Hi Readers

The Walton East, Pembrokeshire, census pages for both the 1851 & 1861 show the occupants of the farm Danycoed / Danecoed as being the Rowlands family wherein can be seen William Rowlands b1808 and his wife Anne with a calculated DoB of 1820/21.

Further research using GRO.com and their children’s names indicates Anne's Maiden Name to be 'Hudson'.

Using the Ancestry archive it can be 'seen' that the Civil Registration(?) of the couple’s marriage is recorded for both of them as: Narberth, Vol XXVI, page 983, albeit that in the case of Anne the details need close looking at!

However, the recording by FreeBMD of Anne's details have suffered a transcription error, being: page 933.

I have consulted the Help Pages of FreeBMD in an attempt to report this transcription error and have found them to be rather complicated to the point where I have 'given up' the attempt.  If any reader feels sufficiently confident in my research and can better understand the process for reporting errors, please feel free to do so.

Thankyou all part 2

My wording of the 1939 Register was (at best) misleading, apologies.

The prompt for posting the enquiry was caused by some years of finding the 1939 Register being presented on screen when a non year-specific search of censuses for <named individuals> was being conducted, whilst in my recent census searches with Batheaston addresses, I had not been aware of seeing the 1939 pages in with the various 18?1, 1901 & 1911 pages.

Rosie99:
I tried looking for the three names, together, but nothing convincing was seen amongst the options offered.

Emeltom:
I was referring to the search facility here on RootsChat,

antiquesam:
I have indeed used "Ancestry's" 'Census' Search facility, with considerable success, for many 1939 Register searches, across both England and Wales. But please read on.

However in the past hours I have used "Ancestry's" 'Census Search facilities for a number of different Gray's with Beatheaston addresses.  I have been given Census returns for single individuals for multiple years for each of them but none have included 1939.  It is almost as if the bundles of papers for Batheaston 1939 Register have 'gone missing'.

At this point I will repeat these comments refer to my searches via Ancestry.  I do not have a subscription with 'Find My Past', although I do from time to time access FindMyPast from the local public library, for very specific searches, but not in the past week.

I have this evening accessed from home, via Ancestry the link you offered, I used one name of interest (to me) with the Gray family name and Batheaston in the Location field.  I was offered an (unknown to me) number of pages of multiple 'given' names all with Gray as the family name.  I looked at the first 5 pages x20 per page.  There was not a single entry therein with a location that I recognise as a Somerset location.

Some of you with family and friendly ancestors living in the Bath or even the wider Somerset area might wish to make your own 'census' searches with Bath & 1939 in the appropriate fields.

Do any of you know if there is anywhere on the Ancestry website where I might discover if there is an "already known problem"?  I can't believe this isn't an "already known problem".

Hello Researchers & Readers,

After several years of working on the GRAY's of Batheaston and Cullompton, it has only recently dawned on me that I haven't seen any WWII Special 1939 Lists for those family members that lived in Batheaston at the time.

What am I doing that is not quite right?

I've used the search facility for "Batheaston and the 1939 List" and no results were shown.  Am I in the correct forum of the Bulletin Board?

Hello Fellow Researchers
I am researching the genealogical history of William Rowlands b1860, Llys y Fran, East Walton, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

I have reached the point where I want to add his wife to the tree whom I am comfortable to believe is Hannah John, b1870 Q2 Morriston, Swansea, Wales, who is known in the Civil Registration system as 11a 608.  However, finding the appropriate page in Ancestry is proving to be rather challenging! 

Entering Hannah’s details into Ancestry Search provides a link to the 11a 608 Hannah, but the associated and presented page is for the First Quarter, not the Second Quarter of 1870.

Can any readers provide a ‘work around’ to reach the Ancestry page for Rowlands Births, during the Second Quarter of 1870, without including a named individual in the search fields?
