Breconshire / info on Amelia Meredith records
« on: Friday 29 January 21 23:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi thanks for any light on this.  Amelia (Emilia) born 1850 Tredegar married Evan Samuel 14.3.1868
Last babe 1875 then in 1881 in the Abergavenny Lunatic Asylum and stayed thereabouts 1891 1901.  I cannot find her in the 1911 census even on card catalogue or in fam search ancestry etc.  She died in Hay Breconshire 1930.  She was apparently not able to give an account of herself in 1881.  As people often went to such places for a variety of reasons only some of which were psychiatric I am interested in 1.  the diagnosis in case she had eclampsia and had a stroke and 2. where she was in 1911.  cheers

My Mother told me Margaret and William Barry ( M McG) fought about religion all their lives as he was RC and she was ? Anglican.  All the boys were raised as RC and the girls as Protestants.

My GGMa!  I also am looking for info.  Her brother was Michael McGuire born 1834 and there is a church in Youghal (proddy) where there is beautiful stonework done by one Michael McGuire a mason.  I believe he might be my GGGDa.  The churchyard is full due to the Great Famine and so there are unmarked graves over the fence in a paddock.
You will find Margaret McGuire and my GMa Margaret in the 1901 census at 38 Amherst St Grangetown Cardiff.  My Gma married John Clarke and it is showing her first 2 x children Mary Ann known as Polly and John plus Margaret McGuire widow  and her son James Barry and his boys James and William. Then Michael McGuire also widowed and a boarder.
