Pembrokeshire / Abercych Forge Cych
« on: Sunday 26 February 17 17:01 GMT (UK) »
Wonder if someone could help. Margaret Jones, my G grandmother's birth certificate says she was born in 1849 at Forge Cych, Manordivy. Doing some research I find that this is actually in Abercych.
Her parents lived at Aberdwylan, Dolbryn hamlet, Cenarth and most of her siblings were born there. I have wondered why Margaret was born at Forge Cych.
Looking on the 1851 census [the one nearest to Margaret's birth ] it looks as if Forge Cych is a collection of small houses next to each other mainly inhabited by paupers and pensioners. Hannah's maiden name was Evans but I cannot find any link to Evans in the list of residents.
The only other clue maybe that at Forge Cych Mill there is a David Evans as Miller.
Now Hannah was born at Cenarth Mill in 1816 as her father, John was the Miller there. I can only trace two siblings for Hannah, John b. 1821 and Esther b. 1811.
David b. 1806 actually may be a bit old to be Hannah's brother and it looks as though he was born in Brongwyn ..... and the birth certificate does not say Forge Cych Mill just Forge Cych.
Can anyone link Hannah to David Evans at the Mill? Or any suggestions about Forge Cych. Would really appreciate any help. Thank you
