Carmarthenshire / Re: Richard Thomas/Jane Jenkins m. 1886 LLANELY

P.S. I note that Elizabeth A Thomas servant 17 general servant b. Pembrey
      is living with Ann at the Inn in 1891.  Perhaps Pembrey might also be
      the birthplace of Richard Thomas?  I also see a Richard b. 1861 in
      Glamorgan but can't view the record.

osprey,

I went back to the census record for John Thomas that you had
posted earlier in the thread.  It shows a son William as well as
Richard, but that William is just a bit too young (by ~5 years)
to marry Ann Jenkins.  Also, that John is deceased by 1871 and
not a farmer.

The 1886 marriage certificate lists William Thomas as a witness,
and John Thomas as a farmer.  I suppose it's possible that
Richard was not even born in Llanelly, but in a farming district
nearby.  Does Richard's address on Christopher St help?

BTW, while searching for the Odd Fellows I found an old post
from 2000 on RootsWeb from someone looking for info on
Mary Ann Jenkins who was married to Robert O. Jones in
1885 and listed her residence as Odd Fellows Inn.  She is
the older sister of Jane and listed on the 1871 census.

Regards, -K-

uurp,

Thanks.  I would be interested to know of Ann is buried
there, whether her marker says Thomas or Jenkins (and
maiden name if possible), and who she's buried near.  A
photo would be priceless.

I believe the old Melbourne and Odd Fellows Inns were
knocked down to build the present Melbourne Hotel:

osprey,

Many thanks.  I found a photo online:
http://llanelli-history.co.uk/pubs_oddfellows.htm

It's odd that Ann is listed in 1891 as "Ann Thomas"
and that the oldest daughter living with her is also
called Thomas while the others are Jenkins.  There
seem to be additional connections between the Thomas
and Jenkins families.  The addresses for Richard and
Jane appear to be but 2-3 blocks apart.

Thanks, -K-

Any additional information that you can provide re: ancestry for these
individuals would be greatly appreciated.  Based on the above, I
believe Richard's birthdate would have been Oct 1860-1 and Jane's
was Jan 1868.

I'd be happy to reciprocate with info from this side of the pond if I can.

Carmarthenshire / Re: 1861-81 Census Richard Thomas abt. 1856-7 LLANELY
« on: Friday 18 March 11 18:34 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your advice.

I ordered the marriage certificate; it should be here in some weeks...
The family story is that Richard was a miner in the US, but I cannot verify
this as the 1890 US census was destroyed and the earliest record I have
for him is 1900.

Would it be bad form to cross-post this request under "Thomas/Jenkins
m. 1886" in case there are Jenkins researchers out there?  I'd identify
it as a duplicate of this thread, of course...

Thanks again, -K-

Carmarthenshire / Richard Thomas/Jane Jenkins m. 1886 LLANELY
« on: Friday 18 March 11 00:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello from Boston!

I am looking for any information on Richard Thomas and Jane Jenkins,
recorded in the Oct - Dec 1886 Marriage Index, Vol 11a pg 1214.
They emigrated from Llanely to PA, USA in 1887 and were living in
Yorkville Borough, Skuylkill, PA, USA by 1900.

I believe Richard (possibly David Richard) was born in Oct 1856-8,
Jane was born in Jan 1868 (this from US census data).
Children in US: Thomas, Mar 1887; David O, Sep 1888, etc.

I am interested in any info, including ancestors for each.  Many thanks!!

-K-
