Carmarthenshire / Sarah Evans in Llanelly
« on: Wednesday 10 February 21 17:04 GMT (UK)  »
We know that David JENKINS married Sarah EVANS on 19.June.1880 and from the m/cert I have Sarah was 21 (b.1859) and a spinster. It also shows her father as Thomas EVANS (deceased) who was a Flour Merchant/Haulier. Witnesses to the marriage were William EVANS and Elizabeth EVANS.

Subsequent to her marriage, census records show Sarah was born in Llanelly and her DOB varies from 1855 to 1857, but can’t seem to find definitive evidence for her in 1861 or 1871 censuses.

Similarly, Thomas could have passed away anytime from 1859 to 1880 but can’t find a family with Thomas as head and Sarah as his daughter.

Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Restoration of photo of wife’s grandfather Edwin Tippings
« on: Wednesday 25 September 19 18:09 BST (UK)  »
Hoping someone can please help restore this photo of my wife’s grandfather which we have only recently discovered.

Edwin Tippings was born in 1889 and, sadly, was killed during an air raid in London on 19 April 1944.
He was serving as an ARP warden at the time and I don’t know if this was his uniform or an armed forces uniform. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / What is Jane's maiden name, please?
« on: Wednesday 04 April 18 18:40 BST (UK)  »
The first attachment is from a Parish Register of Maperton(SOM) 9th February 1724(5) and the transcription shows Jane's name as Jane JEXON. This could possibly be JACKSON, local dialect maybe, as there are a few in this area of Somerset and Dorset. (Groom is Joseph SANDFORD.)

The second and third attachment are from the Marriage Licence, and the transcription is shown as Jane PERER which seems doubtful.

The Latin at the top of the page might be of some use but I can't make sense of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Transcription - Translation from French(?) please
« on: Saturday 17 February 18 17:25 GMT (UK)  »
This may be a tall order, I've split the document into four parts because of the size, there may be some overlap.

This is a copy of a document that belongs to my son-in-law's father, the origin and content is unknown possibly a deed or bill of sale, but it dates from 1633.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Somerset Lookup Requests / 1871 Census Look-up please - YOUNG
« on: Wednesday 07 January 09 00:15 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for Census information for Elizabeth Jane YOUNG.

From information I have, Elizabeth was born in August 1865, I don't know who her parents were, but from previous posts I know she married a John WHITE in 1884 and the 1891 Census showed she was born in Batcombe.

From FreeBMD I could only find one EJ Young and she was born in 3Q 1865 at Shepton Mallet, but can't be sure this is the right one.

Any Info on Elizabeth, her parents and siblings in 1871, 1881, would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Allan
