Herefordshire / Re: The Racehorse Inn, Widemarsh St, Hereford
« on: Sunday 24 October 21 11:21 BST (UK)  »
Frank Powell used to keep the Race Horse in Widemarsh St in the 1950s. He was a friend of my father. Anyone any memories of Frank and his family?

Thanks again. I suppose these dates are the thing that has caused the problem as I've always presumed that these are not the correct Davids.

Thanks so much again - this does seem like a possibility but as you say the dates are out. However, I understand that often dates were incorrectly entered. How close is Three Cocks to Glasbury? Sorry for my ignorance.

Thanks for contacting me again. I have found info on the 1841 census and 1871 census but am not sure if they are the correct Davids as I do not know the area that well to recognise small villages/hamlets that may be close to Glasbury. Could you email me direct at Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses.

In fact looking at the details I think the only real possibility is on the 1871 census which lists a David Price resident in Radnor Hereford lodging with a widow, Gwenny Davies a farmer of 30 acres - however he is listed as unmarried aged 43 and a Farm servant born Cwmdidur Radnorshire.
I know that from later censuses and the little family knowledge that by 1901 he was a farmer employing men so I do wonder if this is the same David. It is very strange that I can only find details of the family on later censuses ie 1891 and 1901.
The mystery continues.
Thanks again

I only know about his second wife who was Margaret Wanklin. He was a widower when he married her. 10/3/1875 date of marriage. Believe that a half brother was named Walter. Oldest child from second marriage was Albert - only able to trace him on 1891 census - believed to have gone to S Africa with half brother Walter.
Other children from 2nd marriage-
Matilda
Edith
Gertrude
Margaret Alice (Known as Alice)
Frederick David
Lily (my grandmother)
Reginald Spencer (often called Spencer)
Thanks again

Yes, that is them too. It really has been a problem as you can see. I too have found quite a few David Prices from Glasbury but no idea which 2 are the ones I need.
Many thanks for all your help and perseverence with this search.
Best wishes
Jenny

Yes that is correct. Their daughter Lily was my grandmother.

Is anyone able to search the Parish records to find details of Baptism for both father and son named David Price born 1825 and 1849 respectively? Both give Glasbury as their place of birth in later censuses and marriage cert of David born 1849. Would really appreciate details of siblings and parents as well as defined area.
Not sure if the part of Glasbury is found under Brecon, Radnorshire or the Hay district ?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Sorry will also get to Hereford and Powys record offices when I can as I know David (born 1849) and his second wife Margaret nee Wanklin ended up living at Byecross in Hereford - they were my paternal gran's parents.
But trying to get further back on this line really has proved difficult.
