Hello,

I'm looking for the origins of William Roberts born ca. 1824, who married Eleanor Michael in St George's Church, Parish of Bedwelty (I'm assuming this is the church in Tredegar?), in November 1851.

They had 2 daughters Eleanor and Ann and lived at Twyn Carno in Rhymney, with Eleanor running a local shop. Then William died in March 1860 aged 36.

William is a Collier and his father, also William Roberts, is a Joiner (according to his son's marriage certificate).

Eleanor Michael is from Cilgerran in Pembrokeshire, but I've no idea where William is from.  Eleanor is already lodging in Rhymney on the 1851 census, so why would they get married at St George's?

Any ideas anyone?

Hi there,
I have a copy of the parish register which shows the baptism of my ancestor Thomas Jones in March 1850.

His parents are David and Elizabeth Jones of Tredegar Row in Rhymney.

I have some information that suggests he has siblings Elizabeth, William and perhaps David also.
However I cannot find them on the census in 1851 or 1861.

Can anyone help?

Thanks 

Hi there,

I am searching for my gt-gt-gt-grandmother Sarah SAINT with no luck so far.  She is born between 1809 and 1819 (according to which census you read  and is from Worcestershire/Staffordshire (either Dudley or Wednesbury) until 1881 when she is suddenly from Ripley in Derbyshire 

Her maiden name of SAINT appears on her son's birth certificate (it was difficult to read but the register office has confirmed the name), but I can find no marriage for her to her husband John PRICE in either Staffordshire, Worcestershire or Derbyshire.

The family are in Dudley or Oldbury until mid 1850s when they move to South Wales and from then on all is fine - I've found their gravestones etc and have the death certificates, I just have no info on where they were born or where they married, why (if she was from Ripley) did she end up in Dudley after her marriage etc.

To all you experienced researchers, please could you give me some suggestions on where to look next (I've tried the IGI and no luck - even assuming that she got married before she married John Price has yielded nothing...)

Thanks
Helen
 

Hi there,

I'm still on the chase for the origins of my elusive gt-gt-gt-grandmother Sarah Saint who married John Price and settled in the Dudley/Oldbury area, before moving to Wales mid 1850s.  Having seen her gravestone, I'm keener than ever to track down who she is and where her family came from.

I cannot find a potential marriage (would've been mid-1830s or so) but I am asking if someone has access to the marriage records of St Thomas in Dudley as there is a marriage between John Price and Sarah Horton on 12/9/1831 on IGI and I'm curious, as I have found a Sarah Saint born in Horton, Staffordshire and wonder if the transcription is correct...

I'm going down any avenue,  however blind, at the moment...

Hope someone can help

Hi there,

I'm looking for a marriage between Sarah SAINT born ca 1812 in Duffield or Ripley and a John Price born ca 1807 in Worcestershire.  I've looked for their marriage in Worcestershire (where they lived until mid-1850s) but no luck.  Now I have info that Sarah was actually born in  Derbyshire, so it would be great if I could find their marriage in this county too.
Their first son is born in 1838, so the marriage is likely between 1830 and 1838 or so.

Hope someone can help
