Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Carmarthenshire marriage
« on: Saturday 24 July 10 08:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi!  I'm looking for the marriage of David Davis (or Davies).  He was born in Clyde, Pembrokeshire in about 1822 and  married a girl from St. Clear in Carmarthenshire.  Her name was Phoebe Evans (I think!) born in 1817.  Some of their children were born in Penrhydd.  Is that town still in existence?  I'd love to find out the church where their marriage took place and where the children were baptized. I expect the marriage to have taken place sometime around 1838 or 1839 as their first daughter was born about that year. 

Also, does anyone know if the town Penrydd (or Penrith) is still in existence?  I have a few ancestors that show either name as the birth place.  Thanks for any help!  Martha

Wales / Looking for Old Villages in Wales
« on: Thursday 22 July 10 07:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi!  I have worked on my genealogy for years and am brand new to this forum.  I need some help with old villages I found on several Wales Census records and I am a bit confused on the order of things and the proper way to write it.  Also, the census shows different birth places for the same person. 

My first question relates to the 1851 & 1861 Wales Census.  1851 shows the birthplace of my GGG grandfather as Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales.  1861 shows the birthplace for the same person as Clyde, Pembrokeshire, Wales.  Are Clyde and Pembroke the same town with a different name at a different time or are they two different towns?  Both records show his residence at the time of the census in the Parish, Town & Registration District of Merthyr Tydfil in Glamorgan.  What is the difference between a Parish, Town and Registration District?  What is the correct way to write the information?  For example, should it be written as Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales  and Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales?

My next question relates to street names on the Wales Census.  Is there any way to find out if the street is still in existence?

I appreciate any help available!

Thanks!
