Hello K Rees. Thank you so much for this information. I look forward to studying it more soon. Thanks again for sending it to me.

The Common Room / Re: BMD certificates from General Register Office Southport
« on: Saturday 15 July 17 20:39 BST (UK) »
I'm sure things will get sorted, but I would like a flat certificate in an A4 envelope and would be happy to pay. An A5 envelope with no cardboard is bound to get creased on occasions.

The Common Room / BMD certificates from General Register Office Southport
« on: Saturday 15 July 17 20:25 BST (UK) »
Has anyone else had a problem with the copies of BMD certificates being sent from Southport in flimsy envelopes? It is bad enough that they fold them in half, but the envelopes have no card in them to keep the certificate from being crushed. I have only sent for a couple, but the last one was crumpled in the post. It seems a poor do for £9.25. I complained and they sent a pre paid envelope for me to return it and send me another, but that might also be damaged as they refuse to use better envelopes. Plus all the extra bother of doing all this to and fro business. The GRO say it is to keep costs down, but I would gladly pay a bit extra to be sure I get a pristine certificate. Has anybody else had experience of this?

Family History Beginners Board / Shipwrights in Pembroke Dock/Sheerness 1850's
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 20:51 BST (UK) »
My family research shows several family members living in Rosemarket, Pembrokeshire in the mid 19th century and were shipwrights working in Pembroke Docks. Some then moved to Sheerness, Kent, to work in the dockyards there. Does anyone know why they would have moved specifically to Sheerness, some distance away, or where I could find some information regarding this?

Rebecca (born and living in Rosemarket around 1794, wife of Isaac Harries, shoemaker, born Stainton 1791) is the daughter of Richard Rees/Mary Mathias. Interesting about the 1841 census for William Rees that you have provided. The brothers that you ask about, that info has been taken from Ancestry public family trees, so don't know how valid you think that is. I don't understand your last sentence about children born 1801 and Richard 1784.

Hello. My research suggests besides Rebecca and Richard, there were 2 more brothers, James Rees b 1811, married Ann (maiden name unknown) on 1841 census Ref HO107 1449 21/5 5. On that census he is an agricultural labourer, later working as a sawyer in dockyard. However birthplace put as Llanstadwell so?
Also a William Rees b1801 on 1841 census H0107 1449 21/6 6 living in Rosemarket with brother Richard and a Mary Williams. William is put as a tailor, but after that census he's been hard to trace. Without baptism details of course, difficult to know for certain. I have looked for baptisms but without success. Contact with archives at Haverfordwest say that baptism records have not survived for the time Rebecca was born for Rosemarket around 1794. The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth also say Bishops Transcripts prior to 1799 for the village have not survived.

Thank you for that excellent information. Yes, that is the Richard Rees on the 1841 census that you mention. Other sources suggest Richard married a Mary John, but I did not find any evidence for this. This seems more likely. I have baptism details of a Richard Rees for 28 February 1763 in St. Michael, Pembroke, father Thomas, but I am not sure if this is the same Richard.

Thanks for the replies. I will look into them. If anyone knows anything about Richard Rees born around 1760 I would be interested.
