Cardiganshire / Llanbadarn Fawr Monumental Inscriptions
« on: Friday 16 April 21 23:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

There used to be a very useful website put together by Penglais School which provided a full survey of monumental inscriptions from St Padarn's church, Llanbadarn Fawr near Aberystwyth.  This seems to be no longer online.

Does anyone know whether these are still available online in another location.

I am looking to find monumental inscriptions for Thomas Jones (d. 1824, b. 1766) and his family.  I think he may have been a merchant and shipowner of Aberystwyth.  I also think he may have been buried at Llanbadarn Fawr church.

Details I have for him and others of his family who may also have been buried at Llanbadanr Fawr are:

Thomas Jones
Wife - Jane
Sons -  Thomas, John, Evan, William. 
Daughters -
Winifred (Gwen) b. 1792 m. Lewis Jones 5/1/1819 Llanbadarn Fawr
Jane b. abt 1789  m. John Humphreys
Margaret b. 1790  m. William Julian, she was buried Llanbadarn Fawr 1864
Anne m. William Evans

Does anyone have access to a copy of the Llanbadarn Fawr monumental inscriptions, or can you suggest where I could find them online.

Many thanks,
KESTON.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup SCOGGIN/SCROGGINS

Hi,

I have just seen this post from a long time ago.

Joanne, if
You are still doing genealogy I am keen to make contact about your James Rugg who married Lydia Scoggins / Scroggins.

I am keen to discuss whether there are any links with my Ggg grandfather James Rugg (d. 1918, New Zealand).  My James Rugg came to NZ in 1861 as Chief Steward in the ship Minerva.

Many thanks,
Keston.

Many thanks,
Keston.

Europe / Re: Birth reference search Pomerania Poland

Hi,

I am very sorry for the delay with my reply to your messages.  I had not realised that I had received them.

Many thanks for this information.  It has helped me to link the family back to Europe.  The pictures of the model ship from the church at Steegen are particularly interesting.  Based on what I can glean by looking now at other records on Ancestry, Friedriche Wilhelm Wellm (b. 1837), who was the father of the Friedriche Wilhelm Wellm (b. 1871), was a fisherman. Am I correct about this? I understand that this would be why he gifted the ship to the church possibly?

His son Friedriche born in 1871, emigrated to New Zealand, originally I think as crew on board a ship.

Many thanks for the work you have put into searching on this for me and sorry once again I have taken so long to reply,
Keston.

Hi,

I have found a Merchant Seaman record which may be for a forebear of mine.  t is for James Rugg, b. 1831 Somersetshire on Findmypast.  He is listed as being on what looks like the ship Canning, which left London on 10 / 14 or 19 March 1855.

I have found this ship in the Lloyds Lists for 1855.  It says it was built by Somes Bros. at a place called "Molmn" in 1854 and was destined for a London India voyage. 

I have the British Newspaper archive but can't find details of any departures of this ship.  This may be because I am not searching properly though. 

I have also searched around for details on Somes Bros. but although I can see them referred to I can't see any details of them, even when I look on ships List websites.

I have searched to see if there crew's lists on National Archives, but it doesn't look as if they exist for this ship, which I know is not unusual. 

Could anyone please suggest where I might look to find details on the Canning and also Somes Bros.

Many thanks for all your help,
KESTON.

Europe / Birth reference search Pomerania Poland
« on: Thursday 20 February 20 23:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am wondering if Someone can help me with this one please.

I am searching for a birth reference for Friederiche Wilhelm Wellm.  Born 1870, Bodenwinkel, East Prussia.

After a search I have found this is now in Poland near Gdańsk and that the Polish name of the town or village is Katy Rybackie.

I have found the Genetela and other sites for searching for Polish records but have not had any luck in finding him.

Indications I have are that his parents may have been Friederiche Wilhelm Wellingtonians and Wilhelmine Justine Gabriel with a number of further generations going back.

It would be good if possible to Comfirm this by finding some records.

Many thanks for all your help,
Keston.

World War Two / Service numbers of WWII personnel
« on: Tuesday 18 June 19 11:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I would like to source records for a relative who we served a nurse in the Second World War.

I understand that records for this period are held at the MOD.  On this site though they say that you need a service number to request records.

Can anyone help with where this could be found or how records can be sourced if you don’t have a service number.

Many thanks,
Keston.
