Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Can anyone recognise this place.
« on: Saturday 13 September 08 15:57 BST (UK)  »
Thanks all for trying, I doubt if I'll ever be sure where it is.

My G, G, Grandfather David Griffiths was born there around 1816, his father was Morris Griffiths (a blacksmith).
I suppose I could hunt through the parish registrars for his baptism records, but for the whole of Glamorgan, a very daunting task and I wouldn't know where/how to begin.

Cherry,

Thanks for all that advice, I will certainly book a session at the records office as soon I can conveniently do so.
I will also pass on your information to that chap on curiousfox, although I'm not a member either, I'll find away around that.
After my visit to the records office I will post my findings here to keep you updated with my quest.

Thanks again for all your help.

John, (baracws)

Found the following on the curiosfox website

David Owen b. circa.1819 (May 06 Red)

Looking for info on the family of David Owen of Gollon. Father was Edward Owen (Labourer) on marriage certificate in 1843.at St. Harmon

Looks like the same family? Were Sarah and David baptised at St. Harmon?

I'll have to take a trip up to Llandrindod records office to see what I can dig out. Would they hold marriage records prior to 1837?

cherryg,

The 1826 birth of their other daughter Elizabeth ties up nicely with her known age.
Sorry I have no information on Edwards marriage to his second (I now believe) wife Elizabeth.
It would also be nice to know the maiden name of Margaret, as she being the mother of my G.G. Grandmother.

Thanks for helping me with this.

Regards, baracws

cherryg,

Thanks for that very interesting information. From the 1841 census.
Radnorshire 1841
ABBEYCWMHIR

HO107 1455 ED 7 F 9 P11
GOLLON
Fennongarreg  (Ffynnongarreg)
OWEN, Edward,  50, Farmer, No
OWEN, Elizabeth,  45, Y
REES, Sarah,  25, F.S., Y
REES, Hanah,  3, Y
REES, Thomas,  1, Y

So it's possible that Elizabeth was Edwards second wife. Edwards daughter, also named  Elizabeth was my G,G, Grandmother, who married Edward Meredith on Christmas eve 1845. I have a copy of their wedding certificate, which got me on the trail of Edward Owen.

Thanks again, Baracws

cherryg,

Thank you for your very kind offer, but I have since discovered that my Edward Owen was at Ffynnon-garreg near Bwlch-y-Sarnau in 1841 and he died during the same decade.
