The descendents of some of these siblings still live in Merionethshire today,  but unfortunatley I am not in touch.

If anyone knows of this family or have any information please get in touch,  it would be lovely to hear from you.  Thank you.  All the best.

Hello,

 I am trying to find a Baptism date for my ancestor Hannah/Anna Gray,  but unfortunately I haven't been able to find her,  I've looked at the Freereg site  and I've found her father's Baptism date of 1 June 1791 St Lawrence in Rode.

I have a rough date for Hannah birth and its 1821/1826 Rode, Somerset, her parents names were Edward & Mary.    Hannah had 4 brothers and one sister and I have been unable to find them as well.

Edward's parents names were Edward and Elizabeth ( nee ) Leigh I found their marriage which was on the 4 Sept 1790 St Lawrence, Rode.

If anyone can help me I will be so grateful.  Thank you very much.

I have a Richard Mees Sainsbury born 1788 he has two other siblings, Hugh Byron and Phebe, their parents names were Richard and Mary Byron,  they lived in Wilton by Salisbury.

If anyone is also researching this family I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

Can anybody help me with this please,  I have found a possible husband for my ancestor,  I have a William Barnes married to an Ellen Roberts of Pembroke in 1874, William was born in Hamshire, Isle of Wight in 1851 and was a Soldier in the 9th Brigade R A in 1881 in Kent,  can anybody tell me if this regiment was stationed in Pembroke at all,  I know Ellen's father James Roberts was a Soldier and was stationed in Hamshire on the Isle of Wight in 1851 and I am trying to peice together if there is a possibility that maybe James knew the father of William  and thats how they got together or did William & Ellen meet because he was stationed in Pembroke.

Any advice or information would be a great help.        Thank you very much.

I don't know where he comes from, its a bit of a mystery.  On his marriage certificate 28 Sept 1907, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire it states that he was  age 26 & a  Bachelor, and that he was a Collery Repairer, his name was Robert Henry Maiden and was living with his in-laws to be at 44 Church Street, Aberbargoed.  His fathers name was Arthur Maiden but was deceased at the time of marriage, his profession was a Coal Miner.

I can not find Robert or his family in the 1901 census anywhere, but in the 1891 & 1881 census I did find a family by the name of Maden,  1st in 1881 there is a family living at Leicester, it states that Robert Maden with a father by the same name of Arthur and a mother of Elizabeth  was about  1879, my ancestor  was born about 1881, then in 1891 the family then moved to Coity, Bridgend, Wales. their last name hadchanged to Maiden and the father Arthur had died, one or two of the children are no longer living with the family.

My ancestor Robert moved from Monmouthshire to Penrhiwceiber with his wife,  there is an Elizabeth ( his mother ) lving quite near in Abercynon who married a Patrick Clark in Bridgend 1893,  I think because I can't find anything else that these could be my family but do you think I can find any of their birth dates ? no, can anybody help me please,if not can anybody try and explain to me why a family are not down on the birth registers.  Thank you in advance for any help given.  thank you.
