Glamorganshire / Morgans at "The Cross" Little Reynoldston / Penrice
« on: Thursday 12 January 17 20:56 GMT (UK)  »
My Morgan family lived at "The Cross" in what was sometimes listed as Reynoldston and sometimes Penrice. On maps it's technically "Little Reynoldston". 

My question is, if anyone is from that area.. was there a farm/house called "The Cross" or does it refer to the area? I know there is "Little Reynoldston" farm further up the street and on some maps "The Cross" is marked as being between the crossroards and that farm.. on the same side of the road. (map attached)

Info about the family if anyone is interested:
William Morgan b. 1773 Porteynon married Sarah Smith. They were in the above area in very early 1800s. (based on children's baptisms)  William was at The Cross until his death in 1855.  After that his son, Richard Morgan, b. 1820, Reynoldston, lived there. He was married to Elizabeth Williams of Porteynon.  Richard lived at The Cross  until his death in 1901. He was very active in agricultural shows.

Richard's sons did not settle at The Cross. Richard Jr lived in Penrice Village and William moved to Swansea.

William's father John was born in Reynoldston in 1730 (son of William Morgan). John settled at Moor Corner in Porteynon.  I'm assuming that John's father may have left some land where John's son, William, eventually settled.

I'm descended through John of Moor Corner's son, Thomas, who settled at Moor Corner.  Thanks in advance for any info on "The Cross".

I had stumbled on this James when researching my Ratcliffe family.. so I have a little info on Mary.
Her line is not related to mine.. although mine lived in Stockton Heath at same time.
She is daughter of John Ratcliffe b. 1825 Lymm and wife Ellen
John was a waterman.
Mary is with parents and siblings in Stockton Heath/Appleton in 1851
She is with mother and siblings in Stockton Heath in 1861.. she was probably pregnant at the time.
She gave birth to illig. son John Ratcliffe in 1861. He was bapt 5 May 1861 at St. Thomas, Stockton Heath. ( I screencapped record if you want it.)
John is living with Mary and James in 1871.

Mary's father John and a brother , both born in Lymm, both Watermen.. settled in Stockton Heath.

Margaret and Leslie.. Hello !!
I have not been on this forum in a long time.. but I am in the final stages of putting the Ratcliffe book together..and have been randomly googling names to fill in blanks.. and this thread came up!!
I was able to copy a lot of info from your discussion..
I'm interested in birth info for children of Samuel and Beatrice K. Ellis. I only had names.. that's why I was googling this family. :)

BTW.. on Ancestry today, I saw someone with a tree for Nora.. but it had her birth year as 1912.. Samuel and Beatrice were married in 1916.. so I assume that the birthdate for Nora is incorrect. I put a note on the tree ( The amount of incorrect info on trees on Ancestry.. drives me crazy!!)

If you have any more info to share.. email me at mpitkin (at) live.com
That way I'll have current emails for you ..for when I finish the book.  I usually get them bound at Staples ( Office supply store).. but also publish as pdf that works on ereaders.

I'll be including only up to generations that are no longer living. I may include names of one living generation as "children of.." but won't include any birth info etc for them.

I look forward to hearing from you.. sorry I've been negligent with checking this thread!

Glamorganshire / Re: Frederick Bevan from Oxwich Castle, The Gower
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 21:01 BST (UK)  »
I'd be interested in seeing your line. My 3XGreat Grandmother was Sarah Bevan (she married Charles Morgan). Sarah was daughter of Rowland & Elizabeth Bevan of Penrice.  Rowland was son of Samuel & Elinor of Penrice.  Samuel was son of Francis & Mary of Oxwich Castle. I have the line back from there, but I like to do the lines forward too.. and while I have a lot of Bevan lines in to the mid to late 1800s.. I don't seem to have info on your Fred.  You can email me at mpitkin (AT) live.com

Exactly the problem!

The family does seem to have stayed closer to "The Bain" though out the years.. hence the leaning towards the Thimbley marriage.

Just found another record for marriage of one of Robert's daughters, Sarah, to John Timm..
in "Burgh ON BAIN" ;)

My ancestor is Robert Richardson who married Jane Toyne 1794 in Roughton. Robert and Jane settled in Fulstow. He died in 1848, so do not have birthplace from census. Robert and Jane's oldest five children all baptized in Kirkby on Bain. Last two children baptized Fulstow. Robert and Jane buried in Fulstow.

There is a Nathaniel Richardson in Fulstow who is assumed to be a brother.
Based on that connection.. most probable baptism for Robert is 11 Sep 1768 in Haltham.
There is also a Nathaniel bp 10 Apr 1774 in Haltham.. both sons of John and Ann.

Best guess at marriage for John and Ann is one in Thimbley in 1761. Bride's name "Ann Trollop"
Thimbley being so close to Haltham and Roughton.

The other possible marriage is John m. Ann Chapman 16 Apr 1761 in Greetham.

I'm trying to prove family connections for Robert and parents.. and then siblings.
I have research done by another person ..for a family member of mine, but since I have found other mistakes in their work, I'm going back over this family and trying to "prove" some of his assumptions.

I have a lot of info on Robert's descendents.. just having problems with his parents and siblings.
Any help appreciated!

I'll have to look at my records again.. the ones not in my database. My database only has individuals that I can connect to a family.  I have the family of Peter Stanford and Catherine Mulligan of Cornee, Mohill.. and they have a daughter Margaret, b. 1845, but she married Michael Degnan.  All of the other Margarets that I have in database are accounted for.. either by marriage or death. 

I cannot find definite connection between Peter Stanford and my Stanfords.. but descendents were often listed as "relative" pallbearers for my Stanfords and often lived near my Stanfords.  My assumption is that Peter was a sibling to James Stanford, father of one of my Stanford lines.. but can't prove since parish registers don't go that far back.

I'll send you a PM with my email address.

William...
 I cannot connect Margaret to my Stanfords from Mohill.. but I have saved some info on the family that I collected as I researched all Stanford connections in Mohill and New Haven.

Do you have any info on Margaret's parents or siblings that might help me connect her to my lines?
