Hi
Yes I think you're probably right. I just thought maybe someone else had the Evans in their family tree. Thanks for helping me anyway!
Cheers,

Hi,
I appreciate all the info you have sent about the Davies family, but I already have most of those details. It's Llangynllo in Ceredigion, north-west of Newcastle Emlyn.
My problem is not being able to 100% confirm my link to the Evans of Gogoyan and JCD as the only records I have to go on for a marriage between Jenkin Rees and a Mary Evans is 1848 for the Lampeter District and also banns being read in Oct and Nov 1848 at St David's Church, Llanddewi Brefi. I can't find the actual marriage record, which would give details of their fathers and professions etc. There could be more than one Mary Evans around at that time.
Thanks,
Caulfeild

Cardiganshire / Evans of Gogoyan, Llanddewi Brefi
« on: Saturday 26 April 14 20:53 BST (UK)  »
I may be related to the Evans family of Gogoyan, Llanddewi Brefi. I think my 2x grt grandfather Jenkin Rees b Llangybi (c1814-c1882) married a Mary Evans in 1848 at Llanddewi Brefi. I believe this could have been Mary Evans (1828-1895), whose father was John Evans, (1791-1857) who was born and died at Gogoyan. Mary's sister, Diana, had a son called Jonathan Ceredig Davies, author, traveller and expert on Welsh folklore.
However, I am not 100% sure. I live a long way from Wales and can only rely on online records. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Caulfeild

Hi Max, apologies for the delay in replying but I haven't been on rootschat for 2 years! I was interested to see your connection with an Esther and John Griffiths but I'm not sure whether they're my ancestors. I'm descended from their son, Thomas, b 1837. Who are you descended from? It would help to see if we are indeed related. It must be wonderful having a family Bible from such a long time ago!
Regards,
Caulfeild

Great to hear from you Jen.

 I'm really excited about learning more about the Rees family in Llangybi. I don't exactly live near Wales so it's been hard to get much info so far about this branch of my family tree. My mum's maiden name was Rees.

Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks!

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Morien Morgan

I will definitely be sending off for a birth certificate for my grandfather Lewis Llewellyn to check his mother's name.

I've got details of the Reeses back to the 1841 census and have collected background info on the places they lived in.

I'm pretty disheartened though about having spent a long time researching the Edwards all the way back to Somerset. I got back as far as 1596 in Wilts with one line.

Don't blame yourself though - I didn't force you to help!

Thanks for all this info Morgan but if you are right it means a huge chunk of my research is completely wrong. I was told by my grandma (Lewis Rees's wife) that his mother was called Mary Ann Edwards and was from Aberdare and that his father's father was a blacksmith. This fits with the info I have gathered so far.

I feel really confused and need to go and sift through your findings and straighten things out.

Dear Morgan

Thanks for the info about the Morgans. Some of the names match those on the obituary notice. I've now got to work out how John Morgan fits into my tree.

However, my grt grandmother was called Mary Ann Edwards. She was born 1863 in Aberdare, but her parents were West Country immigrants. She married Jenkin Rees in 1883.

Very best wishes,

Alison
