Looking for any info on a William Henry Clarke buried in Maenclochog Parish Churchyard  Dec 1949 age 69.  Living at Gilfach Lloi, Maenclochog.  I cannot pick him up from any of the census records so believe he must have come from away. ???

Pembrokeshire / Registry Offices
« on: Friday 27 May 11 09:41 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know when Registry Offices performed marriages in their own offices?   I am looking for the building in Narberth where these were conducted in late 19th century.   Searching through the censuses I can find a Registrar of Marriage in each census year (1851 - 1911)  but it would appear it is their own homes that are their offices.    The 1854 act set up General Registry Offices in every parish but  I do not think that allowed marriages in their own offices? ???

Carmarthenshire / Llanelly workhouse
« on: Tuesday 29 June 10 11:24 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find information about a Master of Llanelly Workhouse during the period 1841 -1850.  His name was Stephen Rees.  I have looked through the Board of Governors Minute Book for Llanelly but apart from a brief mention of his wages there is no other info.  Would they advertise the Masters job in a local Newspaper?
He is listed in the 1841 census as Master of the Workhouse together with his wife Mary Ann, Matron but by 1851 I believe he had moved to Pembrokeshire.  This was the Rebbecca period so I had hoped to come across a mention of him but so far no luck.  Anyone got any suggestions?
