Monmouthshire / bedwelty marriage - now what.
« on: Saturday 16 January 10 21:12 GMT (UK)  »
I finally found a marriage date for John Phillips and Elizabeth Francis 1 May 1837 Bedwelty, Monmouthshire. One more piece of the puzzle.

I found it on Familysearch in England marriages. Anyone know where or how I can found the original transcript. What I would really like to know is John's father's name.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Breconshire Lookup Requests / 1841 lookup David Davies
« on: Saturday 03 October 09 23:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Hoping someone can help me find this family in the 1841 census  - not having any luck on my own.
David Davies b 1812 Carn Ddu Cardiganshire
Jennet or Jane  Davies b 1812 Brecon
Margaret Davies b 1831 Cwym Wyss, Brecon
Ann Davies b 1834 Cwym wyss or Trecastle, Brecon
Hannah Davies b 1836 Brecon

they had a son David born 1843 in Brecon - Pwall y Med so they should be in Brecon in 1841 but by 1851 they were in Glamorgan.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / 1891 census lookup
« on: Thursday 01 October 09 02:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
I have another family I can find every year but 1891.

Philip James born 1859 Aberdare although in 1901 he says born Tonypandy
Catherine b 1865 Tonypandy and 
1891 they would have had only one son Thomas Vernon -he's Tom Ver in 1901 born 1889 Tonypandy.
 In 1901 and 1911 they are living at 3 Bryn Amlwg Tonypandy.

In 1881 he is living with his widowed father Edward James  and his grandparents John and Elizabeth Phillips  at 10 Primrose Hill Ystradyfodwg.

I am truly stumped and would really appreciate some help. I am hoping  they are just hiding with wrong ages, mistranscribed names.
Thanks for any help you can give me

New Zealand Completed Requests / West of the Manukau
« on: Thursday 19 March 09 23:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Wondering if any has a copy of this book West of the Manukau.  I stumbled across an index  on the internet which listed some names I am researching.  I am tracing the descendants of Joseph England - his son John England is listed on the index as well as John's brother in law Harry Parker who was the first constable on Waiuku.  Thanks for any help you can give me

Derry (Londonderry) / Coleraine parish records anyone?
« on: Sunday 26 October 08 02:58 GMT (UK)  »
While at my local FHC  after giving up trying to read Russian parish records I was happy to find that they had Irish birth, marriage and death indexes on microfilm.  I found the birth and marriage on the index that I was interested in and was also told I could send a request for photocopies of the certificates to Utah for a pretty reasonable cost - four dollars for the first two.  I did get the marriage record but not the birth record - it wasn't available which was very disappointing. 

At least now I know that Hugh McFadden McClements was born  Dec 1888 in Coleraine.  Any possibility that someone here has access to Coleraine parish records.   Hugh's father's name was Robert and his mother's name was Isabelle.  I am just looking for Isabelle's maiden name.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Lanarkshire / glasgow birth lookup Mcclements
« on: Friday 29 August 08 23:14 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone will be able to help me out - I haven't done any research in Scotland yet. I am doing some looking up for my brother in law whose dad is from Ireland but apparently one of his dad's sisters was born in Scotland.  I was looking at Scotland's people but am hesitant to put out any money on the off chance that other brothers and sisters were born in Glasgow too.
So if some kind soul  would they take a look and see if there are any Mcclements born in Glasgow to Hugh and Sarah Mcclements I could then decide if there is enough information to pay up or get my brother in law to pay up.
Hugh and Sarah were married in 1911 in Derry and one of their children Agnes was born in Glasgow in 1916.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Regards
