Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me with a query. I'm looking for the wife of Lutley Barneby Esq, name Charlotte Beatrice nee Davies.
They married 24 Jul 1800 London, St Edmund The King and Martyr.

Lutley Barneby's born Oct 1764 Brockhampton, Herefordshire. The family is well documented all except him! Burkes History of the Commonors of Uk & Ireland.
I believe Charlotte B Davies Barneby may have been born in Cardigan?. (I have been chasing my tail looking for a Charlotte Beatrice Davies of Cardigan for some time c 1770)
National Library of Wales  and record offices have some references to Lutley.
Lease & Release property Havod Glandwr  in Moylgrove dated 1797
1801 Land Tax, name is mentioned in St Dogmaels.

Date    08 June 1838 - left freehold land and tenements ( none named) premises Llwyngwyn, Monmouthshire etc to wife Charlotte Beatrice Barneby
Death notice mentions died at his residence nr Abergavenny.
Cambrian death notice for Charlotte Beatrcie Barneby -    10 August 1844    CHARLOTTE BEATRICE,WIDOW OF LUTLEY BARNEBY OF LLWYNGWYN,MONMOUTHSHIRE,AT ABERGAVENNY

1841 census Abergavenny
Lion Street
Beatrice Barnaby 70 IND No
Wm Lewis 25 Maltser No
Ann William - Yes
Ann Davies 25 FS Yes

I have not found a will or admin for Charlotte. I have no idea where either of them may be buried. I have not found any children born to this couple. I'm not to sure of Charlottes age. marriage states of Full age, both previoulsy unmarried. I've looked for any details on the Parish records at Find my past to no avail. My last resort would be to post on the forum in Hereford, Cardigan, Pembroke and Carmarthenshire.
I thought Lutley Barneby Esq was going to be a breeze!
Many Thanks
Jane

Family search " Beta" has now on line St David's abstract of Wills. Some years are missing, however a huge help in research.

https://www.familysearch.org/
Click on Europe

This will take you to Historical Records Collection

Scroll to the bottom of the page to Wales

Click Wales Probate Abstracts or Browse images

Llandaff  and St David's is shown 1773-1780

Once you click on which ever Diocese St David's start from 1564 - 1836 ( with some years missing)

If you look at the National Library of Wales probate records and find the date, place name etc. The abstracts can with time be found. The first three pages of the year are Introductions etc. After which are the names and place. after this " Just Brilliant" if you have hours to kill! - Gives a list of every person named in the wills for that year.
Beneficiaries, Tenants, Debtors, witnesses, executors etc.

Remember you have to take into account these extra pages eg, Will numbered 1 - may start on page 32.
Once you have done some searching, you will pick up approx where to start.
Happy Hunting.

I wonder if someone with local knowledge has ever heard of the name of this hall
" MAESNYADWEN HALL "

I have looked at the maps, and nothing jumps out at me. It is written quite clear in the 1861 census.

RG9/4236 Folio 8 Page 9

I have family living at this residence, Owen Lewis, who's occupation was a builder & Contractor - employing 4 Masons, 5 Carpenters, 3 plasterer's, 4 labourers and 3 boys.

I just wonder if he was employed to fix up this Hall?? and took up residence??
Owen Lewis, other than his wife has six male lodgers, whom I'm sure we're in his employment.

Has any one ever come across a situation like the one above??
Thank you
Jane

Can any one help try to make this photo some what good. I'd like to use it on my profile.. Family wedding including great grandparents. The Bride who later in life thought she was rather posh!! destroyed all wedding photo's. I happen to come across this photo by contactng rellies in Aus, where I happen to live ( wrong side) even the brides own children had never seen this photo.
The photo was under processed if that is correct but the only original I came across was badly under exposed.
I have tired several photo programs, but just seem to destroy faces and images so badly.
Thanks in advance.
