Hello

I was wondering if anyone has a copy of this this? I believe originally written in Welsh then translated into English. On line resources state it contain information on William Rees of Cilfig Cottage, Llanelly an I am interested in what it might have to say. My own research shows William (1780-1861) was a Brick maker then Farmer of a small holding and contemporary records have him as the son of a Henry Rees who with a William Bowen set up the Calvanistic movement in Llanelly which led to the building of Capel Newydd in 1809.

Thank you

Hello

Is anyone able to please supply her DOB for me. She was born 1919 Pontyberem, Llanelly R.D. and is showing up in FindMyPast searches (which I don’t have full access to) but I can’t find her in Ancestry, maybe she is mistranscribed there. She is probably with her mother Annie born around 1899. With full DOB I may be able to find her on Ancestry. Thank you.

Hello

Frustratingly, in the attached entry from the 1921 census the months entry for the head of the house J(ohn) T(homas) Jones is unclear it is 60 yrs and ? Months. Hoping we might be able to come to a concensus as to what it might be. I have an idea, but I don’t want to say yet in case it influences others’ thoughts. Thank you

Hello

Hoping for help on this. Looking for earlier census entries for David and any more details on his death.

David confuses everyone, including himself on his date of birth. We know from details about him in the marriage certificate of his daughter Sarah Helena Evans (1897) that he died during the Great War after his ship was torpedoed. In Welsh Mariner’s index this corresponds to David Evans born 1854 in Llanelli certificate number 05335. From this I found his Mariner’s certificate on line which give his DOB as 17 Jul 1854. In later certificates he gives his DOB as 09 Jun 1854, Llanelli! He does not appear much in the census, presumably as he is at sea. In this marriage entry (1891) he says he was born 1857 and in the 1911 census in 1862!

His marriage entry states his father was also called David Evans and was also a Master Mariner. He should at least be in the 1861 census, but I can’t find him. He may be in the 1871 census but I know that they could start maritime training as early as age 12/13.

I attach an extract from Welsh Mariners list which gives a reference no. Regarding his death but I have been unable to find anything in relation to this.

His mariners records are here

Hi

Does anyone recognise the place of origin of the bride Hannah Walter in the attached. It looks like Llangwelach but it’s not a place I recognise. The marriage took place in St. Elli. The bride was not necessarily from Carmarthenshire

Thank you
