Pembrokeshire / Re: Richards of Sardis and Burton
« on: Wednesday 25 February 15 21:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Steve, thanks for contacting me. My Great Grand Mother was Ann Maria Richards, (she seems to have dropped the Ann and just used Maria in adult life).  I traced her back to living in Stoney Slade as Ann Maria in the 1861 census with her parents Thomas and Elizabeth. Just being known as Maria and not Ann Maria did give me some doubts but her marriage certificate has Thomas Richards as her father and in some Census her birthplace as Sardis. I have checked the birth certificates of the other Maria Richards that were born in Pembrokeshire around the right time and none match. So Ann Maria Richards birth certificate has her born in Southland 26 Feb 1855. So I firmly believe I have the right one.

She married, Benjamin Brown, a private from the 9th Regiment of foot (East Norfolks) in 1874 and later that year he left the army and stayed in PD. They had two children before his early death in 1886. She remarried (However I cannot find a marriage certificate for the claimed event) to William Jones, shoemaker, who later had the shoe shop at the bottom of (7) Meyrick Street and had five more children.

You will know a great deal more about the family than me and yes I am interested.

I'll PM my email

Regards
Mike Silburn

Thanks very much for the reply and my apologies for the mistake. It is Stony Slade. Thomas Richards was living there in 1861 and through to at least 1891.  During  his time there he had various occupations; as a labourer in the Dockyard and on the land;  two marriages and at least seven children at the last count.

The list of names I posted are the only ones that match a search for Noon in the database

Further detail for Patrick is

Burial Information:NOON, PATRICK
Record Number: 5365665
Date of Burial: 02/01/1907
Place of Burial:  Llanion Cemetery
Grave Number: 148
Grave Section: A
Grave Row:

Section A of the cemetry is I believe a part that has been 'restyled' Sections A - G were all cleared and surviving headstones placed in a circular pattern. If you use Google Maps and search for Pembroke Dock Llanion Cemetery and then look at the satellite image you will be able to see the circular pattern. Unfortunately the headstones weren't laid out in order just higgledy piggledy so finding a headstone, if there, and without a large slice of luck, needs a lot of patience.

You should be able to do the database search yourself if you use the link I posted. I'd be interested to know if it doesn't work.

Pembrokeshire / Re: Middle Street Pennar Pembroke Dock

I think I can answer my own question now. Checking all the family birth certificates I have it would appear that Middle Street was renamed Grove Street between November 1904 and June 1906

Thanks for replying and the information.
Yes that is him. I'm his descendant through his daughter Anne Maria. She dropped the Anne part of her name after 1861, and in all certificates and Census she is just Maria, which has made the job of tracing her back a bit more difficult. But the certificates show her father as Thomas and place of birth as Sardis and investing in the other Maria birth certificates of around her birth date have eliminated them.

Maria married Benjamin Brown, a soldier from the 9th Regiment of foot (East Norfolks) in 1874. He demobbed and stayed in PD, and after his death a decade later she married William Henry Jones, a shoemaker, although I can find no official record of this marriage.

I have a few dozen matches of baptisms and marriages from the Burton Parish records (from FindMyPast) for the Richards but haven't worked through them yet

There are 2 other Richard families in Burton in 1861 besides mine. Firstly, William Richards, 69, a Sawyer, born Llanstadwell and his wife Mary, 74, a Burton girl, living at Nash Mill with their grand children William and Annie Gunter and their son William. And  secondly the ones you mentioned, William Richards, 64, Farmer of 30 acres and his wife Martha, 67, both born Burton together with some of their children, Jenkins in laws, and nieces from the Williams family.

Thanks and Regards
Mike

Pembrokeshire / Richards of Sardis and Burton
« on: Friday 27 December 13 19:05 GMT (UK)  »
I have just started to seriously research the Pembrokeshire branch of my family tree so I am starting this thread hoping that someone else shares my interest in the family. My 2x Gt Grand Father Thomas Richards in 1861 was living in Stoney Glade, Sardis, Burton with his wife Elizabeth nee Lloyd and his 6 children. His occupation was a Dockyard labourer so it was a long daily trip down to Buton Ferry and across the haven.

Pembrokeshire / Middle Street Pennar Pembroke Dock
« on: Tuesday 09 July 13 17:41 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a family that in the 1901 Wales Census lived in Middle Street, Pennar, Pembroke Dock. Middle street doesn't appear on the present maps so I presume it has either been renamed or demolished.  The order of the streets in the census are Ferry Rd, Pennar Gut Cottages, Middle Street and Front Street all in Pennar. Anybody know what happened to the street?

regards
Mike

Just a small correction
South Brewery Street is in fact the modern Charlton Place.
The modern Brewery Street was named North Brewery Street
