Welshgirl,
I am in contact with Selwyn and various relatives in USA.

Robert Parry son of Robert Parry and Anne Roberts, born  27 July 1821 LLanllyfni, baptised 5th August 1821, Salem Calvanistic Methodist, Llanllyfni.

I do remember finding and detailing a Robert Parry, who married a Martha Evans, but seem to remember on their marriage certificate that his pa wasn't Robert.  This was pointed out to me by a relative of mine.
Can you give me some details for your Robert Parry please.
G.

JM,


MY Ellis Williams born 1837 Llandwrog, Caernarvonshire, only arrived in Victoria 1855, returned to Wales 1870 "Great Britain". Returned for a holiday to Maryborough to stay with his wife's sister and family,  Eleanor Roberts; sadly Ellis died 1903 and was buried Maryborough Cemetery; Lizzie returned on her own to Llandwrog in 1904 - S.S. Medic,  she died 1924.

bitzar,

Wow, very interesting article, thank you very much.

To think that a minister would be officiating in a tent...............sounds incredulous to those of us in U.K., but we have to remember that at the time areas like this were just being inhabited.

Thanks again,
Glenys

R. Wilks,
Many thanks for your suggestion, however neither of my gt. grandparents were convicts; my gt.grandfather sailed to Australia 1855 on the 'Blue Jacket', unassisted. My gt. grandmother 1865 on the 'Oceanic', assisted.  He was a slate quarrier back in Wales, met my gt. grandmother in a Victoria hospital where she was working and attended to him when he sustained an injury.  Back in Caernarvonshire, Wales they had lived in villages only a few miles apart,  but had never met.

majm,

I have made contact with the Welsh church in Sebastopol as suggested by Judith, and have received an acknowledgement.

I have now found Aled House in 1911 census, but unfortunately Thomas and Anne Roberts were no longer living there.

It was next to Vron Cottage.

I still cannot find Thomas Roberts, butcher !!!
