I now have the Death Certificate. James Stephenson Thompson was born on 21/10/1931 in Belfast, NI. I cannot order the B/C until I know his mother's forename and surname, (surname possibly Thompson), but have no idea of forename.   Any thoughts on how I might trace this.

I do have Samuel's B/C. His mother is recorded as Mary Ann Rees, formerly Cornish, (nothing else).

I also have Mary Ann's D/C. She died 11/10/1859, address: Robert St, Milford, Steynton.   

I also have the M/C for David Rees, (aged 55), and Martha Evans, (aged 44), 04/11/1860.

Pembrokeshire / Rees family from Steynton, Pembrokeshire.

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone can help.

I have a DNA match with someone who is matched as my half fourth cousin but cannot find the connection.

My 4 x great grandfather was a man named Thomas Rees, a labourer, born in about 1769 in Steynton, Pembrokeshire and who died on 12/12/1846. He was possibly the Thomas Rees born on 27/07/1769, in Short Row, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, to Thomas and Ann Rees. If correct was baptised 18/02/1776 at The Brethren's Chapel, St Thomas's Green, (Moravian), Haverfordwest. 

Thomas married Martha Williams on 15/11/1804 in Steynton.

Thomas and Martha went on to have my 3 x great grandfather, David Rees, who was born on 08/12/1805 in Steynton.

David married Mary Ann Cornish in about 1840, (I have been unable to trace a marriage). Their first child, Hannah, seems to have been born in 1842 in Steynton, (I have been unable to trace a registration of birth for Hannah), their second child, Martha, was born in 1844, (died in 1847), and then they had my 2 x great grandfather, Samuel Benjamin Rees, who was born on 17/09/1845. 

The person that I have the DNA match with has recorded that their great grandmother was a lady named Alice Maud Rees, (birth probably registered in Q3 1882 in the district of Pembroke, Wales, name just recorded as Alice Rees).

Alice's parents were James Rees, (born in Stainton, birth probably registered in Q4 1837), and Martha Thomas. James and Martha were married 13/12/1862 in the Parish Church of Dale, Pembrokeshire, Wales.   

The parents of James Rees were Erasmus Rees and Sarah Jenkins, who married 05/10/1820 at St Thomas, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, (witnesses were William Thomas and Peter Hancock). Erasmus was born in about 1791, and wife, Sarah in about 1796.   Erasmus died in 1853.

Alice Maud Rees went on to marry John Albert Bevans in Q2 1905 in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales. 

There must be a link because of the DNA evidence but I am struggling to find it.  On the DNA match James Rees, (born 1837), is recorded as a son of David Rees, (my 3 x great-grandfather, born 1805). This seems to be incorrect as I have traced James and his parentage seems to be as above. 

Perhaps Erasmus was a son of Thomas Rees, my 4 x great-grandfather, and a brother of David, maybe from an earlier marriage??.   

Any advice, as usual, gratefully received.

Kind regards,

Coreen

Hi Colin,

Yes, we have his M/C, which records his name as James Stevenson Thompson, (no father named). We believe he was probably in London in the 1960s as a member of the family sought him out and found him living there. I have no other details.

Kind regards,

C.
