Hello Nice people - Thank you to the ones who have helped me already - I realise I have a lot to learn.
Things that may help: I think - Daniel Elias 16Oct1820 to 10May1886 married Mary Ann Evans
27May1835 to 1888 in late 1864. Ann or Annie:- 1866- ?, either married Caleb Evans in 1883, went to N.Y. 11/May-1/Jun1889 and then married Arthur English as Jane but probably was in the accident Mabel found and survived. Gwenlillian:- 1868 I think she died in early 1893, no idea how. Phoebe 12jan1869 married Joseph Williams late 1887. He may have been a soldier and I think the whole family went to Oz on a troop ship. Elias:- 1870-1899 he was a miner(Where?) Elizabeth 1872 and Esther (1880) I have no idea. Hannah:-1875 married William Thomas Hamer in 1891 and had 2 sons Josiah 1895 nothing at all and Horace 1899 who died at the Somme aged 19.Leaving my Grandmother Mary:-1877 - she is suppoesd to have met my Grandfather while she was in service in Cardiff. He came from Cardiganshire and I have no idea how he get there or really anything before they in London married , running a Dairy in Clerkenwell. It's all a bit vague so if anyone can confirm any of this or pad it out or has ideas how I would appreciate the help.
Have fun people!
kind regards - Keith
I descend from Catherine Jane Elias (my ggm), the daughter of Thomas Elias.
Catherine’s sister was Hannah Elias who married William Hamer.
There seem to be two different families being merged in this thread.
I am in the process of trying to untangle them.
I believe that Jane English and Catherine Morris are siblings to my ggm Thomas Elias.
