Glamorganshire / Brick wall.. William Powell..
« on: Tuesday 30 October 18 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
I'm not sure if i am posting on the correct page.. but I was wondering if someone could help me as I have hit a brick wall.. im struggling to find anything else.

William David Powell Jones was born in 1926 in Pontypridd.
I ordered his birth certificate which states
Mother:  Minnie Rose Williams
Father: William Jones

I can't seem to find ANYTHING on his parents.. no marriage, nothing.

I found William David Powell Jones in 1939 living with a woman Caroline Phillips and her husband William Phillips.. But no sign of William David Powell's parents.

I guessed that William David Powell may have some family connection to either Caroline/William Phillips.

Cutting a long story short. It turns out Caroline was William David Powell Jones's step aunt. His father was actually William Powell.

I found Caroline with her mother Elizabeth and step brother William in a few census records. The only thing is.. he is down as Powell and not Jones.

I have no idea where the Jones came from.

I spoke to a lady in Canada who was the great granddaughter of Caroline Phillips(Morgan) and she confirmed that William Jones was actually William Powell and he was Carolines step brother..but she also didnt know why he was down as Jones on his sons Birth Certificate.

I hope i havent confused anyone too much. I just dont know where to go with this. feel like its hit a brick wall.



thanks in advance for anything x

Glamorganshire / Percy Jones --Pontypridd
« on: Friday 18 August 17 11:48 BST (UK)  »
Morning all.
I hope everyone is keeping  well.

I was just after some help/guidance/anything anyone is able to offer!  :D

I'm having difficulty in tracing a family member in 1901.
Let me begin..

Percy Jones was born in 1899/1900 in Pontypridd.
Son of Daniel Jones and Ellen Reardon - married name Ellen Jones.

By 1901 - Daniel and Ellen had two children.
Gladys who was born in 1897
Percy who was born in 1899 (Some records have 1900 down)

In 1901 Census I have found Daniel Jones with his daughter Gladys living with Daniel's parents
Daniels parents - Father; David and Mother;Ann.

I then tried searching for Ellen and Percy - but no such luck.
They don't seem to be anywhere.. or atleast I cant find them. 
I have searched through census records, after records... and more records.

I'm either doing wrong.. or they have just disappeared in 1901.
in 1911 they are all back together.

Any help??

Thanks everyone.

Glamorganshire / Waters Family Line
« on: Saturday 21 November 15 15:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - this is a long shot but I thought it may be worth a try.

I'm looking for anyone that may be connected to my waters line in any way - or that may have any information to help.

My grandfather Thomas John Waters was born in 1937. 
His parents were Selwyn Waters (1911-1968) and Amy Hill (1913-1993)

Selwyn's parents were John Waters(1888) and Carrie Owen (1890)
(or Caroline-changes through census records)

Information that I have already gathered is that Selwyn was born in Neath.  He had siblings : Glenys Waters, Thomas G Waters, Blodwen Waters, Vernon (L) Waters - there may be more, I don't know.

I also know there is some connection with Thomas Chapel, Begelly, Narberth, Pembrokeshire, Wales
as Rachel Waters (aunt of John Waters - Selwyns father) married Thomas James.

Something else I have found is an address in Blaengwynfi.. Beatrice Terrace.

If anyone has information would be great!
Thanks.

Hi. Just wondered if anyone had any relations/information on the Waters' from the Begelly/Blaengwynfi area?

My great-grandfathers father - John Waters was born in 1888
Through my research, it seems he was born out of wedlock.  His mother was Jane Waters (she was 24 when she had him) later finding out that she married a Thomas Harries in 1890.

Jane Waters was the daughter of Joseph Waters (1818) and Ann Phelp (1825)
Joseph and Ann had other children aswell as Jane. 
Rachel (1846)
Mary (1844)
Benjamin (1842)
Richard (1847)
Elizabeth (1849)
John (1851)
William (1853)
Ann (1856)
Joseph (1858)
James (1860)
Philip (1862)
>>Apologies if these are wrong<<

I am mainly interested in any information on Jane Waters and her son John Waters.  He married a Caroline Owen in 1910 and they had 5 children - Selwyn, Blodwen, Thomas G, Vernon L and Glenys.

I would love to hear from you if you have any similarities with me or any information on the Waters line. 

>>Also - I know that Rachael/Rachel Waters married a Thomas James and they were the legal guardians I believe, of Rachels nephew John Waters. 

Thanks.
