Monmouthshire / Re: Sowhil - Pontypool?
« on: Sunday 04 April 21 16:02 BST (UK)  »
The Sowhill - "Sowull" is the High Street area leading from Pontypool Town up towards The Tranch.
Name comes from the Pigs of Iron that was transported up over the steep hill to the forges.

I dont know the Parish, or area, but i am guessing its Kerry.

His name is Patrick Falvey born 1833 and his father is Michael Falvey.

The wedding cert i have is from 1853where he marries a Mary Lundrigan (Also from Ireland somewhere) and gives only Ireland as "Born In"

He was married in South Wales UK, so left during the famine i guess. Lot of guessing i know.

Thanks

Darren

Its my G G G Grandfather, Patrick. I have his marriage cert from 1853. His age is 20 so 1833. Born in Ireland. No area or town. His Father is Michael.

On looking through all the possibles it gives me a Patrick - Father Michael,  but year of baptism is 1838, making him 5 at Baptism.

There are 8 possibles, but only one has ML as father. all the others are totally different names.

Thanks

Hello all,

Would it be out of the ordinary for some one born in Ireland in 1833, to be baptised in 1838?

I can only find one match that fits names and it gives these dates.

Just wondering if im going wrong with it.

Worth looking for TALYWAIN nr Pontypool. There was a Rev Bluett there in the 1850s. It has a road named Bluetts `Road, a Bluetts Lane and a Bluetts Bridge.

Hi, have also been trying to find out about this feller for a while, Jackie Tara arrested at the Quarry Level Riots in 1926.  Was also told he lived above the Laundry on High St and was sold to the circus.
