Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Finding the arms of Llywelyn Ddu of Cymmer
« on: Saturday 20 August 16 12:58 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I realise Welsh heraldry is a rather niche area, though I'm trying to find out what the blazon/arms were of Llywelyn Ddu, Baron of Cymmer-yn-Edeyrnion (various spellings).

In Lewys Dwnn's heraldic visitations (see below, page 125) he says that the arms of Dafydd ap Morgan of Crogen (in Merionethshire) were quarterly those of Owain Brogyntyn (argent, a lion rampant sable), and those of Llywelyn Ddu - but there's no indication as to what these are!

Merionethshire / Dwnn visitations - Trying to find relationship (Branas Uchaf family).
« on: Friday 19 August 16 17:34 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I have found that in the will of ffoulke Morgan (1636, Cilan, Llandrillo) he refers to 'Maurice Jones' as his nephew and I am having in difficulty in finding out exactly how.

ffoulke Morgan's pedigree is well documented in Dwnn's visitations (vol.2, p. 126) in which he is the son of Morgan ap Robert of Branas Uchaf and his second wife Jane ferch Thomas ab Ieuan ap Robert Chwith. For a visual pedigree of Dwnn's visitations see: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3ZDW-981

He is the only son recorded on the visitations and I had wondered perhaps if he had a second John, the father of Morris - though this is not recorded in the pedigree.

The only possibility from the visitations seems his half-sister Anne who married a John David ap John, though it is hard to pin him down.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Armed Forces / 3/4th South Lancashire Regiment (WW1)
« on: Tuesday 12 April 16 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I learn from the absent voters' lists (1918) that my ancestor, W.O. Jones, was serving in the '3/4th South Lancs.' I do not think any service records survive for him, but am hoping I will be able to find out more about his army career from regimental records, etc.

From what I can gather the 3/4th were based in the UK and only deployed to Ireland as a reserve battalion. Since he was a young man in his mid-20s I would have expected him to be deployed - is it possible he was previously in a regular battalion of the regiment and then transferred to this battalion following an injury perhaps?

Would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions for finding out more about his army service!

Thank you,

Cymraeg - Welsh Language / Help reading/translating this welsh pedigree in the Welsh Language
« on: Thursday 05 November 15 19:30 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me to read this pedigree - the full file is too big to upload so this is a small (and I think the main) section of a larger pedigree which gives other branches, and finding it quite a struggle to read let alone understand as I don't know any Welsh!!

Thanks in advance!!

Merionethshire / Jones/Foulke family of Llechwedd, Llandrillo - help finding where from..
« on: Tuesday 06 October 15 21:00 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

On a tangent from my last post, I'm trying to find out more about the Jones family of Llechwedd/Tyddyn y Merched, Llandrillo, and more specifically where the children of John (1738-1814) and Dorothy Jones (1743-1827) were born as they do not appear in Llandrillo parish registers:

John & Dorothy Jones' children were:
Giles b.1776, apprenticed to a Grocer in Oswestry, d. 1801
Richard, 1770-1840
Edward, 1774-1835
John, 1766-1829, moved to Oswestry
Catherine (m. John Lewis Jones, Clawddponken, Corwen)

This family share a gravestone with Elizabeth Foulkes (1730-1752) and her father Thomas Foulkes, Dinan, Llandrillo (died 1736), and I can't work out what the connection is to this family. There is a 'Foulke Jones' living in the early 1700s in Llandrillo but does not appear to be related.

If anyone can help with where this family came from it would be a great help! - they seem to have lived in Llandrillo yet no baptisms have taken place here!

Thank you in advance,

Wales / Moelyskedwi, Llandrillo and Thomas Jones, Corwen
« on: Sunday 20 September 15 21:06 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I am looking for more information about the family of Thomas Jones, Tre'r-ddol, Corwen, parish clerk, who lived 1740-1817, and how he came to possess Moelyskedwi. In his will (written 1814) he mentions that he owns lands in Llandrillo-yn-Edeyrnion called Moelyskedwi....and that his father is burried in Llandrillo - but it appears he did not get these lands form his father.

The will of Gwen Thomas, the widow of Thomas Thomas, Esq. of Garthgelynnen-fawr, Pennant Melangell, Montgomeryshire (dated 1799) mentions the indentures of lease/release (2nd/3rd July 1794) of Moelyskedwi between the above Thomas Jones ('late of tre'rddol, now of Corwen, parish clerk'), and several other parties, though appears to leave Moelyskedwi to a Thomas Jones, grocer of Llanfyllin - there appears no record of him leaving it to the Thomas Jones from Corwen.

Can anyone assist in finding out what Thomas Jones' relationship with the Thomas family was or how he came to possess Moelyskedwi from the other Thomas Jones of Llanfyllin? - or if anyone can help with finding more about thomas jones', corwen, parents would be a great help!

Thanks in advance,

Merionethshire Lookup Requests / Llandrillo graveyard
« on: Tuesday 01 September 15 21:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I came across the will of Thomas Jones (ca.1740-1817), parish clerk of Corwen who in his will asked to be buried in the same tomb as his father at Llandrillo. If anyone is local to the area, I would be interested to know if the grave still exists and it would be really good to see a photograph of it if so!

Thank you!

Sussex Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Jones born ca. 1810 Sussex
« on: Thursday 18 June 15 12:07 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I'm looking for the baptism of Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Jones ca. 1810 in Sussex: one census says she was born at Eastbourne, though her father was a soldier and stationed nearby at Hailsham in jan/feb 1810 and Bexhill in summer 1810 (Nut Barracks) so these are possible places too!

Any help much appreciated as I can't find any parish records for this area online!
