Glamorganshire / Re: Marriage lookup please Thomas/Bowen
« on: Monday 20 February 17 13:15 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you all for your replies. I was hoping the marriage would be available to view online somewhere as I wanted to know if I have the correct Thomas H Thomas (born in Castle Dyrran/Clynderwen Pembs) Father John Thomas occupation Tailor, before going ahead and purchasing a marriage certificate. I guess this is the only option now. Once again thank you all for your help, much appreciated  ;)

Thankyou for your reply.
She was indeed in a rural location,so as you suggest she was most probably a farm worker or similar.

Wales / Another word for Servant???
« on: Saturday 28 April 12 12:12 BST (UK)  »
Have just come across an ancestor with the occupation listed as " Labouring Woman" ?
Could this be she was a servant or possibly mean she was a midwife?.
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks very much for your help with my enquiry.

I think you were right with John/Catherine and family.
Ive only just looked again at my post and the Witness,s at Johns (son) wedding to Mary along with his father john Morse was a John Thomas.
He was most probably John Thomas who was  John Morse seniors employer!! if that makes sense..
Thankyou once again  :D

Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage lookup Please!!!

Hello  ;D

Thankyou very much for the information that you have found for me  :)

This is looking very promising indeed,infact I am sure we have the right family..

I had Benjamins Birth from his GWR records as the date mentioned, so presume this is correct ?
If he was born at "West Rose"  inbetween Tavernspite and Red Roses,could that come under Llandowror Carmarthen District?
I think I will now have to find his parents marriage which would have been between 1851-1854 hopefully in Red Roses/Llandowror area which would make sense..

Benjamin spent his life working on the GWR Railway and progressed to Station Master,living at Castle Dyrran (Clynderwen)  was obvioulsy where the story starts .

Many thanks once again  :-*

Hi Mabel,
I have made a note of this family as a possible match for my Benjamin.

I have just ordered a Marriage Certificate for Benjamin so hopefully I will be able to move on with this once I find out his fathers name for sure.
Thanks for yor interest.

Best wishes

Hello Back again  :-\

Took your advice and ordered a copy with the GRO.
Well that has arrived and im now more confused than ever... ???
I think I need to start from scratch and forget the family mentioned above...

I have Benjamins date of birth as 2nd April 1854.
Place of Birth, well on several of the census returns it is St Clears, on one it is Llandwr,and another it is "The Roses" which made me think Red Roses.
The copy certificate which arrived is for a Benjamin Thomas born in Llangynnin (which I know is just outside St Clears) but different birth date.
I think the next step is to find his wedding certificate to find out his fathers name for sure.

Thank you.
