Glamorganshire / Re: Battram family - Mountain Ash/Penrhiwceiber
« on: Friday 23 June 17 19:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi. Thanks for your reply.  I'm still interested in the Battram family & now think I know where our families became connected.  Don't know if I'm allowed to do this (haven't been on here for a long time) but I was in contact with Margaret (your Mum?) some time ago.  If she still has my email address it hasn't changed & you're welcome to contact me on it.  if not please contact me on here again.

Hi David, saw your post & would like to know what information you're looking for.  I'm a member of the Coles family from Yniston Farm Leckwith & am currently researching my family history & the history of Leckwith.  Have also sent you a personal message but as not been on here for a long time am not sure if I sent it correctly.

Sorry only just replying as haven't been on here for long time.  Are you still interested in this family line?  Mary Jones was my GG Grandmother married to my GG Grandfather William Lewis.

Thanks for that, I'll have a look on the 1841 census.  I don't know when she moved to Leckwith or how she got there.  What doesn't help is that she was born before birth registration in 1837.  I think I'm going to have to try to find her birth on parish registers if there are any available but there will probably be a lot of Mary Joneses with father's name William born around that time.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to go on at the moment. 

My gt gt grandmother's maiden name was Mary Jones (don't know if Mary was spelled another way - that's how it appears on censuses etc) & her father was William Jones.  You can see how difficult it is with the names can't you.  On most censuses it says she was born in Cardigan, Cardiganshire except for one that says she was born Stepside Cardigan.  She was born about 1825.  She only spoke Welsh when she married my gt gt grandfather & I think she was a Non-conformist, possibly chapel.  There's a possiblity that she's related to a Winifred (sp?), Jones & an Elizabeth Jones who also came from Cardigan.  They all ended up in a little village called Leckwith, just outside Cardiff, where I grew up.  I wondered if it's possible her family worked at Stepside & maybe even lived nearby.  I've done some basic searching but it's not easy with so little to go on.

Thanks for your offer of help, if you can find out anything for me I'd be grateful.   As you can imagine searching for a Jones family so far back will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.  Do you know if there's a local history society in the area who may have some information?

Hi James

Thanks for your message.

You say you know the owners of Stepside - do you know if they have any information about the history of the farm?  I'm trying to find out about a Jones family who may have worked at the farm or lived in a cottage attached to it sometime in the early 1800s.

Canada / Re: Langley Prairie near Vancouver

Thanks for the information and link. I've just had a quick search but without success.  However, will keep trying. Have a feeling my William Lewis worked his way across Canada until he got to BC.  Think my next move is to find out if Langley Prairie (or Vananda, Texada Island where he seems to have ended up), have local history societies I can contact for more help.  That's my task for the next day or so as will be logging off soon.  Thanks again.

The Common Room / Re: ELVIRA
« on: Wednesday 31 March 10 22:27 BST (UK)  »
Sorry, should have been more specific.  I've an ancestor who appears on censuses as Elvira.  She was born about 1814, give or take a few years and I haven't found any parish birth records for her as yet.  The nearest are entries for Elizabeth and I just wondered if Elvira could be used as a variation eg a 'pet' name. It was just a long shot, in case someone else had found something similar.
