Carmarthenshire / My Gower ancestors of Penboyr.
« on: Sunday 13 May 12 17:32 BST (UK)  »
My great great grandparents John (1801 to 1844) and Margaret Davies(1804 to 1869) Gower lived at Cilgraig, (site is still there) Cwmpenygraig in the parish of Penboyr. Apparently both were born in the parish and were married there 6 November 1827 (information obtained from Carmarthen FHS list of Carmarthenshire marriages). I've recently subscribed again to Findmypast.co especially to access and upload their Welsh parish records; however there is no record for my ancestors birth nor marriage there nor in nearby places such as Llangeler, although I do have their burial records. I understand that the main church St Llawddog was refurbished early 19c which could account for the gaps. Is anyone familiar with other churches in Penboyr where baptism, marriage and burial could have taken place?
