Hi

I'm at a bit of a dead end here and it's a long time since I first posted about this so maybe there is some new info out there?

Mr great grandmother's sister, Alice Edith Esther Watkins (b Wollaston, Glos 1896) to William & Esther (Wood) Watkins married a Belgian refugee, John Bruynseels (b c 1876) in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire on 20 Oct 1915

Then off they went to Belgium and that is the last record I have managed to find of them .. anywhere

Not knowing where to look doesn't help so if anyone can point me in any direction I would appreciate it

It appears that John Bruynseels is a fairly common name around the times I am searching

I have no knowledge of any children of the marriage

Thanks
Richard

Hi

I am descended from John James (c1803-1878) & Elizabeth (Price) James (c1813-1874) of Clydach, Breconshire

John was born in 1803 in Llangattack, Brecs and Elizabeth was born in Llanelly, Brecs in 1813

I have found the following children:-

Ann James (b c1834)
Richard James (b c1837)
John James (1839-1916)
William James (1842-1909) my 2 x great grandfather
Margaret James (1846-1894)
Elizabeth James (1849-1921)

Neither John nor Elizabeth married, and I don't think that Margaret married

However, I have struggled to find information on Ann & Richard after the 1861 Census
There was an Ann James (daughter), present at the death of John James in 1878

I am wondering if there's anyone out there with a connection to this family

Thank you
Richard J Thomas

Hi everyone

I’m looking for the death/burial of my 4xggf, William Truman (b All Cannings c1769) who married Phebe Smart in Melksham

His daughter Sarah, my 3xggm was born c1801and Phebe remarried to John Sta(u)nton in 1806 (Melksham) so I’m assuming William’s demise occurred between 1800-1806

Thank you

Hi

Does anyone know of any baptism records for Stoke Lacy from the 1810s-1820s or would baptisms have occurred elsewhere?

Cannot seem to find anything on any sites - my 3 x ggm, SOPHIA THOMAS was born in Stoke Lacy c1820, the daughter of John Thomas, farmer - I believe that she may have had a brother George

And that's as far as I can get

She married my 3 x ggf, WALTER PRICE in Llanelly, Brecs in 1847

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks
Rich

Hi all

I am researching for someone in Maryland and the family are living at Danks Row, Aberystruth in the 1841 Census (Hitchins)

I am assuming that it was in Nantyglo but cannot find a suitable map to pinpoint where it was

Does anyone know?

Thank you
