Hi Liz, can you contact me through the pm system.  Not sure how to use it.   Looking forward to the photo of Pentwyn that you have.   Also hoping you can help me decipher some of these wills.   Ellen

Sorry, I just realised you are not LizR.   Thanks anyway for the information.   I have been a bit frustrated today trying to get into one of these sites and find something, anything but have not been very successful.    Was going to give up but will now have another try with your information and hopefully will be very happy.   Thaks again.   Ellenby

ok thanks for that.  I have spent a good part of the day going in and out of Free Regs without much success.    I will try these.     Getting back to the wills - Morgan Grey uncle of my William and your John.  Would his birth date have been 1791 the same as Margaret's.  There is a census for 1841 with a Morgan aged 50 and Mary at Maeseglwys ?? which looks like the same place on his will.

Have managed to find the other two wills.  Am having a bit of trouble reading them at the moment so will have to get them on to the system so I can enlarge and see if I can work out the grandchildren etc.      Can you tell me what you mean by free reg.   

Thomas Grey and Alice are on ancestry as parents for Mark Grey.   You may be able to find a way of confirming that.

Did you find William, John and his Grandad John Davies on the 1841 census.     Have not found anybody on Ancestry yet who is researching this family, so it is good to find a cousin.   My (how many Greats) Grandfather William will  be your  (?Number of Greats) uncle.

ok, you are way ahead of me.  I only had Margaret Grey as John's wife and I thought that Evan was the Dad.  To make sure,  I found the will (don't ask me how just appeared one day on Google) leaving everything to Margaret his daughter and wife of JD.   This is really as far as I have gone.   I have no sisters or bothers for Margaret Grey, but from your information, she had a brother Evan born 1818.  I do have Mary and Evan in the 1841 census who I thought were the mum and Dad but had put them on the tree with a question mark.    I am loving all this information, but not sure whether I am going to be any help to you.  I have seen your tree on Ancestry, would it be easier if I got in touch with you through them.

Well that probably explains why John Davies did not have a son John Davies.   I was wondering as every other family has a child the same as the father.  You will have to excuse me as i am not the best at this.  I am using ancestry and once I get out of the time range, am a bit lost.   I do have a copy of the will for Evan Grey passing his goods etc to Margaret Gray (Davies).  I was happy when I found that because it is the only thing I have which links Margaret to John Davies.  This will is signed by John Davies, John Rees (Parish Clerk) and Thomas Thomas (butcher).  You may also have been told that Evan Grey is related to the Osmond Family.     I told my daughter this and her reply was, which one Ozzie or Sharon.

On the 1841 census for John and Margaret (Grey) Davies,  Penygorse, you will also find John Rees the Clerk and my 3rd GGF William Davies who is also a wheelright.  William lived at Pentwyn with his wife Mary.   William was married twice but Mary is the one who is my anscestor.   Thank you for the marriage date for John and Margaret.  Do you have a certiicate?    I don't have a death date for John or Margaret.  Actually I have just recently come back to this side of the family, have been in Scotland with my Mother's side. 

Anyway, it does seem that we are connected in some way.  Will be interesting to work it out.  I am also interested in your contact with William Davies but I will bet it is someone from his 2nd marriage to Jane.       regards Ellen

Hi, thanks for the reply.  Just found my way back on.  I am John Davies and Margaret Grey''s 4th Great Granddaughter, However I am stumped already as I don't have a son John Davies by John and Margaret.  I have ten children but no John.  My link is with William who had a son john Davies born 1837.  I guess if am either on the wrong track or I missed a son.  Can you tell me what children you have for your John and Margaret.     

John Was a Wheelright and lived in Penygorse. 

I am actually in Australia.    My Welsh Father immigrated in 1956.

Regards Ellen
