Cardiganshire / Farms in Tregaron
« on: Friday 11 September 15 19:48 BST (UK)  »
During my researches into my family history a few farms in Tregaron keep popping up.

In particular:

Fforest/Forest - My GGGG-grandfather Nathaniel Jones and his wife Margaret owned/lived here from 1841 (the earliest at which I can confirm them there so far) until Nathaniel's death in 1880(?). Their 11 (tbc) children were born here, including Evan.

Argoed Fach - My GGG-grandfather Evan Jones, worked/lived there with his wife Mary Jones sometime around 1875 - 1877 (that I have confirmed so far). Two of their three children were definitely born there, including my GG-grandfather, Nathaniel.

Pencefn - Mary Jones nee Jones, Evan Jones wife, was living here at the time of their marriage in 1874.

I believe Pencefn and Argoed Fach were neighbouring farms.

My question is, does any have any information on these farms, do they still exist, the history of each, etc?

Thanks

Carmarthenshire / Sarah Ann Rees 1874 Llanelly
« on: Friday 04 September 15 20:47 BST (UK)  »
My great great grandmother Sarah Ann Jones nee Rees born c.1874 is connected to Llanelly. I believe her family are from there, as she moves there (1900/01) with her 3 children (John Evan "Jack", Mary Dorothy "Dorothy" and Nathaniel [who dies in Llanelly aged 14]) after her husband, Nathaniel Jones, dies out in Africa during the Boer War.
I believe Sarah's parents to be John and Mary Rees. When Sarah moves back to Llanelly it is to move in with her widowed mother.
Any info greatly appreciated.

Carmarthenshire / Henry John Parker, Llanelly 1923
« on: Friday 04 September 15 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am trying to find out about my grandfather's father Henry John Parker. I know he was living in Long Row, Llanelly in 1923/1924.
I have found a HJP who lived in the Llanelly in 1911, but without access to the 1921 census and local electoral records, I can't be sure it is him.
Any info much appreciated
Amanda
