Carmarthenshire / Re: Where is this place please? Possibly in St Clears

Great, this house seems to be of some considerable antiquity.
Although I have just had a thought-are we certain that it was her family that farmed?or perhpas she could have been a servant?
I would think that if she were a servant that being unmarried and with child she might have been dismissed.

Pembrokeshire / Elizabeth James of Haverfordwest
« on: Thursday 19 February 15 23:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I can't seem to decide on a baptism for Elizabeth James who was born 1807/1808

from the 1851 census she states that she was from Uzmaston,
the 1861 census for Haverfordwest is missing or incomplete or so I believe
the 1871 I am unsure of her whereabouts but its around the time her husband Benjamin Watkins died
the 1881 she was matron at the infirmary and put place of birth as Haverfordwest but it seems this return wasn't very detailed on its inhabitants..
she died in 1889

I wonder if anyone could located her baptism please?

Great thanks all:) am a bit confused now though as on another census she says born "Kenarth" aka Cenarth which seems to be a fair distance from the other place

Hi all,
I can't really understand the birth place on the first line of the attached image
They lived in Llanboidy so obviously its very possible that she was a Pembrokeshire lady

£100 in 1950 was worth around £3100 in "today money"
In 1959 it was worth around £2050
