romilly L Rowlands 9 Mo
Have spent all day and getting nowhere.
Have found deaths and traced backwards but cannot find a marriage as I do not know if Marys' maiden name was Parry but she kept the name all her life.
Also looking for death of their grand daughter Ruby Roberts and any other information.Ruby Roberts, a correspondent for the Montgomeryshire Express and Radnorshire Times writing as ‘Hafren’.
Many thanks,
Josie.

Sorry but forgot to add that info was from 1851 census.

This looks like the sons birth ;)
September qtr 1848
Igdaliah John Rowland
Barnstaple 10 46
That should give mothers maiden name
-
Is Romilly's middle name Lyndhurst :-\
Deaths Sep 1868
Romilly Lyndhurst Rowlands 18
Birkenhead 8a 346
It looks as though she was buried Tregynon
-
Lyndhurst is correct and I have found this record although I did not know where she is buried. Is there any way I can find the burials in Tregynon to see if any other relatives are there?
I did wonder if Mary Parry was a Lyndhurst. It would help if I could find any marriage record for an Isaac Roylands or Royland but I have had no luck so far. Thank you so much for taking the time to look for me. Where would the records for this area be as I have no idea where places are in Wales, then or now?

GenUKI is my favourite site for working out where towns and villages are!
Here is the page for Tregynon:
http://genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MGY/Tregynon/
On that page it says that church records are available at Powys Archives:

FindMyPast has burials for Tregynon
I did wonder if Mary Parry was a Lyndhurst.
The birth certificate for Igdaliah would give you his mothers maiden name ;)

The baptism of Romilly is on Findmypast and there is a note at the bottom by the vicar who doubts that that Isaac and Mary Parry were actually married. As none can be found, he was probably correct.

When did Isaac die.
-
My apologies for this - but where did the name Parry come from? :-\
1851 census she is Mary P, 1861 she is Mary P and in 1871 she is plain Mary.
-
Her death & burial are as Mary Parry Rowlands.
Romillies baptism when the marriage is queried by the clergy the names are given as 'Isaac Rowlands & Mary Parry' as though it is her surname.
-
Well spotted David.
Have not found concrete evidence of death of either Isaac or Mary such as burial record. Where did you find her burial record. Rosie?
Thanks again. Josie.
-
Findmypast has burial records for Mary in 1904 and possibly Isaac in 1880 :-\
-
Found them. Many thanks.
I will have to try using FindMyPast again. I fell out with them when they changed their system.

Isaac is shown as a surgeon on the 1871 census and on his burial record.
There are two references to him on the Welsh Newspaper Archives (free to use). One refers to his appointment as a medical officer in 1878 and the second includes his fees for vaccinations.

I wondered what that word was after his name, I thought it was another surname to confuse us, that was why I was trying to confirm when he died ;D

My mother is Ruby Roberts, she's very much alive! Her grandmother was Amelia (?), daughter of Isaac and Mary Parry Rowlands. According to Mum, Amelia left the family home in the county of Powys to go to Liverpool where she was one of the first district nurses in the slums. She married Benjamin Tilston Bromley and they had several children, including a boy called Lyndhurst and a girl called Winifred, my maternal grandmother. Mary Parry Rowlands wrote poems and articles printed in the Montgomery Times. MP Rowlands died in a cottage in Llandinam at the beginning of the 20th century. I am very keen on finding out more about the family.
