Carmarthenshire / rowlands + GRO ref help please x
« on: Wednesday 17 February 10 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
im having major difficulties finding info on Theophilus Rowlands, i have his marriage cert -he married mary Anne harris in glamorgan in 1865, his father is named as isaac rowlands (farmer).

i have him on the 1871 census (penarth) with his wife and 2 children , from that i get his year of birth (1840) and where he was born (camarthan town)

the only births i can find in 1840 ish in camarthan town are for :-
evan - 1840
owen - 1841
william -1841

now im thinking that owen may be the best candidate (lots of owens in the family) so i was going to order the birth cert - but i need the GRO ref and cant find it !

all help and advice is much appreciated

i am trying to find the parents of Frederick Frowen - born 1871 -woolaston,

i have found him in the 1881 census living in woolaston with his grandparents mary and henry and their children,

i have also found him in 1891 again with his grandmother (now widowed) and grans daughter lizzie (elizabeth) in woolaston

he crops up in 1901 this time with his aunt lizzy (elizabeth) and her husband albert biggs with their children -again in woolaston also there is an edith there born 1890. his gran died in 1896 -explaining him living with his aunt.

i can find no record of his birth -and no record of him before 1881 - and i am trying to find out who his parents were -and why he was living with his grandparents?

i have him marrying alice shillam jun 1910.

anyone able to offer any advice ?

Family History Beginners Board / finding a grave?
« on: Saturday 02 February 08 14:02 GMT (UK)  »
hope this doesn't sound too morbid !!
id like to take my dad to find his grandads (my gt grandads) grave, we think we know where he was buried -and we know when he died - is it just a matter of going to the churchyard and searching - or are the plots numbered and mapped?

dad said he tried to find it years ago, but gave up searching through the undergrowth after a while!

would the death cert tell us where he was buried , in case dad has got it wrong?

cheers again all !!
