Pembrokeshire / Re: Priscilla Morris

« on: Saturday 01 June 19 23:50 BST (UK) »

Thanks to all,

I did not think to use the Newspaper Archive!! I believe there was a second Priscilla MORRIS at the time, but I believe she would have been too young in 1832.

I dare not show my face in public after this. (No smoke without fire)

Pembrokeshire / Priscilla Morris

Hi,
My paternal great great grandmother was called Priscilla MORRIS. She was born in Narberth in about 1802 - she was baptised in 1812 aged 10 years. I have just found a Haverfordwest court record for 1832 where a Priscilla MORRIS was found not guilty of larceny. Would there be any records detailing the allegations against this person?

Pembrokeshire / Re: Arthur Evans B.E.M.

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 14th March 1941:

The gunners who gave a splendid account of themselves in the recent attack on their trawlers were Mr. Arthur (Toddy) Evans, and Mr. Frank Hawkins. Mr. Evans, who has four brothers in the Services, lives at Pembroke Dock, his wife, before marriage being Miss Lilian Smith, Gwyther Street. He is a son of Mrs. Evans, Brooke Avenue, Milford. Hawkins, who is also in his 30s, is married, and lives at Shakespeare Avenue.

[ Mr. Evans was aboard the GRACKLE, and Mr. Hawkins was on the P & Y. ]

Pembrokeshire / Re: George EVANS (ca1806) and baptisms

Thanks. I assumed a private baptism was either a private baptism involving payment or as you say, at home due to the poor health of the child.
I assume therefore that Daniel was in a poor state of health after his birth and was given a private baptism, but was given a 'proper' baptism later?
Why was the singular team publicly specifically used for John? The term was not used elsewhere in this way?

Pembrokeshire / Geirge EVANS (ca1806) and baptisms

« on: Friday 29 June 18 21:30 BST (UK) »

Hi
I'm trying to find the parents of my gg grandfather George Evans by looking through baptism records hoping to find a connection of any(!) sort.
A possible is George EVANS bp 14 Jan 1806 in Steynton Parish of John and Mary EVANS.
The previous entry is John EVANS bp 14 Jan 1806 in Steynton Parish publickly(sic) of John and Mary.
In 1807 I found
Daniel privately bp 26 Apr 1794 and publicly bp 19 Jan 1807 in Steynton Parish of John and Mary.
The next entry is Enoch Davis(sic) bp19 Jan 1807 in Steynton Parish of John and Mary.
What is significant about the terms 'publickly' and 'privately'?
What is happening here?

Hi,

Agnes Veitch JOHN (nee FORD) died in 1996 in Hertfordshire. By the way, I have a copy of her wedding announcement in the Berwickshire News of 10th August 1926 to Clifford DENHAM. She was married on 4th August.

Happy New Year

Pembrokeshire / The Rock, Rickeston

Hi,

My g.g. grandfather has a listed birthplace in one census as 'Rock'. I have just found a place called 'The Rock' on an old OS map. Does anyone know what it was - a farm?
Happy New Year

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Baptism on 10 Apr 1842 or 16 Apr 1842

« on: Wednesday 07 October 15 22:55 BST (UK) »

Hi,
Thanks for your efforts!! Note:
1. I have the other conflicting transcriptions! Hence the difficulty!!
2. Sorry, I truncated the baptism page, ie the top entry, which was in 1841, and others have been cut out. Sorry about that.
Thanks for other suggestions. Were baptisms always on Sunday, apart from'special' days?
Regards
Ian
