Cardiganshire / Evans of Gogoyan, Llanddewi Brefi
« on: Saturday 26 April 14 20:53 BST (UK)  »
I may be related to the Evans family of Gogoyan, Llanddewi Brefi. I think my 2x grt grandfather Jenkin Rees b Llangybi (c1814-c1882) married a Mary Evans in 1848 at Llanddewi Brefi. I believe this could have been Mary Evans (1828-1895), whose father was John Evans, (1791-1857) who was born and died at Gogoyan. Mary's sister, Diana, had a son called Jonathan Ceredig Davies, author, traveller and expert on Welsh folklore.
However, I am not 100% sure. I live a long way from Wales and can only rely on online records. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Other Countries / James Jones, India
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 16:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. I am trying to trace the origins of JAMES JONES (1822-1908).

He was married on 26 Feb 1851 at Black Town, Madras, India to CECILIA CORNER. His father was HENRY SULLIVAN JONES.

James died on 14 Jan 1908 in Madras and was buried the following day.

His daughter, EMMA EVELINA JONES, was my 2x grt grandmother.

I cannot find a birth in India for James so suppose he was born in the UK.

I have found a James Jones on the IGI born about 1822 in Horsham, Sussex, but have no idea if this is the correct one.

Can anyone help please?

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Morien Morgan
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 09:48 GMT (UK)  »
I believe I'm related to the late MORIEN MORGAN who married well-known writer ELAINE MORGAN (nee Floyd). They both came from the Pontypridd area.

I think Morien, who was born about 1916, was a relative of my grandfather, LEWIS LLEWELLYN REES (1891-1970). The 1936 obituary notice for my grandfather's mother, MARY ANN REES (1864-1936), of Ferndale, mentions several Morgan relatives, including an uncle, JOHN MORGAN, of Ynysybwl, and cousins REES MORGAN, Machynlleth, and J.MORGAN, Ynysybwl.

Morien was a French teacher at Aberdare Grammar School and a Spanish Civil War veteran. 

I'm trying to find a connection between these Morgans and Morien Morgan. Can anyone help please?

Cardiganshire / Rees of Llangybi area
« on: Saturday 04 February 12 15:15 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find a baptism for my 3 x grt grandfather EVAN REES, a blacksmith, born about 1790 in Cardiganshire and living in Llangybi in the 1841 census.

I think he married MARY JONES in 1815, who was born about 1794 in Cellan. Her father was THOMAS JONES. The last census in which she appears is 1851 in Llangybi as a publican. She is described as married but Evan isn 't in the 1851 or 1861 censuses for Lampeter or Tregaron.

Can anyone help?

Pembrokeshire / Griffiths of Cilgerran
« on: Thursday 02 February 12 19:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Does anyone have any info on my 3 x grt grandparents JOHN and ESTHER GRIFFITHS, of Cilgerran? ESTHER was born about 1805 in Cilgerran where she died on 31 Dec 1890. I have info on their children and marriage (1830) but cannot find their baptism records. John was born about 1805/8 in Cilgerran.

John worked away from home (he is absent from their household in Cilgerran in the 1841 and 1851 censuses). At this time Esther and her children were living with Hannah Davies, b 1776/80. She may have been Esther's mother. A William Davies was a witness at their wedding.

Any help would be gratefully received,

Alison
