Glamorganshire / Aaron JENKINS - Patagonia emigrant 1856
« on: Friday 08 April 05 14:14 BST (UK)  »
Aaron Jenkins, late of Aberdare, and his family, wife Rachel and son James left on the Mimosa arriving at what is now Puerto Madryn in Patagonia on 28 June 1856.
I am trying to trace descendents of his brothers and sisters who may have stayed in Wales.   The most complete list of family members is from the 1851 Census of Pentyrch Parish (Gwaelod y Garth).   Piece: 2456 Folio: 237 Schedule: 100
Address: near Colliers Arms - very handy
All surnames Jenkins and all except the Head (he was born Bonvilston) born St Fagans.

John   Hd   M   50   Ag. Lab
Rachel   Wi   M   46
Miles   So   U   24   Iron Miner
Miriam   Da   U   22   Dressmaker
Aaron   So   U   20   Iron Miner  -   the emigrant
Richard   So   U   14   Iron Miner
John   So   U   12   Iron Miner
Llewelyn   So   U   10   Iron Miner
Rachel   Da   U   7   Scholar

The 1861 Census of Troedyrhiw also show a grandson John Davies aged 2.   Possible son of Miriam or Rachel?

Any information on the descendents of this family greatly appreciated.

Montgomeryshire / Re: Trow family of Berriew

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the thought, but unfortuately this is not my Jane Trow.   She married Joseph Renfrey, a Cornish miner, in Welshpool in 1856.   The family then lived in Berriew where the first 5 children were born.   2 girls died in 1866 - fever outbreak - and sometime between then and 1869, when the next child was born, the family (Renfrey) moved to Aberystwyth.   Joseph Renfrey and Jane (Trow) died there in 1899.   By the way Joseph Renfrey was not present on 1881 Census day either.
Perhaps Joseph Trow will appear on the 1861 Census.   Josephs seem to be a bit elusive!
Thanks again

Dave

The marriage certificate says Welshpool...........................which covers a multitude of sins.  The witnesses were both Joneses, David and Sarah, also not too helpful unless Sarah was a sister who became incognito by marrying a Jones!   Dave (Jones)

Cardiganshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1901 Census
« on: Thursday 07 April 05 00:25 BST (UK)  »
We all have the joy of researching the dread John Jones.   Cwrtnewydd is a small village approx 6miles NW of Llanybydder, or 6 miles W of Lampeter in the county of Cardiganshire now known as Ceredigion.   Llanwnog is the parish in which Cwrtnewydd is stuated.   You may like to try Llanybydder as a possible place name.   As you probably know Welsh ancestry is very frustrating due to the use of patronymics in naming children.   So Jones is the son of John, Jenkins is the son of Jenkin (Siencyn in Welsh) etc.   I too have the same problems and can sympathise with you and I was born not 20 miles from Cwrtnewydd!   Best of luck and hwyl fawr i chi.   Dave

Cardiganshire / CLEMENTS and JENKINS families of Aberystwyth
« on: Wednesday 06 April 05 23:52 BST (UK)  »
Who was Edward Clements?  I guess he was born about 1795 and was living in Aberystwyth at the time of his daughter Catherine's marriage to William Jenkins 18 Dec 1842.   At that time he was a soldier but nothing more is known about him.   Any info greatly appreciated.   
William Jenkin's father Edward is also an elusive character.   Born around 1785 he was a tailor of note in Aberystwyth in the early 19th century.    He was probably overwhelmed by orders for the fashionable 'Welsh trowsers' for the gentry to parade on the Prom in the 1820s, but little else is known of his family apart from the fact that he married Jane Owen 30 Dec 1817.
Is there anyone who has information on these families?  How about some facts on these two genuine Cardis.

Hi Jan, thanks for the respose.   I know that Joseph Trow was alive in 1851 because I have his daughter's marriage certificate from 1856.   I originally thought that they came from the south of the county where there are many Trows.   I shall try the 1841 Census next as you suggested.   Regards Dave

Montgomeryshire / Trow family of Berriew
« on: Wednesday 06 April 05 11:57 BST (UK)  »
Does anybody know of the family of Joseph Trow, born approx 1815 probably Berriew or Welshpool.   He was a butcher and his daughter, Jane, was born about 1836 in Berriew.   She married Joseph Renfrey 1 July 1856 in Welshpool Parish Church.   Any information on Joseph and family most welcome
